What commercial means here

One contractor, both seasons, one invoice.

Ride-on for the bigger ground

Grounds and snow

Most commercial properties in town run two contractors — one who cuts the grass from May and one who clears the lot from November — and each of them blames the other for the strip nobody owns. We do both. The summer work is mowing, trimming, bed edges and cleanups on a set schedule; the winter work is clearing the lot, the approaches and the walks on a trigger. Same crew, so by January we already know where the curb stops and what's under the snow.

How commercial work is run

Scheduled, insured, and quiet.

The point of hiring this out is that you stop hearing about it. Scheduled visits, insurance in place, and someone who tells you before you find out from a tenant.

  • On a schedule

    Summer visits on set days, winter clearing on a trigger depth. You're not phoning to arrange either one.

  • Insured on your site

    Liability coverage in place before anyone is on the property. Certificates on request.

  • Scoped per site

    Access, timing, where snow can be piled and who else uses the lot all change the job, so it's quoted per property rather than off a list.

When to move it

Four signs your current setup isn't working

Almost every commercial property we pick up came off one of these.

  1. You find out from a tenant, not the contractor

    If the first you hear about an unclear lot is a complaint, the contractor isn't doing the part you're actually paying for.

  2. The walk to the door is the last thing done

    Lots get cleared because they're easy to see. Walkways and entrances are where people fall, and they're the ones that get left.

  3. Nobody owns the awkward strip

    The boulevard, the strip behind the building, the bit between two properties. Split scopes leave gaps and gaps grow.

  4. Invoices don't match what was quoted

    Extras appearing on a monthly invoice usually means the original scope was too vague to hold anyone to.

Getting a site quote

We come and look at it.

This is the one part of the business that does not price off a form. Commercial ground varies too much for that.

Address, roughly what the property is, and what you want covered — grounds, snow, or both. If you have a current scope document, send that.

Access, gradients, where the snow can go, what the mowing actually involves, who else is using the space and when.

What's included, what isn't, on what schedule and at what cost. Specific enough that neither of us has to interpret it in February.

Set summer days, trigger-based winter clearing, and one number to call if something needs attention.

Commercial enquiries

Send the site, we'll scope it

Residential quotes go through the online form. Commercial goes through a person, because there's no version of this that a form prices correctly.
