RIGHT OF WAY LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE SPECIFICATIONS
These specifications are intended to provide the information by which private entities may understand the minimum
requirements of Collier County relative to maintaining County rights of ways. Records of all specification requirements

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 be collected and removed at no additional cost. Grass shall be cut at a height of three
and one half inches (3 ½”). 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 the type of plant. Ornamental type grasses such as Liriope muscari ‘Evergreen Giant’, shall only be
pruned at the 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
disposal site.

include removal of all nuts, seed stalks, brown or dead and lower fronds.

use of a ladder, boom truck or lift. All debris from the pruning shall be removed and the site shall be left on a
clean and neat manner.

required that the adjacent traffic or turn lane to the work area, be closed using traffic control devices and
signage per the current FDOT traffic control standards and indexes.
H.FERTILIZATION: Granular fertilization of shrubs and groundcovers shall be applied by hand in a twelve-
inch (12”) wide radius ring around the base of the plants. Granular fertilization of the trees and palms shall
be determined by the caliper (diameter) of the trunk and broadcast by hand in a band around the plant’s base
from a distance of 12” to the drip line of the palm, whenever possible.
An 8 oz. cup equals one (1) pound. Trees and palms shall receive one (1) cup per one-inch (1”) caliper. Shrubs
and groundcovers shall receive one (1) cup per three foot (3’) of height or spread. Shrubs and
groundcovers shall receive one-half (1/2) cup per eighteen inches (18”) of height or spread. All fertilizer shall
be swept off all sidewalks, concrete curbing and paving.
The fertilizer shall be applied as set forth in the following schedule.
Turf Areas and Plant beds containing Shrubs, Groundcovers, and Trees.
The (8-0-12 +4mg) fertilizer shall be applied at a rate of ten (10) pounds per one thousand (1000) sq ft. for all
