Communal garden maintenance in Horne
Shared drives, verges and boundary hedges for groups of homes around Horne.
Horne’s shared ground is rural. The 2011 census counted 38 flats across the parish, and communal garden maintenance in Horne usually means homes on a shared drive, a converted building with a shared lawn, or a few houses with a common boundary hedge. Those still need someone reliable, and they still need a clear price.
We already look after communal beds and hedges at blocks of flats locally, and we bring the same approach to shared drives and converted buildings. Residents want the same thing everywhere: tidy grass, hedges kept off the cars and nothing to complain about. Every site gets a written schedule and a fixed price.
What we look after
- Communal lawns and verges
- Parking court beds and kerb lines
- Boundary and screening hedges
- Bin store and entrance planting
- Paths, steps and gravel kept weed-free
- Leaf clearance from paths and drains
- Gritting paths, steps and car parks in frost and snow

Shared ground in a rural parish
Shared rural ground often falls between the cracks. Nobody quite owns the verge by the entrance, the boundary hedge gets cut when someone loses patience, and the drive edges fill with weeds. A simple schedule fixes that. We cut the shared grass, keep the hedges off the drive and the lane, weed the edges and clear leaves in autumn. It also means nobody has to knock on a neighbour’s door about it.
On Horne’s clay, shared verges by a drive entrance can get churned up in winter by delivery vans. We’ll flag it if a strip is getting damaged rather than mowing ruts into it.
Communal garden maintenance paperwork for residents and agents
You get a written annual schedule, one fixed price and invoices monthly or quarterly. Our quotes list each task, how often it’s done and what it costs, so residents can see where the money goes. Nothing is hidden in a lump sum. We’ll quote against an existing spec too. And if a new resident takes over the paperwork, the written schedule makes the handover simple.
If your block is in Horley, Lingfield or East Grinstead rather than Horne itself, that’s fine. Our grounds maintenance covers all three.

We’re four houses on a shared drive. Can you look after it?
Yes. A shared drive is worth doing properly, and the schedule is set to what the site needs.
Who do you invoice?
Whoever holds the contract. That might be a residents’ company, a managing agent or one owner collecting from the others.
Any communal garden maintenance tips for residents?
Agree one person as the contact, keep bins and cars off the verges in wet weather, and tell us about problems early. It saves a lot of emails.
