Grass Cutting
Supporting your brand
If the quality and finished appearance of the grass on your grounds is important, OUTCO has the answer.
We do not work on an hourly basis but charge a fixed rate for the season for cutting your lawns and grassed areas. That means you pay no more even when your grass takes us longer to cut due to rapid growth periods or wet weather.
Our teams are trained to minimise any inconvenience to clients by completing the work as quickly as possible, whilst ensuring the OUTCO quality standards are maintained at all times. Our personnel are carefully selected, trained to OUTCO ISO standards and provided with the best grass cutting equipment on the market. Few companies or individuals cut lawns to the quality that OUTCO will – as our clients testify.
We know that lawns often give the first appearance for commercial buildings, and will provide you with a reliable fortnightly service that guarantees your grass is never longer than 75 mm and makes certain that your requirements and expectations are exceeded
