Mowing

Mowing Parks and Sports Fields

Parks and sports fields and boulevard lawns throughout Saanich are mowed on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.  We strive to reach all parks as soon as possible in the spring, but with the rapid growth and wet conditions, it takes at least three weeks to complete the first cycle.

Rough and Roadside Mowing

Saanich has over 300km of undeveloped roadsides and 60 undeveloped park locations that are rough mowed 1 - 2 times per year.  This program runs from late May through July each year.  Scheduling of the routes is adapted to suit geographical efficiency, safety and sighline concerns, type of vegetation, ground conditions and environmental considerations such as wildflowers.
