be kept and made available to the County's representative upon request.
A. MOWING AND EDGING: Mowing and edging shall include medians as well as those areas,if existing,along the
outside edge of the sidewalks of adjacent properties. All turf shall be mowed with mulching type mower equipment
to eliminate the need to bag and transport grass clippings. Should bagging be necessary,the bagged clippings shall

The frequency of cutting will be weekly or fifty-two(52)times.
Mechanical edging of the turf shall be done with each mowing along all sidewalk edges,back of concrete curbs,
around all planting beds,utility service boxes,street light bases,sign posts,headwalls,guardrails,timer pedestals,
posts,and trees. Metal blade edging is not permitted along back of curbing. Grass root runners extending into the
mulched areas shall be cut and removed when the edging is performed. Edging will also be required in all turf areas
around isolated trees,sprinkler heads,valve boxes,shrubs,sign posts,manholes,etc.where they exist. All debris on
streets,sidewalks or other areas resulting from edging shall be removed.No herbicide shall be used for edging.
All sidewalks,curbing and/or gutters shall be cleaned after each service. All sidewalks shall be blown clean,but no
clippings or other debris shall be blown or allowed to be deposited on other adjacent property or accumulate on
right-of-way areas.
B. WEEDING: Weeding of plant beds,sidewalks(asphalt,concrete or pavers),guardrail bases,and curb joints as well
as other mulched areas by chemical and/or hand removal will be performed weekly or as necessary to provide a
weed free and well maintained area.
C. GENERAL SITE PRUNING: General site pruning shall be defined as the pruning of any plant's foliage below
ten-foot(10')foot.
All groundcovers,shrubs, canopy trees and palms up to ten foot(10') level, shall be inspected and pruned on a
weekly or an as needed basis, so to maintain the proper or required heights for visibility, vehicular movement
purposes and desired shape or form as determined by County's representative. Pruning shall also include removal of
water sprouts,suckers and any dead or diseased foliage or branches.
During the first week of October and April, ornamental grasses, such as Fountain grass, Florida Gamma or
Fakahatchee grass shall be pruned in a pyramid shape to a twelve inch(12")or twenty-four(24")height based upon

direction and approval of the County's representative.
Plant material with a canopy over pedestrian sidewalks shall be maintained at a minimum height of one hundred
twenty inches(120"). Shrubs and groundcovers adjacent to pathways or sidewalks shall be pruned to maintain one
foot(1')of clearance from the edge of the pathway. IT is recommended that adjacent shrubs and groundcovers be
maintained so that they angle or are rounded away from the pathway.
D. TRASH REMOVAL: With each service,all sites shall be cleaned by removing all trash or debris to include,but
not limited to; paper, bottles, cans, other trash, and horticultural debris. All debris or trash pick-ups shall be
performed"prior"to mowing in all turf areas. The disposal of all trash and debris must be at a proper landfill or
