Grounds maintenance and grass cutting

We work in partnership with Tivoli Services to maintain land that we own. We are responsible for the following:

  • Grass cutting and strimming
  • Maintenance of trees, shrubs, hedges, roses and flower beds
  • Weed control (except highways maintained by Cumbria County Council)
  • Litter control and removal of dog faeces
  • Planting of trees, shrubs, bulbs and plants
  • Seeding and marking out of sports pitches
  • Protection of nature conservation sites and reserves.

Report any overgrown grass or plants to us using our General Enquiry form

Maintenance of non-council land

On non-council owned sites, the land owners are responsible for the trees and grounds maintenance. Other green spaces may be the responsibility of housing associations, private landowners or other bodies.

Roadside verges are cut and maintained by Cumbria County Council's highways department .

Council Strategy design

Cumberland Council

On 1 April 2023 local government in Cumbria changed, with Cumberland Council providing all your council services.  

Don't worry though, your bins will be emptied as normal, and you'll still be able to speak to the same team about any enquiries to do with things like council tax, benefits, planning or any other service.

Find out more about the changes.

Keep up to date by finding and following the new council on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
