The areas we cover are:

- Crematorium
- Sports fields
- Recreation areas
- Out door play areas
- Road islands
- Pumping stations
How often are the hedges trimmed?
If the hedge is the responsibility of Boston Borough Council it should be cut between July and November to avoid disturbing nesting birds. The frequency is determined by the amount of growth the hedge makes, and it is cut using good ecological and horticultural practice.
How often is weed spraying carried out on paths and hard surfaces?
Highways are sprayed twice a year.
