What a grounds visit around Hertford actually includes

The maintenance list for homes, offices, hotels, schools and housing: lawns, hedges, beds, jet washing and the one-off clearance.

A garden border kept as part of a regular round.

Estate maintenance on this site is a round, not a one-day tidy dressed up as a contract. It covers houses and it also covers communal gardens, hotels, offices, schools, colleges and housing associations around Hertford, Ware, Bengeo and Welwyn Garden City.

On a normal visit

The published list is ordinary on purpose.

  • Weeds on borders and on paving, by hand or with a treatment
  • Lawn cutting, and aeration or scarifying when the grass needs it
  • Seasonal bedding, pruning and hedge trimming
  • Leaves, gutters and litter
  • Jet washing of paving, and painting fence panels
  • A one-off clearance when a site has been left

After a build, some gardens move onto a monthly visit. John Mason’s garden in St Albans is the published example: the construction finished, and the maintenance carried on.
