Pulling Weeds
Sometimes plants grow in places where we don't want them. We call these unwanted plants "weeds."
The municipality removes weeds from the sidewalk using brush cutters and brush trimmers. A brush cutter is a type of sander that rotates and vibrates. A brush trimmer is a type of lawn mower with a long handle and a circular blade that spins very quickly. These devices can damage fences, walls, and hedges. To ensure that the city does not cause any damage, it therefore leaves weeds near fences, walls, and hedges untouched.
Level of Maintenance of Public Spaces
This method of weed removal is also in line with the maintenance standards for public spaces in Voorschoten. For more information about these maintenance standards, visit this website:
