Introduction
The Somerset Council Landlord Service is responsible for maintaining the green and open spaces on our housing estates. Most of the estates are in Wellington and Taunton and surrounding villages of the former Somerset West and Taunton Council district.
The grass cutting schedule on this page covers the service provided only in those areas.
Grass cutting is an important part of maintaining the appearance and health of our green spaces. Our team follows a schedule to ensure that grass is cut in a timely and efficient way.
Standards
We have two standards for grass cutting – cut and fly, and cut and collect.
- General needs areas will be cut to a cut and fly standard, where grass clippings are left on the ground to decompose and provide nutrients to the soil.
- Sheltered housing uses the cut and collect method, where grass clippings are collected and removed. This service is paid for from higher service charges.
Please refer to the schedule below for specific dates and locations for grass cutting. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain our green spaces.
