Hedge Cutting & Verge Mowing

BACK TO OUR SERVICES

From routine maintenance to challenging overgrown sites, we have the people, modern equipment and experience to keep large areas of vegetation safely and professionally managed.

We continue to invest in modern tractors and specialist machinery, helping our team work efficiently while delivering a high standard of finish across roadsides, rural areas, commercial sites and larger properties.

Combined with our wider grounds and arboriculture teams, this gives us the flexibility to take on everything from regular contracted maintenance to more challenging one-off projects.

If you have an area that's becoming difficult to manage, or you're looking for a reliable contractor to look after it long term, we'd be happy to take a look and discuss what's needed.

Welcome to Skippers Ground Maintenance
Verge Mowing & Roadside Vegetation Management

We provide professional highway verge mowing, roadside grass cutting and vegetation management for local authorities, highways contractors, commercial clients, estates and private roads.

We're proud to carry out local authority verge maintenance contracts for clients including Maldon District Council and Braintree District Council, giving our team experience delivering programmed grass cutting and vegetation management across public highway networks.

Our services include:

  • Highway and roadside verge mowing
  • Local authority verge maintenance
  • Rural verge cutting
  • Central reservation mowing
  • Junction and visibility splay cutting
  • Roadside vegetation and scrub clearance
  • Heavy and overgrown vegetation
  • Programmed seasonal grass cutting
  • One-off vegetation clearance

More Than Just Verge Mowing

Where vegetation has become too heavy for conventional mowing, our arboriculture team can work alongside our grounds team to tackle scrub, woody growth, overhanging branches and small trees.

This means we can take on heavily overgrown areas requiring chainsaw work, vegetation clearance and mowing as part of the same job, rather than clients having to coordinate several different contractors.

Specialist Highway & Central Reservation Mowing

Our GreenTec Spider allows us to mow from either side of the tractor, including right-hand operation for central reservation mowing.

This specialist equipment, combined with our wider range of tractors and mowing machinery, allows us to tackle everything from routine programmed verge maintenance to more challenging roadside locations.

Where work requires lane closures or other highway controls, we can also coordinate the necessary traffic management, providing clients with a more complete service.

Whether you require a regular highway grass cutting programme or have an area of roadside vegetation that's become seriously overgrown, we have the people, machinery and experience to bring it back under control.

Looking for a highway verge mowing, local authority grass cutting or roadside vegetation management contractor? Get in touch to discuss your requirements.

Welcome to Skippers Ground Maintenance
Flail Mowing, Cut & Collect

For long grass, rough vegetation, brambles and overgrown areas that are beyond conventional mowing, our flail mowing service provides an efficient way to bring the ground back under control.

We provide commercial flail mowing and vegetation clearance for roadsides, highways, paddocks, fields, development land, estates, commercial sites and large open spaces.

Our services include:

  • Flail mowing and rough grass cutting
  • Long grass and heavy vegetation clearance
  • Bramble and scrub cutting
  • Paddock and field topping
  • Roadside and highway vegetation cutting
  • Large-area clearance
  • Cut and collect mowing
  • Site preparation ahead of further works

Cut, Collect & Remove

Sometimes simply cutting the vegetation isn't enough.

Where a cleaner finish is required, we can cut and collect grass and vegetation, with the option to load and remove the arisings from site.

This is particularly useful for highway and roadside works, commercial sites, development land, wildflower management and areas being prepared for seeding or reinstatement.

We can also support contractors with planned highway and night works, including cut-and-collect operations where traffic management is required.

More Than Just Mowing

For sites with heavier scrub, woody vegetation, branches or small trees, our arboriculture team can work alongside our mowing operation to tackle areas that machinery alone can't deal with.

And if clearance is only the first stage, our wider capabilities include stump grinding, excavator works, cultivation, ground preparation and specialist seeding, allowing us to take the project further.

Welcome to Skippers Ground Maintenance
Commercial & Highway Hedge Cutting

We provide professional tractor and sidearm hedge cutting for local authorities, highways, commercial sites, estates, farms and large properties.

Using specialist tractor-mounted equipment, we can maintain long stretches of hedgerow efficiently while producing a tidy, consistent finish.

Our hedge cutting services include:

  • Highway and roadside hedge cutting
  • Local authority hedge maintenance
  • Commercial and industrial sites
  • Rural roads and lanes
  • Estates and large properties
  • Field and boundary hedges
  • Overgrown hedge and vegetation clearance
  • Regular programmed or one-off cutting

Large-Scale & Overgrown Hedges

Our sidearm equipment allows us to efficiently manage long, tall and difficult-to-reach hedges, as well as heavier vegetation and brambles that would be impractical to tackle entirely by hand.

Whether it's routine annual maintenance or a boundary that's become heavily overgrown, we can recommend the most practical approach for the site.

Backed by Our Arboriculture Team

Where a hedge contains larger branches, damaged limbs, trees or woody growth beyond the capability of normal hedge-cutting equipment, our arboriculture team can work alongside the tractor operation.

This allows us to combine mechanical hedge cutting, chainsaw work and tree works where required, providing a more complete vegetation management service.

For highway works, we can also coordinate traffic management where required.
