Partnerships – Grounds maintenance for property managers

Partnerships

Gardening North London partners with property professionals across London to deliver reliable, smart and safe Gardening & Grounds Maintenance at scale. Our partnerships give block managers, landlords, letting agents and commercial clients a consistent standard of care, clear communication and predictable scheduling. If you manage multiple sites or need regular maintenance contracts, we can tailor a programme that aligns with your goals and budget.

Who We Partner With

  • Block managers and landlords
  • Letting agents handling managed portfolios
  • Commercial clients with multi-site grounds
  • Facilities management teams
  • Housing associations and resident management companies
  • Schools, colleges and community organisations

Whether it’s routine grounds maintenance for blocks, seasonal tidy-ups between tenancies, or one-off improvement works, we provide a straightforward service backed by on-site compliance and paperwork.

Partnership Options

Regular Maintenance Contracts

We design flexible, outcome-focused programmes to keep outdoor spaces presentable and safe year-round. Visits can be weekly, fortnightly or monthly depending on site needs. Typical scopes include:

  • Lawn mowing, edging and seasonal lawn care
  • Hedge trimming, shrub pruning and bed maintenance
  • Weed control for paths, car parks and hard surfaces
  • Litter picking and green waste removal
  • Seasonal tidy-ups and storm debris clearance

Each contract includes a clear schedule, agreed specifications and reporting so stakeholders know what’s been completed.

Preferred Supplier Arrangements

Streamline procurement with a single, trusted contractor. Our preferred supplier arrangements support:

  • Consistent standards across multiple properties
  • Consolidated invoicing and point-of-contact
  • Coordinated scheduling to reduce disruption
  • Alignment with your internal policies and service level agreements

Reactive and One-Off Works

For ad hoc needs, we can deploy teams for:

  • Overgrown garden clearance or end-of-tenancy resets
  • Ivy removal and shrub/hedge reduction
  • Pressure washing of communal areas, decking and driveways
  • Gutter cleaning and storm debris clearance

Availability is subject to scheduling, and we’ll advise the soonest suitable slot.

How We Work With Property Professionals

Clear Scope, Clear Outcomes

We start by agreeing a site-specific brief and measurable outcomes. If helpful, we’ll recommend an initial remedial visit to bring standards up, followed by a maintenance schedule to keep them there.

Site Surveys and Photos

For accurate proposals we often request a short site visit or current photos. This helps us confirm access, parking and risk considerations, and tailor the maintenance plan accordingly. You can request a no-obligation proposal via our Get a quote page.

Service Level Agreements

Where required, we work to SLAs covering attendance windows, communication protocols, health & safety documentation and workmanship standards. We aim for practical, achievable targets that reflect the realities of weather and site access.

On-Site Compliance and Paperwork

We provide the documentation you expect for multi-occupancy and commercial sites, including:

  • Risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) for planned works
  • Proof of insurance on request
  • Site attendance records and work completion notes
  • Waste transfer notes for green waste where applicable

Working With Block Managers and Landlords

We understand the pressures of communal management—balancing resident satisfaction, safety, and budgets. Our approach:

  • Site-by-site maintenance plans with clear visit frequencies
  • Regular visual checks for hazards we can address within scope
  • Prompt escalation of issues outside scope with photos and recommendations
  • Optional seasonal reviews to rebalance tasks as the site matures

For grounds maintenance for blocks, we can align visit schedules to resident quiet hours where feasible and coordinate with cleaners and contractors to reduce disruption.

Support for Letting Agents

Void periods and move-ins need fast turnaround. We offer:

  • End-of-tenancy garden resets to listing-ready standard
  • Quick quotes from photos for typical tidy-ups
  • Flexible scheduling subject to availability, with concise completion notes

Where a property moves to managed status, we can transition into a regular maintenance contract to keep kerb appeal high.

Commercial Clients and FM Teams

For commercial sites, external presentation and safety are critical. Our services can include:

  • Planned maintenance with defined scopes per zone
  • Litter picking, leaf clearance and slip-risk reduction
  • Hard surface cleaning through scheduled pressure washing
  • Planting schemes to enhance entrances and visitor routes
  • Coordination around peak trading hours to minimise disruption

We can work within your service level agreements and provide monthly summary reporting where requested.

Pricing and Contract Structures

  • Transparent proposals: itemised tasks, visit frequency, and any seasonal variations
  • Fair adjustments: we recommend an initial remedial visit where needed to set a proper baseline
  • Scalable options: single-site through to portfolio-wide coverage
  • Bulk booking discounts: available for multi-site or multi-visit schedules within the same period

For a tailored proposal, see our Pricing guidance and submit details via Get a quote.

Communication and Reporting

  • Primary point of contact for booking and updates
  • Email summaries after scheduled visits on request
  • Photo records for key tasks where useful (e.g., hedge reductions, clearance)
  • Rapid escalation of access issues, safety concerns or weather delays with proposed next steps

We’re committed to keeping you informed so you can keep your stakeholders informed.

Health, Safety and Insurance

We operate with a practical, safety-first mindset. Typical measures include:

  • Site-specific RAMS for planned tasks
  • Use of appropriate PPE and maintained equipment
  • Safe working distances and resident-aware practices
  • Responsible handling and disposal of green waste

For confidence and compliance, you can review our cover on the Insurance page or contact us for documentation.

Getting Started

  1. Share your sites and goals: number of properties, address list or postcodes, typical issues and your preferred visit frequency.
  2. Provide photos or book a short survey for each representative site.
  3. We’ll prepare a clear proposal with scope, visit plan, and any one-off remedial works if needed.
  4. Agree start date, site notes (access, parking, key collection) and escalation contacts.

Our process is designed to be simple and predictable. For a step-by-step overview, see How it works.

What We Need From You

To set up services smoothly:

  • Access instructions, keys or codes, and any site inductions
  • Parking guidance and restrictions
  • Preferred communication channel and invoicing details
  • Any existing site risks or constraints (e.g., nesting birds, fragile surfaces)
  • Seasonal priorities (e.g., leaf management or lawn improvement)

Quality Assurance

We take pride in neat, safe and consistent results. To maintain standards:

  • Supervisory checks on recurring contracts
  • Seasonal scope reviews to ensure best value
  • Feedback loop with swift remediation where issues are identified

We do not promise exact arrival times; instead, we schedule attendance windows and keep you updated if conditions change.

Sustainability and Waste

We aim to handle green waste responsibly and reduce unnecessary disposals through:

  • On-site mulching where appropriate
  • Segregated green waste removal and lawful disposal
  • Planting choices that reduce long-term maintenance demands

If you have sustainability targets, we’ll work within them and document the measures we take.

Coverage Across London

We serve clients across London and the wider N area. For larger portfolios, we can stagger visits by zone to optimise travel and reduce disruption. Learn more about our service radius on our Coverage page.
