A. MOWING AND EDGING: Mowing and edging shall include medians as well as those areas, if existing,

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

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

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

twenty inches (120 "). Shrubs and groundcovers adjacent to pathways or sidewalks shall be pruned to maintain
