Grass Cutting

We undertake highway grass verge cutting on behalf of Essex County Council.

Essex County Council is required to keep verges safe and unobstructed – especially at road junctions where clear visibility for motorists and pedestrians is important.

Funding is allocated annually to us to ensure that grass cutting is undertaken to ensure safety.

We strive to keep highway verges under 100mm in height, aiming to cut every three weeks where required. However, there are times when this is not feasible due to poor ground/ weather conditions or access limitations.

If you feel that the grass in your road or area has not been cut for some time, please contact us using the form below.

We will cut grass on all council owned land including our Parks and Open Spaces and Leisure Centres, but we do not cut grass on privately owned land.
