School grounds maintenance
Proper school ground maintenance can help your institution stand out in the crowded field of education.

Our professional school grounds maintenance can provide a look for every part of the calendar, with seasonal floral displays developed with our decades of experience.

And speaking of sport, give kids the chance to live their athletic dreams safely with well-manicured pitches and playing surfaces.
Proper landscape management can help parents envision their young learners growing into young men and women in a welcoming natural environment. From big-picture projects like irrigation and water management down to our continual weed and pest management and everything else, we’ve got everything covered so you don’t have to.
University and campus grounds maintenance
An attractive campus full of shared outdoor spaces and recreational facilities is key if you want to attract the best and brightest minds in the country. With students and their parents visiting multiple unis in their search for higher learning, you want your campus to look its best at all times. Regular maintenance can help it do exactly that.
For more major changes, we can work hand-in-hand with some of the best landscape architects to breathe fresh life into your grounds with bright beds and develop entirely new green, shared spaces in which students can see themselves reading between class, grabbing a bite with mates, meeting to discuss a group project or throwing a frisbee. And with club sports a key part of the uni lifestyle and culture for many, our sports turf management can ensure you have the facilities to host matches for years to come.
Our commitment and expertise in landscape maintenance matches your dedication to delivering a quality education. And we understand finding funding can be a constant battle. Our purchasing power and coverage of worker safety and public liability minimises your costs, making projects more affordable – and more valuable. Let us take care of landscape maintenance to free up your team to tackle other projects around the grounds.

Sports turf maintenance for schools and unis
Keeping your pitches pristine can make all the difference for current students and prospective attendees you’ll try to attract in the future. Our sport turf maintenance can have your facilities ready for every pass, kick and tackle throughout the season – and might just help keep the twisted ankles, blown out knees and busted hips to a minimum.
With our mix of extensive knowledge, access to cutting-edge resources and years of experience, we can provide carpet-like natural, synthetic or hybrid turf that will make players from around the country look forward to lacing up their boots and getting into the action. Our flexibility lets us help you at every stage of your turf journey. From upgrading a single pitch to developing a multi-field, multi-sport facility, to ongoing maintenance throughout the year and off-season prep, we’re on top of it.
And we can cover much more than the surface itself. We’ve also got experience in drainage and irrigation, so you don’t have to sweat wet forecasts and the associated hassles of postponements and rescheduling. We can even help you with proper lighting, giving you the chance to offer up prime athletic venues that shine at night.
Education maintenance contract
Sick of budget blowouts? Say goodbye to them with our transparent, upfront costing method and fixed fees. You’ll know what you’re paying for and when, so you can keep any nasty surprises far from your ledger.
