CLEARANCE - EDGING Clause Samples

CLEARANCE - EDGING a. Where trees and shrubs occur in turf areas, all grass growth shall be limited to at least eighteen inches (18") from the trunk of trees and away from the drip line of shrubs by use of approved chemicals. Line trimmers and other types of maintenance equipment shall not be operated so as not to damage plant materials. b. Linear chemical edging of turf boundaries may be performed in a manner that ensures a defined turf edge and limits its encroachment into beds or across boundaries where it is impractical to edge mechanically. A six inch (6") barrier width shall be considered normal.
