Churchyard grass cutting in Nutfield

Careful mowing round headstones, and grounds care for Nutfield’s churches and village spaces.

Nutfield has two churches with very different characters. St Peter and St Paul’s on the hill is Grade II* listed, with an early 13th century core, Horsham Stone roofs and two Burne-Jones windows. Christ Church in South Nutfield is red brick and opened in 1888, four years after the station. Churchyard grass cutting in Nutfield needs to respect the age and feel of each.

We strim by hand round memorials, keep paths clear for visitors and funerals, and leave wilder areas long where that’s what you want. We’re happy to work to an existing specification, and visits are planned around your diary rather than ours.

Churchyard grass cutting in Nutfield, round old stones on a slope

St Peter and St Paul’s stands on the greensand hill, and sandy ground drains fast, so grass between graves can scorch in a dry July and look shabby if it’s cut too short. We cut higher in summer and take extra care on slopes, where a mower can slide into a kerb or a stone. Older memorials can be fragile, so we strim round them by hand rather than risk catching an edge. Churchyard maintenance also means paths, porches and gates cleared each visit, with leaves taken away in autumn.

Parish council grass cutting contracts and village spaces

Nutfield is a civil parish, and village spaces need someone reliable to keep them right: a green or a verge, the grounds round a hall, a closed churchyard, a memorial. We’re glad to look after one space or the whole list. We’ll price against your specification line by line, cut to an agreed regime including cut-and-collect areas and wildflower patches left until late summer, and check the diary before each visit. With the Nutfield Marshes reserves just north of the village, leaving some long grass for wildlife fits the place, and we’re happy to work that way.

Churches and councils in Nutfield: your questions

Anything else, just ring. You’ll speak to the people who do the work.

Can you leave parts of the churchyard long?

Yes. We’ll mow paths through meadow areas and cut the long grass once in late summer, collecting it so the ground doesn’t get richer and crowd out the wildflowers.

Can you quote for a parish council grass cutting contract?

Yes. Send us the specification and schedule and we’ll price it line by line, whether it’s one site or several around the parish.

Will you work around funerals and services?

Always. We check with the churchwarden or parish office before each visit and stay well away during services, weddings and funerals.
