Communal garden maintenance in Brockham

Shared lawns, beds and hedges for Brockham’s blocks of flats, on a fixed annual price.

Communal garden maintenance in Brockham covers the shared lawns, beds and parking courts round the parish’s blocks of flats. The 2011 census counted 104 flats across the parish. Every one of those shared grounds needs lawns cut, beds weeded and hedges kept off the parking.

We already look after communal beds and hedges at blocks of flats locally, so we know what residents notice: shaggy edges, weeds in the gravel, a hedge brushing their car door. You get a written schedule, one fixed annual price, and invoices monthly or quarterly.

Communal garden maintenance for Brockham’s shared sites

Communal grounds maintenance works best when one team gets to know the site. We look after the lawn, the beds and the hedges on a written schedule. On the clay under most of the village, shared lawns go soft and rutted if they’re mown wet, and parking courts collect moss and weeds along the kerbs. We schedule around that. We’ll quote against your existing specification line by line, or write one with you after a site walk.

Hedges are usually the sticking point. A screening hedge round a parking court that gets cut once a year by whoever’s free turns into a wall that blocks sightlines and drops leaves on cars. We cut ours on a schedule, with the main work outside nesting season, and every cutting leaves the site the same day.

One contact for the managing agent or RMC

Managing agents, residents’ management companies and freeholders all get the same arrangement: one point of contact, the same team on site and insurance certificates on request. If a resident raises something, ring us and we’ll pick it up on the next visit, or sooner if it’s a safety matter such as a hedge overhanging a path. In autumn we keep paths and drains clear of leaves, because that’s when residents start slipping.
