We take care of shrubs and rose beds in places like:

  • Parks
  • Cemeteries
  • Roadside areas
  • Town centre gardens
  • Around blocks of flats

We also look after Grass and Hedges in these areas.

If you notice a problem with a shrub or rose bed (like it's messy or overgrown), you can report it online.

When we do the work

In parks and neighbourhoods:

We trim bushes twice a year:

  • Summer: We cut back anything blocking paths, roads, or windows.
  • Winter: We do a full trim.

We kill weeds twice a year and pick up litter every time we visit.

In busy places like the Town Centre

  • We trim bushes twice a year.
  • We hand-pull weeds once a month (April to October).
  • We pick up litter every week.

Busy places include:

  • Town Centre
  • High Street
  • Fairlands Valley Park
  • Millennium Garden
  • Local shopping areas

What We Don’t Do

We don’t look after bushes that are;

  • on private land, or
  • owned by other organisations (not the council).
