Midlothian trustees approve summer landscaping contract for nine vacant lots
Summary
The Village of Midlothian approved a summer maintenance contract with Albert and Sons Landscaping after the company raised its per-cut price by $5; trustees said service can begin next week and the company will rotate properties as needed.
Trustee Jed presented the 2026 summer landscaping proposal from Albert and Sons Landscaping Company and told the board the village used the firm last year. He said the company’s per‑cut price rose by $5 from last year’s $70 and that there are nine vacant lots the village needs maintained.
Trustee Jed said the contractor will attempt a weekly rotation through the lots but may revert to a longer rotation and notify the village if it cannot complete all properties in one week. “They were $70 per cut. They have increased their price by $5 a cut and right now we currently have nine vacant lots that will need to be maintained,” Trustee Jed said.
A motion to approve the 2026 summer proposal was made and seconded. Roll‑call votes recorded Trustees Jed, Johnson, Crowley, Hilly and Kelly voting in favor; the motion carried.
The board did not specify total contract value in the meeting record; trustees said work could begin as soon as next week and that frequency last year was bi‑weekly. The board did not report additional conditions or a contract length in the transcript.
The village will proceed with Albert and Sons to maintain the listed lots and the public works/administration staff will follow up on scheduling and any rotation details.
