Grounds Maintenance
Managed grounds kept in order, all year round.
Scheduled maintenance for commercial sites, estates and managed grounds, on a fixed rota with one point of contact. Larger private gardens too.
What we do
One team, a set schedule, no chasing.
We maintain commercial sites, managed residential estates, private estates and business premises. The rota and the scope are agreed once, in writing, and the same crew works to it across the year.
Larger grounds need more than mowing: hedges, ditches, paddocks and access routes all have their own season. We plan those into the year rather than reacting to them.
Larger private gardens, estates and bigger properties are looked after on the same terms. That is where a team of two to six earns its keep: a big garden is done properly in one visit rather than chipped away at over several.
As well as the ongoing maintenance, we offer our other services as and when required, along with winter gritting and pothole repairs.
Commercial contracts
Managing a site, an estate or a portfolio?
The commercial page sets out how a grounds contract works with us: a site walk before any price, a written scope and rota, one named contact, and insurance and method statements supplied up front.

Common questions
Questions we get about maintenance.
Do you take on commercial contracts?
Yes. Business premises, managed sites and estates are maintained on a fixed rota with one point of contact. The commercial grounds maintenance page sets out how contracts work.
Do you look after private gardens?
Yes, larger ones. Bigger gardens, estates and properties with grounds are maintained on the same terms as commercial sites: a regular rota, the same team each time, and a scope agreed up front. With a team of two to six, that is the work we are set up for.
How often do you visit?
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly for most grounds and larger gardens. Paddocks and rough grassland usually run on a seasonal rota instead. The schedule is set when we agree the scope.
Is it the same team each time?
Yes, wherever we can. The crew that sets up the schedule is the crew that works it, so nobody has to re-explain the property.
What happens to the arisings?
Removed from site or chipped and left on site, whichever suits the property. Agreed up front so it is not a surprise on the invoice.
Do you work through winter?
Yes. Growth slows but hedges, ditches, clearance and drainage are winter work. Visit frequency usually drops rather than stopping.
How quickly will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. A site visit is usually within the same week. We look at the property before quoting anything.
