    Why bundle weed control with grounds maintenance

    Most grounds contractors mow around Japanese knotweed, bamboo or hogweed and unknowingly spread it with the same blades they use on the next site. Because invasive species surveying is part of our core business, problem stands are identified on the first walkover, isolated from the cutting programme and treated under a separate managed plan.

    Who we maintain grounds for

    Local authorities, housing associations, managing agents, schools and academy trusts, care homes, industrial estates, retail parks and private landowners. Contracts run from single-site monthly visits to multi-site frameworks with published response times.

    Grounds Maintenance Contracts — common questions

    Typical grass cutting runs fortnightly from March to October and monthly over winter, but frequencies are set to your specification and budget.

    Yes. Once the schedule of works is agreed the annual price is fixed, usually invoiced in equal monthly instalments to spread the cost.

    Yes. We handle mobilisation, including any TUPE considerations, and can start mid-season with no gap in service.

    Operatives working on school, care and housing sites are DBS checked and carry photo ID on every visit.

    We photograph, map and report them, then quote a separate treatment or removal plan. They are excluded from cutting until treated so nothing spreads.

    Questions above cover grounds maintenance contracts. For how we identify species, price surveys, keep treatments safe and what the 10-year guarantee covers, read our approach to weed control or the full frequently asked questions.
