Meadow Grass Cutting 

Meadow grass areas are those areas which are allowed to grow longer, usually for ecological interest. They are cut annually during late summer with arisings removed so that a build-up of nutrients does not occur. Some locations have a narrow swath of grass cut alongside the edges to ensure areas look neat commonly known as picture framing.
