Gardening

Our dedicated  gardening team looks after all communal green areas of our estates.

They cut over 380,000 square metres of lawns and maintain over 60,000 square metres of flower beds. Our gardening team works on a scheduled programme visiting every area several times per year.

They perform maintenance tasks according to the season and specific requirements of each site. 

Gardening responsibilities

Grass maintenance

We cut grass from March to October, with schedules adjusted for periods of extreme weather.

 

Grass clippings are left on the lawns to reduce waste and return nutrients to the soil, while verges are cleaned up after every cut.

 

Our team also trims around flower bulbs and removes bulb foliage once it has faded. Leaf clearing, edging and reseeding are done as needed to keep our estates looking their best.

Shrub and rose maintenance

We take care of shrubs and roses with regular pruning and shaping in both summer and winter. This ensures safety while keeping everything in line with good horticultural practices.

Winter tasks

  • Pruning shrubs and roses
  • Cultivating flower beds
  • Weeding and edging flower beds
  • Removing dead or diseased plants
  • Clearing unwanted growth around tree trunks
  • Gapping up existing beds and new planting

Summer tasks

  • Deadheading roses
  • Light trimming of hedges
  • Spot weeding and weed-killing
  • Removing damaged or diseased plants

Bulb planting

We plant thousands of spring-flowering bulbs such as daffodils and crocuses across our estates. These colourful blooms help boost biodiversity and provide early nectar for insects.

Wildflower meadows

To further support local wildlife, we create wildflower areas across our estates. These meadows offer vibrant colours throughout the growing season and provide a vital habitat for bees, butterflies, and other creatures.

Japanese knotweed

We take the risk of Japanese knotweed infestation seriously and treat it from March to October using the latest methods. This invasive plant can damage property and natural ecosystems, so controlling it is essential.
