Soft landscape maintenance

We look after:

  • trees
  • hedges and shrubs
  • shrubs and flowers
  • overhanging vegetation
  • grass
  • conservation and biodiversity on our highway verges.

As part of Kent's Plan Bee Pollinator Action Plan we are identifying ways we can enhance biodiversity and conservation while balancing the important need to keep our highways safe for all users. Find out more about our plan.
