Rural Routes, such as US 421 and other rural two-lane routes: # Projects will have three (3) full cycles (Type 3) with the first cycle beginning in late May. # The mowing height will be 6-10 inches. # Trimming and Litter Removal will be performed on those county or route projects that have them as a work item. # We are encouraging the application of PGR on selected areas for better vegetation control. Districts electing to apply a Plant Growth Regulator to the roadside turf in late April and early May to prevent the growth of seed heads on the grass do so in lieu of a mowing cycle. However, they will have the option to add a mowing cycle if the weather does not allow the district to get the PGR materials applied or if their efforts are unsuccessful.
