Grounds maintenance, May to October
The same site,
the other six months.
Turf, beds, litter and irrigation on a fixed weekly day, from the same crew that cleared your lot in February — with the same service log and the same photo record.
What we cover
Turf maintenance
Mowing, trimming and edging on a fixed weekly day so your tenants and your board know when the crew is on site.
Beds, shrubs and tree wells
Weeding, edging and shrub trimming through the season, with mulch refresh quoted separately.
Litter and grounds sweep
Parking lot, entrances and landscape areas policed on every visit. The thing tenants complain about first.
Turf health programme
Fertilizer on a scheduled plan, core aeration, overseeding and repair of winter plow damage along lot edges.
Irrigation
Spring start-up, mid-season checks and fall blowout, with leak and head repairs billed on time and materials.
Seasonal colour and entrances
Planters and entrance beds turned over for the season where the property wants them.
How grounds contracts are structured
Quoted per site after a walk, the same as winter.
| Structure | How it bills | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Seasonal fixed | One price for May through October covering a defined scope and visit count, billed in six equal payments. | Best for boards and managers who need a single line in the operating budget. |
| Per visit | Billed per service visit against an agreed scope, with enhancements quoted as they come up. | Best for sites with irregular needs or a season of data still to gather. |
| Year-round | Snow and grounds under one contract, one invoice and one contact, with a single rate held for both seasons. | Best where the same person is currently managing two vendors and two sets of paperwork. |
Both seasons, one contract
Stop managing two vendors for the same piece of land
Most managed properties in Calgary run a snow contractor and a landscaper who have never spoken to each other — which is how you end up with plow damage along the lot edge in April that nobody will own. One contract means one crew, one invoice, one call, and nobody to point at anyone else when something goes wrong in the shoulder season.
Sites contracted for both seasons are held at one rate across the full twelve months and are quoted before we open either route to new work.
