Grounds maintenance throughout the year should be prioritised just like internal cleaning duties. The outside of a building offers a first impression to visitors, a chill out lunch time spot for employees and helps to keep buildings looking polished. Grounds maintenance services may include grass cutting, waste land clearance, maintaining external eating areas and gritting during the icy months.

Grass Cutting
An excellent grass cutting service covers a whole lot more than just a quick run of the lawnmower. In addition to maintaining the grass, consider the following to keep outdoor spaces looking healthy:
- Cutting banks
- Cutting hedges
- Cutting formal grass areas
- Cutting general amenity grass
- Grass edges
- Lawn treatment
- Laying turf
- Reduction
- Summer and winter bedding plants
These services help to keep outdoors areas well maintained, with lawns kept in top condition, for a fresh and tidy welcome for visitors. This is an ideal service for those with large grass areas and gardens which are regularly used, such as schools, care homes and pub gardens.
Grounds Maintenance for Outdoor Seating Areas
For workplaces offering external eating areas for staff lunch times, or restaurants with outdoor seating for customers, grounds maintenance services can help businesses to provide an appealing and welcoming outdoor space. Clear paths, freshly cut grass and an overall well kept space to encourage people to step out for a breath of fresh air.
Snow and Gritting
During the colder seasons, keeping footpaths, car parks and roads safe is important. As temperatures begin to drop and snow begins to fall, snow and ice can cause major disruptions to sites, especially when not handled correctly. Snow and gritting should be a priority for sites where cars and pedestrians need safe access, such as shopping centres, medical centres and workplaces.
Waste Land Clearance
From taming overgrown and unsightly areas of land, to clearing the buildup of waste or large items that can’t be disposed of in refuse and recycling bins, waste land clearance can be an extremely helpful service for businesses who are struggling to know what to do.
Waste land clearance services can also assist businesses during renovations, care home and hotel clearances, and land that must be cleared for development.
