During the first growing season the project area may need to be mowed to control <br />annual weed development. If a "closed" canopy of weed cover develops, it should be <br />mowed to aid in the growth of the prairie seedlings by reducing competition. Mowing is <br />may also be necessary if the weeds are about to set seed. Optimum cutting height, <br />depending on the wildflower species present, is typically 4 to 6 inches. Mowings done <br />by PRI will be billed separately unless they are included as part of the installation <br />contract. <br />3. In years following the first growing season, management services could include site <br />monitoring, burning, mowing, spot spraying, or hand weeding. These services should <br />be contracted separately from the installation contract. Please note that management <br />services are typically billed on a time and materials basis (a breakdown of cost <br />ingredients would be available prior to contract acceptance). <br />4 <br />
