Better late than never

The last project before the maintenance staff is "done" for the season is to trim and clean up all of the landscape grasses. This is going to be a huge project since it has been 3 years since the last time the grasses have been trimmed. As I'm sure everyone has seen, the grass beds were full of old, dead material and not very attractive looking. The majority of the project is consisting of removing all of the dead material. As you can see in this picture below, there is a massive amount of material to trim.

 Once all of the material has been trimmed the grasses are completely covered with the trimmings.  All of this material would normally be spread around the base of the plants as a  mulch.  However, since it has been so long since the grasses have been trimmed and there is so much material, it all have to be removed and hauled off.

 

Once the trimming are cleaned off, the grass bed looks great.  In fact, if you look closely you can see that within a few days the plants have already grown a few inches.  Once we get the dead plant material removed it shouldn't take long before the beds are full of lush, green growth.
