Grounds Maintenance

Our Grounds Maintenance team deal with grass cutting and tree care on the communal land that we own.

This service is to ensure that the green areas of your community are kept neat and tidy and to facilitate this we aim to cut the grass in your area every month during the summer when grass grows very quickly. Alongside this we will trim hedges, maintain ditches and flower beds.

We also have qualified tree surgeons to look after the trees on our land, removing or pruning trees that have become a nuisance and keeping all of our trees in good health and safe condition.

We frequently replace trees that we are forced to remove with smaller more suitable species in order to maintain the look of green communal areas.

Wherever possible we will try to save existing trees as we recognise that they form a vital part of the aesthetics of your area.

If you have a query about the grass cutting in your area or are worried about a potentially dangerous tree please contact:
