Planned grounds maintenance

Joined-up outdoor care for estates, developments, and commercial sites.

I design maintenance schedules that keep every aspect of your grounds on brief. From lawns and planting to hardstanding and compliance checks, each visit is logged and backed by a clear action list.

From £1,100 per month

Weekly visit covering lawns, beds, reporting, and light litter patrol.

Managed courtyard & frontage

Fortnightly lawn cut, planter refresh, and monthly detailed tidy.

Ad-hoc estate support

£240 per maintenance day

Single-operative day for top-ups, leaf clearance, or project prep.

Programme planning

  • Site survey capturing lawn areas, planting, hardscape, play, and utilities.
  • Priority matrix agreed with you so we focus on the spaces residents or visitors use most.
  • Shared schedule with visit frequencies, task lists, and seasonal triggers so you always know what's next.
  • You work directly with me on every adjustment or request—no hand-offs.

Reporting & communication

  • Visit notes issued within 24 hours with photos, completed tasks, and follow-up actions.
  • Reactive issue logging (storm damage, vandalism, urgent repairs) flagged immediately, with trusted partners called in when extra hands are needed.
  • Risk assessments and method statements provided for higher-risk tasks.
  • Waste transfer notes and recycling data available for your records.

Example schedule

Every site is different, but this outline shows how we structure a typical programme:

Weekly / fortnightly visit

  • Lawn mowing, edging, and blower tidy
  • Litter pick, bin store tidy, and pathways swept
  • High-traffic shrub beds weeded and irrigated where necessary

Monthly focus works

  • Shrub shaping, deadheading, and perennial maintenance
  • Hardstanding inspection for trip hazards and loose slabs
  • Play area checks, including surface depth and equipment visuals

Quarterly / seasonal tasks

  • Fertiliser applications, mulching, and soil conditioning
  • Tree inspections, crown lifting, and leaf clearance
  • Jet washing of priority entrances and street furniture clean

Why property managers choose this service

  • Single point of contact—you speak directly to me for resident updates or board reports.
  • Professional presentation with DBS check, ID, and clear arrival windows.
  • Out-of-hours support for urgent hazards, with vetted contractors looped in if heavy kit is required.
  • Integration with your shared folders or simple CAFM tools so paperwork stays organised.

Optional services with trusted partners

  • Winter gritting, snow clearance, and call-out rota arranged with my vetted subcontractors.
  • Interior plant displays and lobby refreshes via hand-picked plant specialists.
  • Reporting packs for resident/board meetings complete with before-and-after imagery.
