Grass cutting and grounds maintenance

The Council manages and maintains roadside grass verges and shrub beds to ensure that areas are well kept and public areas are tidy and attractive.

We are also responsible for cutting semi-rural and rural areas together with other sites involving specific degrees of difficulty such as wildflower meadows, dual carriageways, and sites with limited access.

Grass cutting is generally carried out between March and October and is cut a minimum of 18 times per year. Frequency of grass cutting is weather dependent. Highway inspectors monitor performance throughout the year.

The grass cutting schedule provides details of the grass maintenance programme and lists the last dates that grass cutting took pace across Wirral.

To report a problem about the grass cutting service use the "Report Maintenance Issue" button on the right or contact Streetscene.

For enquiries relating to grass cutting at other public open spaces contact Streetscene.

Not all grassed areas are the responsibility of the Council. If you are unsure as to who is responsible for maintaining a particular verge, please contact Streetscene as they may be able to help.
