MOWING 1) All litter such as paper, cans, bottles, branches, etc. must be picked up and disposed of prior to mowing. 2) Mowing frequency shall be such that the grass cutting or clippings are not of sufficient quantity to detract from the overall site appearance. If the time between cuttings must be extended for any reason, thereby causing an excessive amount of clippings on the lawn, or if the clippings shall be eliminated by whatever means are available to the Contractor and at no expense to the Owner. 3) Mowing shall be coordinated to prevent the depositing of mowing debris into planters or flower beds.

This includes fence lines, back stops, play areas, playground equipment, under fixed bleachers, next to buildings where established plantings are not present, and around all other obstacles to provide a neat and even appearance to the entire site. 3) Care shall be used when trimming around tress and wooden posts to prevent damage to these items.
