Although we’ve now had some much-needed rain alongside the high temperatures, the grass remains quite dry. During some of our visits, you may notice that we haven’t cut the grass . This is an intentional decision to prevent placing additional stress on it, particularly when it’s already at an appropriate height.
Our teams will still be hard at work during these visits, focusing on trimming any outstanding shrubs and carrying out weeding as needed. We also encourage our colleagues to take extra care in the heat by using their break times wisely—resting in shaded areas and staying well-hydrated.
If you happen to see one of our team members on site during a particularly hot day, a glass of water would be very much appreciated!

This month, we’re pleased to welcome our new Contracts Manager, Paul Miller, who has taken over from James Hamblin in managing our Cambridge Housing Society contract. Paul brings extensive industry experience, particularly in grounds maintenance for housing developments.
We’re always looking to improve our service, so if you have any feedback or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. You can reach Paul directly on 0333 220 5485 or by emailing servicedesk@markwalkergm.co.uk

Please note that our schedule is based on “week commencing” dates. While we always aim to stick to our planned visits, factors such as unexpected staff absence or adverse weather conditions may occasionally cause changes. Rest assured, all sites will still receive their full quota of visits.

Please note the timings of some of these tasks, such as hedge cutting and shrub pruning, can be delayed due to us following horticultural best practice with certain species of hedges and shrubs. Birds nesting can affect the timings of hedge cutting also.
