Body corporates, business parks, retail sites and schools across the New Zealand. A fixed annual programme with a defined scope, scheduled visits, one point of contact and no surprises on the invoice.
We’ll walk the site, scope it and come back with a programme and price.
Different sites have very different priorities — presentation, safety, access, trading hours. The programme gets built around yours, not around a standard template.
Common areas, entranceways, shared lawns and the strips between blocks. Consistent standard across the whole site, one invoice to the committee, and a scope document that ends the “whose job is that” conversation.
Committee reportingFrontages, carpark islands, boundary planting and the courtyard nobody quite owns. Scheduled early so the site looks finished before staff and visitors arrive.
Early startsCurb appeal is revenue here. Work timed around trading hours so there’s no mower running past your outdoor dining at midday, and carpark edges kept sharp year round.
Outside trading hoursSites with children on them need a different standard again. Work scheduled outside contact hours where possible, site-specific safety plan in place, and spray programmes timed and signposted properly.
SSSP & vettingFence lines, verges, bunding and the awkward margins around hardstand. Kept clear for access, sightlines and compliance rather than for looks — though it does that too.
Access & sightlinesSeveral properties under one agreement, on one schedule, consolidated into one monthly invoice with each site itemised. Facilities managers stop chasing five contractors.
Consolidated billingEvery contract starts with a written scope so both sides know exactly what’s in and what’s a variation. Below is the standard scope — yours gets built from it.
No lengthy tender process for most sites. From first call to first scheduled visit is usually a couple of weeks, and you’ll know the annual number before you commit to anything.
We walk the property with you, measure the turf and bed areas, note access constraints, trading hours and anything that needs special handling.
A written scope of works, a visit calendar for the year with frequency stepping up and back by season, and a fixed annual price broken into monthly instalments.
A site-specific safety plan covering the hazards on your property, plus whatever induction, sign-in or vetting your site requires before we start.
Same crew, same slot. A report after each visit covering what was done and anything we spotted, and a programme review with you each year.
Larger sites, council work and anything requiring formal prequalification will take longer to onboard — we’ll be upfront about the timeline at the site walk rather than promising a start date we can’t hold.
Most contracts start with a site that’s been under-serviced for a while. There’s usually a reset visit first, then the programme holds it. Drag the slider to see the difference.

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 you and your contractor are overlapping PCBUs, with a duty to consult, cooperate and coordinate. In practice that means paperwork — here’s what we bring to it.
Sites are too different for a price list, so we quote per property after walking it. What we can tell you is how the pricing is structured and what moves it.
All prices are quoted exclusive of GST, with GST added at the standard rate on your invoice. Green waste disposal is included in the programme figure. Work outside the agreed scope — storm damage, a tree failure, a new bed — is quoted and approved before it happens, never added to an invoice after the fact.
Most commercial grounds work is won on price and lost on consistency. We’d rather hold fewer sites and actually turn up to them.
They learn your site — where the irrigation runs, which gate sticks, which bed the committee cares about. That knowledge is worth more than a lower hourly rate from a rotating team.
You ring the person who scoped your site. No portal, no reference number, no waiting three days for a national office to allocate it to someone.
Most disputes on grounds contracts come from a vague scope. Ours specifies frequency, standards and what counts as a variation, so nobody is guessing in month seven.
Failing plants, blocked drainage, a limb over a carpark, sightlines closing in at an exit. Reported when it’s a maintenance item, not once it’s a capital cost or an incident.
Commercial grounds maintenance across Tauranga, Mount Maunganui, Pāpāmoa and the Western Bay. Sites spread across the region are routed together where we can, which keeps the cost down.
What facilities managers, body corporate committees and business owners ask us most.
It varies through the year rather than being fixed. Growth in the Bay of Plenty runs hard from Labour Weekend into autumn, so most commercial sites need weekly or fortnightly visits over summer, easing back to monthly through winter. The full year’s calendar is set out in your programme up front, and it’s all included in the annual price rather than billed as extras when growth picks up.
Programmes are written annually because that’s how the seasons and your budget work, but they’re not a trap. There’s a straightforward exit if we’re not delivering, and we’d rather you could leave than have you stuck with us and unhappy. Reviewing the scope each year is a normal part of it — sites change.
Yes, and for retail, hospitality and schools it’s usually the sensible answer. Early starts before a site opens are standard. Some constraints add cost because they reduce how efficiently we can route the day, so it’s worth raising at the site walk rather than after the price is set.
A site-specific safety plan for your property covering the hazards, controls, incident reporting and emergency arrangements, plus a current public liability certificate. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 we’re overlapping PCBUs with you, so we’ll also agree who notifies WorkSafe in the event of a notifiable event. Our crew completes whatever induction or sign-in process your site runs.
Bay of Plenty and Waikato councils generally require prequalification for high-risk or long-term work, usually through SHE or a Tōtika-aligned provider. Tell us what your organisation requires when you enquire and we’ll give you a straight answer about where we currently sit, rather than finding out three weeks into a procurement process.
Yes — weed control on kerbs, cracks, carpark edges and beds is part of most commercial programmes. Application is carried out under the Hazardous Substances Regulations 2017, with the product, rate, date and area recorded, and treated areas signposted. On school and childcare sites we schedule it outside contact hours and give you notice beforehand.
Ring us and we’ll get there. Anything creating an immediate hazard — a limb across a carpark, debris blocking an exit — gets made safe first and quoted after. Larger remediation is quoted and approved before we do it. Storm work sits outside the programme scope, so it doesn’t quietly consume visits you’ve already paid for.
Yes, and it’s where we’re genuinely better value. Travel and administration get charged once rather than per property, and routing sites together on the same day takes real cost out. You get one agreement, one schedule and one monthly invoice with each site itemised separately for your own on-charging.
They come to you, and you send them to us — we don’t want your residents ringing us directly and we don’t want you fielding questions about mowing heights. Anything raised gets addressed on the next visit or sooner if it’s a safety matter, and you get a written note back so you can close the loop with whoever raised it.
Prices are quoted exclusive of GST, with GST added at the standard rate on your invoice. Green waste disposal is included in the programme figure. The annual total is split into equal monthly invoices, and variations are quoted separately and only proceed once you’ve approved them.
These can sit inside the annual scope or be quoted as one-off works on the same account.
Free site assessment, a written scope of works, and a fixed annual figure you can take to your budget or your committee.
