Grounds Maintenance

As often as the site needs. Contracts run weekly, fortnightly, monthly or quarterly, and many sites want different intervals for different areas. We also take one-off projects and annually contracted visits at intervals you determine. We survey, agree it with you, and write it into the specification.

Usually it costs more. When visits are too far apart, each one turns into catch-up work: long grass has to come down in stages, because the RHS advises never taking off more than a third of the grass height in one cut, and overgrown hedges and beds take far longer to bring back. More frequent, shorter visits keep the site at standard, and across a year they often cost less than a thinner schedule plus the re-work it creates.

It depends on the size of the grounds, what is in scope and how often we visit, so we price each site from a site walk and a written specification. Send us the address and what you need, and we will come back with a schedule and a quote.

Commercial, industrial and public-sector sites, including offices, business parks, warehouses and distribution sites, retail, managed residential estates and school grounds. If you have property in more than one region, one contract covers all of it.

Yes. Grounds can sit on one contract with our cleaning, waste and building maintenance services, with a single point of contact for the whole site. When our grounds team reports a problem from site, such as a damaged fence or a blocked drain, quoting for it and fixing it run through the same contract and the same point of contact.

Yes. Cutting cycles tighten through the growing season and shift towards clearance and cutting back as it ends. A flat schedule is wrong in May and wrong again in November.

Yes. We grit car parks, access routes, footpaths and entrances whenever the forecast air temperature is 2°C or below, and clear snow when it settles. Last winter we gritted 145 sites in a single night. Our gritting and snow clearance page has the detail.

No. On contract work we supply all the required machinery and equipment.

Both. Pathways, car parks, bin stores and patios are part of the site, and pressure washing and upkeep go into the schedule. What is included varies by client, which is why we write the scope into your specification rather than working off a standard list.

Routine pruning and shaping are part of the visit. Anything larger goes to our tree services team, and a site with a managed tree stock or protected trees is handled as arboriculture and vegetation works.

We agree KPIs at the start, monitor them as part of regular reporting, share the results, and hold quality reviews. Before-and-after photos are supplied as standard.
