Grounds maintenance on a regular visit
Overgrown grounds get noticed by neighbours and inspectors alike, and people living there deserve better. A regular visit keeps it from becoming a clearance job.
What a visit covers
- Cutting grass
- Trimming hedges and shrubs
- Clearing weeds from paths and beds
- Clearing leaves in autumn
- Tidying back overgrown areas
- Taking the waste away
We agree what each visit includes and how often we come, then keep to it.
211 visits and orders
Between July 2024 and August 2026 we carried out 160 contracted grounds visits and 51 other grounds orders for IKE Supported Housing, making it one of the largest parts of that work. Grounds maintenance is named in their reference letter.
Noise at the right time
Mowers and strimmers are loud, and for someone with autism or a sensory need an unexpected one can ruin a day. Where people live on site, we fix the time of the visit with staff so that it does not come as a surprise.
Spotting the rest while there
Whoever is outside regularly sees the things nobody else does: the gutter that has slipped, the fence panel that has gone, the slab that has lifted. Those get reported back to you, and because we also do external repairs and guttering, the same firm can fix them.
Proof it happened
Each visit is logged with the date. If a commissioner or an owner asks whether the contract is being carried out, you can show them.
Where we work
We take on grounds maintenance across County Durham, Teesside and Tyne and Wear, working from our base in Newton Aycliffe. See the towns we cover, or find out how we work.
What people ask first
How often do you come?
We agree that with you. Growing season needs more visits than winter.
Can you do a one off clearance?
Yes, and if you want it kept that way we can agree regular visits after.
Do you cut down trees?
Larger trees need a qualified tree surgeon, and we will tell you if that is what you need.
