What commercial properties need from a grounds contractor
What we hear from committees, managers and site owners, and how we handle it.
A good first impression
Entrances, frontage gardens and planters kept neat, with weeds gone from paving, kerbs and car park islands.
Work around trading hours
Visits early or at quieter times, so mowers and blowers don't disturb customers or block car parks when you're busiest.
Safe for staff and visitors
Paths and car parks kept clear of clippings and debris, and a site-specific health and safety plan before we start.
Reporting for the landlord
A short photo report after each visit that you can pass on to the owner, tenant or facilities manager.

Through the year
A year of grounds care at a Tauranga business
Customers see the frontage every day, so the schedule keeps it presentable while growth rises and falls through the year.
SpringSep–Nov
Growth takes off. Visits step up, gardens weeded and the first hedge trim done.
SummerDec–Feb
Peak growth and the busiest trading months. Weekly mowing where needed and frontages kept sharp.
AutumnMar–May
Leaf fall in car parks and gutters. Second hedge trim and a good time to refresh planters.
WinterJun–Aug
Fewer mowing visits. Weed spraying on hard surfaces and planning any bigger garden work.
Compliance
Health and safety, insurance and reporting
When you bring a contractor onto your site, you share health and safety duties with them, and those duties can't be contracted out. A contractor who plans and records their work makes that easier.

Commercial properties: common questions
Can't see your question? Call or text 0800 634 245 and talk to the team.
Can you spray weeds in the car park and paving?
Yes. We spray weeds in car parks, paving, kerbs and fence lines on a regular schedule, so they never get established.
Can you work before we open?
Usually, yes. Tell us your trading hours on the site walk and we'll schedule visits for the quietest time we can.
Do you look after several sites?
Yes. Multiple sites can go on one contract and one monthly invoice, with a report for each site.
How is the price set?
After a free site walk, we give a fixed monthly price for the agreed scope and schedule.
What happens if we need work that isn't in the scope?
We'll tell you what it is and give you a fixed price first. Nothing outside the scope is invoiced without your approval.
Are we locked into a long contract?
No. We agree a scope and schedule, and review it with you. You're not locked into a long-term contract.
