Rievaulx Abbey - cloister lawns are maintained at 30mm
Contractors are making good use of the increasing array of mulching deck machinery now available
moles become too much of a problem, they are controlled by trapping. However, the grounds
maintenance contractor is obliged to ensure that all mole hills on site are inspected and redistributed. Moles have been known to bring artefacts to the surface, so the contractors are expected to sieve the soil before levelling and report any finds to the staff on site.
“I also manage the mature
tree stock across the territory, with regular professional tree inspections and three regional tree maintenance contracts covering 5,000 trees across the various sites.” “Wildlife management and

contracts are centred on grass cutting, maintaining pathways, litter collection and control of weeds and pests, with the aim of keeping these sites well presented, tidy and fit for purpose.” “Grass cutting usually starts in
early spring when the contractor is expected to undertake a full
