What is grounds maintenance?

Grounds maintenance is the scheduled care of the outside of commercial premises, such as lawns, hedges, shrub beds, hard landscaping and car parks, so the site looks well kept and paths stay safe to use.

What does our grounds maintenance service include?

  • Grass cutting and edging through the season
  • Hedge and shrub pruning
  • Weed control on paths and car parks
  • Litter picking and bin emptying
  • Leaf clearance in autumn
  • Planting and seasonal colour

What are the legal requirements?

The Occupiers' Liability Act 1957 places a duty of care on occupiers towards visitors, so trip hazards, overgrown sightlines and slippery leaf fall on paths need managing.
