Mango Hill has seen a lot of townhouse and unit development since the Redcliffe Peninsula rail line opened, particularly around Mango Hill and Mango Hill East stations. We maintain the common areas of these complexes for body corporates: shared lawns, garden beds, entries and internal driveways.
Newer complexes, younger gardens
Many Mango Hill complexes are relatively new, so their gardens and turf are still establishing. That brings its own problems: turf laid over compacted fill that thins out, weeds arriving in imported soil and mulch, and young plants that need shaping as they grow so they don't block paths and windows.
Getting the first few years right saves the body corporate money later. Regular weeding, feeding and formative pruning keeps a young garden on track, rather than paying for a big renovation in five years' time.
High-rental complexes
Many Mango Hill complexes have a high proportion of tenants, and presentation matters to owners who want to keep good tenants and rents. Tidy common areas also help at sale time. We work with committees and on-site managers to keep common areas consistent between visits.
- Set visit day agreed with the committee
- Written scope listing every area and task
- Seasonal frequency: more visits in summer, fewer in winter
- One contact for the strata manager and committee
Common problems in newer complexes
The same few problems come up in many newer Mango Hill complexes. Turf along driveways and in shared lawns thins out where it was laid over compacted fill. Nutgrass and other weeds arrive with imported soil and spread through lawns and beds. Screening plants grow quickly and start blocking paths, windows and air-conditioning units.
Each of these is cheaper to fix early. Aeration and feeding, a targeted weed program and regular formative pruning are usually built into the scope, so the complex doesn't need an expensive renovation a few years down the track.
