We maintain the common-area grounds of strata complexes across Brendale and Moreton Bay: lawns, gardens, hedges, entry and streetscape planting, pool surrounds, paths and driveways. We work to an agreed scope of works and a regular schedule, so the committee and residents know what's being done and when.
Our clients are body corporate committees, strata managers and on-site managers of townhouse and unit complexes. You'll have one point of contact, quotes and invoices in the format your body corporate manager needs, and a crew that turns up on the same day each cycle.
What our strata grounds maintenance service includes
We tailor the scope to each complex. A typical strata grounds contract covers:
Common-area lawns
Mowing, edging and whipper-snipping of all common lawns, verges and nature strips.
Gardens and planting
Weeding, pruning, mulching and feeding of common garden beds and planter boxes.
Entry and streetscape
Keeping the front entry, signage area and street frontage presentable, since it's what buyers and visitors see first.
Hedges and screens
Trimming boundary screens and hedges between units and along fences.
Pool and BBQ surrounds
Tidying lawns and gardens around pools, BBQ areas and recreation spaces.
Paths, driveways and car parks
Weed control in paths and pavers, and blowing down internal roads and visitor parking.
Bin enclosures
Keeping growth and leaf litter around bin areas under control.
Visit reports
A short report or photos after visits, noting any issues like damaged irrigation or dead plants.
Signs your complex needs a new grounds contractor
Committees often contact us when:
- Residents are complaining about long grass, weeds or overgrown gardens
- Visits are irregular and nobody's sure what's included in the contract
- The entry and street frontage look tired compared with neighbouring complexes
- Gardens have been cut back so hard they've gone bare, or not pruned at all
- Weeds are spreading through driveways, car parks and paths
- The complex is growing and the current arrangement isn't keeping up
Strata grounds in Moreton Bay
Moreton Bay has a large and growing number of strata schemes, especially the townhouse complexes built through North Lakes, Mango Hill, Kallangur, Murrumba Downs and Griffin over the last twenty years, and older unit blocks around Strathpine and Lawnton. Many of these complexes have narrow garden strips, small courtyards and lots of edges, which take more trimming time than open lawns.
In Queensland, common property is the body corporate's responsibility under the Body Corporate and Community Management Act, and grounds contracts are usually approved by the committee. Some schemes have a caretaking agreement with an on-site manager that covers some grounds work. We can work alongside an on-site manager, or quote the whole scope as a separate contractor.
Summer growth is the big challenge. A schedule that works in winter often falls behind in December and January, so we set visit frequency by season, with more visits in the warmer months and fewer in winter, all agreed in the scope up front.
How the job works
Site inspection
We walk the complex with the committee member or manager and note every area in scope.
Scope of works
A written scope listing each task and frequency, so everyone knows what's included.
Quote
A clear price per visit or per month, in the format your body corporate manager needs.
Scheduled visits
The same visit day each cycle, with access arrangements agreed in advance.
Reporting
Visit reports or photos, and a single contact for residents' questions.
What affects the price
Strata grounds maintenance is quoted from a written scope of works. The main things that affect the price are:
Size of the common areas
Total lawn and garden area, and the number of separate areas.
Edges and garden strips
Narrow strips and many edges take longer to trim than open lawns.
Visit frequency
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly, varying by season.
Extra tasks
Hedges, weed control, mulching and seasonal work included in the scope.
Green waste
Whether green waste goes into the complex's bins or is removed from site.
We'll quote each item separately so the committee can compare it with the current contract.

Strata Grounds Maintenance FAQs
Do you work directly with strata managers?
Yes. We can quote, schedule and invoice through your strata or body corporate manager in whatever format they need.
Can you visit on a set day?
Yes. Strata sites usually suit a fixed day and frequency so residents know when to expect us. We agree the schedule up front.
What details can you provide for our records?
We can provide our business details, a written scope of works and [CONFIRM: insurance certificate of currency and any licences, as held]. Ask when you request a quote.
Do you maintain private courtyards?
Private courtyards are usually the owner's responsibility, not the body corporate's. We can quote owners separately if they'd like theirs done on the same visit.
Can you work alongside our on-site manager?
Yes. Some complexes have us handle the bigger or seasonal tasks, while the on-site manager handles day-to-day tidying.
How do residents raise problems?
Through your committee or strata manager, who contacts us directly. We respond to issues and note them in the next visit report.
Do you do one-off work for strata, like a garden refresh?
Yes. We regularly quote one-off jobs like soft landscaping, lawn restoration and hedge renovations for committees.
Can you quote from a tender document?
Yes. If your manager has a scope or tender document, send it through and we'll quote against it.
