Total area and how it splits
Open mowable lawn is quick. The same square metreage broken up by beds, paths, bollards and car parks takes considerably longer.
Commercial Grounds
Scheduled mowing, sports surfaces, landscaping and site clearance for schools, body corporates, councils and industrial sites — under one contract, with one accountable contractor.
What We Cover
Four service lines that most sites end up needing at some point — and one contractor who can carry all of them rather than three who each blame the others.
Scheduled mowing, edging, weed and garden bed maintenance, rubbish removal and general grounds upkeep for offices, schools, body corporates and industrial sites.
Natural, synthetic and hard surfaces for clubs, schools and councils — aeration, renovation, top dressing, over-sowing and line marking, planned around the playing season.
Garden design and planting, patios, walkways, ponds and turfing — including full reinstatement of ground after tree removal or stump work.
Small to medium residential and commercial demolition, selective strip-outs, vegetation clearance and full site clearance ready for the next trade.
What’s Included
A maintenance agreement should be specific enough that nobody argues about scope in month four. This is what ours sets out before anyone signs.
Visit frequency set per area — weekly through growth season, fortnightly or monthly through winter — written down, not left to judgement.
Which lawns, which beds, which boundaries, and what happens on each visit. Anything outside it is quoted separately, never invoiced as a surprise.
The same people on your site each round. They learn the property, and you stop re-explaining where the tap and the gate key are.
Certificate of currency, JSA per site and hazard notification — the paperwork a property manager or board has to hold on file.
Arborist services on the same agreement. Most grounds contractors sub this out; we do it ourselves, which is usually faster and cheaper.
One monthly invoice covering everything, at an agreed rate. Easier to budget and far easier to reconcile.
We walk the site, map the areas, and put a written proposal in front of you with scope and frequency per area — so your board, committee or finance team can approve something specific. Site visits and proposals are free, and we are happy to price against an existing contract for comparison.
How It Is Priced
Commercial grounds are priced on area, frequency and complexity. These are the variables we assess on the walkaround.
Open mowable lawn is quick. The same square metreage broken up by beds, paths, bollards and car parks takes considerably longer.
Auckland grass barely stops. Most sites run weekly or fortnightly October to April and drop back over winter — the schedule flexes, the rate does not.
Term-time restrictions, resident parking, security escorts, after-hours-only access and traffic management all add time before any work starts.
Weeding, mulching, pruning and seasonal planting are labour, not mowing. Sites with extensive beds carry a different rate from sites that are mostly turf.
Sports turf is agronomy, not mowing — aeration, top dressing, over-sowing and marking are planned against the season and priced separately.
Some sites absorb their own clippings and prunings. Others need every load carted off, and disposal is a real line item.
What Auckland property managers, boards and facilities teams ask before putting a contract in place.
Anything from a single body corporate driveway and its garden beds up to multi-hectare school grounds, sports fields and council reserves. If the site is small enough that a one-off tidy makes more sense than a contract, we will tell you that rather than sell you a schedule you do not need.
Yes, and we plan for it in the schedule rather than treating it as an exception. Schools are generally worked outside teaching hours or during term breaks for anything noisy or disruptive. Body corporates and retail sites are commonly done early morning before residents and customers arrive.
Yes. Certificate of currency for public liability, a job safety analysis per site, and hazard notification before work starts. Property managers and boards usually need these on file, so we supply them at contract stage rather than waiting to be asked.
Yes, and this is the main reason sites move to us. We are Level 4 certified arborists as well as a grounds contractor, so pruning, removals, storm response and stump work sit on the same agreement. Most grounds companies subcontract that out, which costs you a margin and a delay.
A fixed monthly rate against an agreed scope and frequency, invoiced once a month. Anything outside the scope — storm damage, a major renovation, additional planting — is quoted separately and approved before we do it. No variable invoices you cannot predict.
Yes, and we are happy to. Send through the current scope and we will price the same schedule so the comparison is genuinely like for like. If we cannot beat it on value we will say so — that is a more useful answer than a number that quietly drops half the scope.
Free, No-Obligation
Tell us the site, roughly the area, and what is being done at the moment. We will walk the property and put a written proposal together with scope and frequency per area — free, and specific enough to take to a board.
Most grounds companies subcontract their tree work, and most arborists do not do grounds. We do both — so mowing, beds, hedges, tree work, stumps and site clearance sit under one agreement, one crew and one invoice.
