Kennet District Council undertake grass cutting and grounds maintenance throughout the district

Grass Cutting

Kennet District Council maintains approximately 650,000sqm of grass throughout the District.  This ranges from small grass verges by the road side on behalf of Wiltshire County Council; public open spaces owned by Kennet District Council; and private contracts such as schools and parish councils.

Grass that is cut on our own land and for Wiltshire County Council is cut once a month from March to October.  This is subject to seasonal variations and the old British weather.  All such grass in not collected.

Private contracts are cut and maintained as required.

Not all grass is Kennet District Council's responsibility.  Many areas are the responsibility of other landowners such as Housing Associations.  Long stretches of roadside verges are usually cut by a separate contractor for Wiltshire County Council.

Landscaping & Shrub Maintenance

As with grass cutting Kennet District Council is only responsible for areas that it owns or undertakes as part of a private contract.  All areas are attended once a month throughout the year.

If you are in any doubt as to who is responsible for cutting a particular area of grass or maintaining a shrub bed please call Environment & Amenity Services on (01380) 734665 or follow the link to fill out a   Grass Cutting form.
