Commercial grounds

Commercial work is generally larger in scope than residential work, but the aim is the same: to improve the environment and the quality of life around the places where people work, shop and play.

Most commercial clients want one number to call. That is what we are built for. Mowing, shrub beds, pruning, turf health, irrigation service, stormwater systems and snow response all come from the same company, on one schedule, with one account manager who knows the property.

Kept to a standard, not to a minimum

Mowing crews swap blades every other day and alternate the direction of the cut through the season, which keeps turf stress and compaction down and the finish consistent from the car park to the entrance. Bed crews are trained to spot weed and pest problems early, when they are still cheap to fix. Turf areas run on a six-round nutrient and weed programme timed to the Tennessee season, with core aeration and overseeding to help cool-season grass recover from summer.

Water, in both directions

On the supply side we design and install large-scale irrigation with SMART controllers, remote monitoring and continual adjustment against the weather, which can cut running costs by as much as 30 per cent. Four technicians work irrigation service calls alone, on site within 48 hours for most jobs and same day for emergencies. On the drainage side we build bio-retention systems, bioswales and rain gardens that slow run-off and filter it before it reaches the storm drain, in step with stormwater rules that keep moving.

And through the winter

Two trained snow removal teams stay on standby with plows and a deep inventory of ice melt, ready to respond at any hour and to work through the night so your surfaces are open in the morning.
