Home – Your neighbourhood – Grass, hedges, trees, shrubs and flowerbeds
Where we have a responsibility, we will look after the outside spaces in your communities
Grass in communal areas owned by Broadacres will be cut around 16 times a year during the growing season, usually between the beginning of April and end of October (fortnightly, weather permitting).
Grass cuttings will be blown or swept off paths and drives back onto grassed areas. Rubbish will be removed from the grass before it is cut.
We may not cut grass in some discrete areas set aside for the benefit of wildlife, which will be mown less frequently to enable wildflowers and flowering bulbs to flourish.
Hedges in communal areas owned by Broadacres will be cut twice a year and all clippings will be collected and removed. The timing of cuts will depend upon seasonal growth and take place in line with legislation (Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981) to protect nesting birds.
We will regularly inspect and maintain our trees. Trees will only be cut down if they are dangerous or have died. We will plant new trees in areas which are appropriate, in line with our Sustainability Strategy.
Shrubs and flowerbeds to communal areas owned by Broadacres will be regularly maintained during the growing season, reduced during winter. Shrubs will be pruned well back to provide both clear and unobstructed access and vision.
