Where the limits of mowing and trimming have been previously established, or natural landscaping has been preserved, mowing shall conform to the established mowing contours unless otherwise excluded by the engineer. Mowed areas shall be uniform in appearance with no streaking or scalping. No strip of unmowed areas greater than 5 feet shall be left unmowed between two mowing areas. Mowed areas of different widths shall be connected to produce smooth flowing transitions. Clippings shall be evenly distributed over the mowed area. No large clumps of clippings shall remain after mowing. Mowing height shall be as designated in the project details. 4.2 One side of the roadway shall not be mowed to a length for which the adjacent roadside cannot be mowed the succeeding workday. At the conclusion of each working day, no more than a one (1) mile section shall be left partially mowed. 4.3 Mechanical trimming shall be performed around fixed objects within the mowed portions of the roadway right-of-way including but not limited to sign posts, delineator posts, drainage structures, grass ditches, rock ditches, guardrails, fences, bridge ends, curbs, trees, rock outcrops, landscaped areas, planting beds, soundwalls, etc., as directed by the engineer. Trimming or otherwise cutting of all vegetation shall be done along rock blankets and next to sound walls so as to provide a uniform look with the adjacent mowed area. Trimming may be performed either concurrently with the mechanized mowing operations or following the completion of mowing...
