The new season has officially started for one of our latest contracts, and it’s a project the whole team is proud to be part of.

At DTG Trees & Grounds, we’ve recently kicked off a grass cutting and grounds maintenance contract along a well-known steam railway in Devon. It’s a prestigious site, attracting visitors from across the region and beyond, and one where presentation plays a big part in the overall experience.

Maintaining a Landmark Location

Heritage railways are more than just transport links. They’re a key part of the local tourism industry, offering scenic journeys through the Devon countryside and drawing in thousands of visitors each year.

Keeping these environments well maintained is essential. From trackside areas to surrounding green spaces, everything needs to look tidy, safe and in keeping with the character of the railway.

Our role is to ensure grass cutting and general upkeep are carried out consistently, helping the site look its best throughout the season.

A Strong Start to the Contract

It’s always important to set the tone early on any new contract, and the team have done exactly that here.

After the first few visits, we received some great feedback from the client:

“Just a quick email to say I’m very happy with the progress made by the team over the last 2 days. The job was carried out to a great standard and all sites were completed in good time.”

Feedback like this is always appreciated and reflects the effort the team puts into every job, especially when working across multiple areas within a site.
