First impressions count

Your gardens and lawns are the first thing clients and tenants see

A commercial property's outdoor areas set the tone before anyone walks through the door. Overgrown frontages, tired beds and uneven lawns read as neglect; sharp, consistent presentation reads as a business that has its act together. Kanga keeps commercial sites looking the part, on a schedule you can rely on.

You get a fixed monthly fee, a schedule that fits around your operating hours, green-waste removal included, and the same operator every visit. No rotating crews, no surprise invoices. Just consistent, professional presentation and a direct line to the person doing the work.

In short. Kanga Gardening provides commercial garden maintenance, also called commercial grounds maintenance or commercial landscape maintenance, for offices, retail sites and business parks across Melbourne's south-east and the Mornington Peninsula. One owner-operator, a commercial gardener rather than a rotating crew, handles the commercial lawn mowing, edging, hedging, garden beds, weed control and green waste removal, usually fortnightly through the growing season and every three to four weeks through winter, on one fixed monthly fee. The business is insured to $20M, and quote requests usually get a reply the same business day.

What's included

Consistent presentation, scheduled to suit you

Recurring maintenance scoped to your site, not one-off call-outs.

A striped commercial lawn frontage after a scheduled cut, Chelsea Heights — Frontage stripes, Chelsea Heights

Mowing & edging

Frontages, surrounds and shared lawns mown and edged for a crisp, professional finish.

Hedging & pruning

Screening hedges, shrubs and garden structure kept neat and in shape between visits.

Garden beds & weed control

Beds, entrances and car-park surrounds weeded and tidied so the whole site presents well.

Green-waste removal

All clippings and prunings are removed every visit and included, with no separate charges.

Seasonal fertilising

Lawns and beds fed on a seasonal program, with the product matched to the species and the time of year instead of one bag spread over the whole site.

Pest & disease management

Scale, borers, mites and fungal problems picked up early on an integrated pest management basis, an approach backed by our Sustainable Gardening Australia Green Gardening Professionals membership. Identify first, use the lightest effective treatment, and spray only where it is warranted.

Irrigation checking

An existing system is checked and adjusted through the season, so heads are running, zones are not blocked and the timer suits the weather. Design, installation and repairs sit outside the program and are referred on to an irrigation contractor.

How it works

From first call to a maintained site in four steps

Free walkthrough of the frontage

I walk the frontage, car park and surrounds with you, look at loading zones and gate access, and note the parts of the site a customer or tenant sees first.

Fixed quote

You get a written quote with a clear scope and schedule. A set fee, no call-out charges.

Maintenance around your hours

The same operator services the site on schedule, fortnightly as standard, with three-weekly or monthly where the site suits it, timed so the mowers are not running through your busiest part of the day.

Seasonal condition reports

A written record of site condition and anything worth flagging, at the frequency agreed for your site.

Tenant & occupant liaison

The contractor that sells you a quieter inbox

Tenants and staff are on the site every day, so they notice the grounds before you do. Kanga gives them a person to tell, and gives you the record of it.

A contact card for every tenancy

At the start of service each tenant and occupant gets a card with the work mobile of the person who actually maintains the grounds. Not an email address, not a national call line.

Answered on the spot

Day-to-day questions get a straight answer when they are asked, or they get handled at the next scheduled visit. Special requests are accommodated where practical.

Written up for the owner

Anything that needs a decision or an approval comes back to you, and the seasonal condition report records what was raised and what was done.

The difference shows up in your week rather than on the lawn. Fewer tenant emails to forward on, fewer complaint calls to return, and less chasing a contractor to confirm a job was done. Tenants get a person instead of a process, which is usually all they were after in the first place.

It carries further than that. A landlord who stops hearing about the grounds is a landlord who renews, and a management firm with fewer property complaints on its desk holds its clients longer and gives its staff easier days.

Every other contractor quoting your site is selling a tidy lawn and a sharp price. None of them is selling you a quieter inbox.

Who we work with

Commercial garden maintenance for every kind of site

Kanga maintains commercial sites of most shapes across south-east Melbourne: fuel stations and service centres, retail strips and shopping centre surrounds, childcare centres, medical suites, offices and showrooms, and the entrances and reserves of housing estates. The scope shifts with the site, but the standard and the operator do not.

Commercial garden maintenance covers the beds and borders as well as the turf. That means hedges kept to a species correct trimming schedule, pruning and plant health, weed control, mulching, seasonal tidy ups and irrigation monitoring, checking heads and run times as part of the regular visit rather than waiting for brown patches to announce a fault. Commercial lawn mowing runs on the same scheduled basis, with ride on mowing where larger lawns and estate commons justify it, and commercial landscape maintenance keeps established landscaped areas performing as designed. Aged care facilities and retirement villages have a dedicated program. One contractor covers the whole site instead of two trades splitting it.

Commercial garden maintenance is not commercial landscaping. Maintenance is the recurring care of a site that is already built: mowing, edging, weed control, hedging and pruning, garden bed care and green waste removal on a set schedule. Landscaping is the design and construction of new outdoor areas, such as paving, retaining walls and new plantings, usually as a one-off project. Kanga Gardening takes over commercial sites once they are built or handed over and keeps them presentable, and it does not do landscape construction.

Common questions

Commercial garden maintenance - common questions

Do you provide commercial garden maintenance as well as lawn mowing?

Yes. Programs cover garden beds, hedge trimming, pruning, weed control, mulching and irrigation monitoring alongside mowing and edging, so the whole site is maintained under one fixed fee by the same operator.

What does commercial garden maintenance include?

Mowing and edging, hedging and pruning, garden-bed maintenance and weed control, and green-waste removal, all under one fixed monthly fee, scheduled to suit your site.

Can you work outside business hours to avoid disruption?

Scheduling is set to suit the property, including quieter times where access and noise matter. Let us know your constraints at the site walkthrough.

How is commercial garden maintenance priced?

After a free site walkthrough you receive a fixed monthly quote based on the site's size, access and frequency, with no call-out charges and green-waste included. If you want indicative numbers first, our guide to what body corporate gardening costs in Melbourne sets out the ranges and what moves them, and the same drivers apply on commercial sites.

Are you insured to work on commercial sites?

Yes. $20M public and products liability, fully insured and police-checked, with a Certificate of Currency available on request.

Do you take on one-off commercial clean-ups?

Kanga focuses on recurring maintenance rather than one-off jobs, which is what keeps a site consistently presentable. Get in touch and we'll talk through what your site needs.

Who do tenants contact if they have a question about the grounds?

The person doing the work. At the start of service every tenant gets a contact card with the owner-operator's work mobile on it, not an email address and not a national call line. Day-to-day questions are answered on the spot or handled at the next scheduled visit, and special requests are accommodated where practical. Anything that needs a decision or an approval comes to you as the manager or owner, and the seasonal condition report records what was raised and what was done.

What a fixed-fee quote includes

One fee, the whole site, nothing left to argue about

A site schedule of the lawns, beds, hedges and access, the scope line by line, the frequency set by season, green waste and routine products included, irrigation checked on the visit, a seasonal condition report for your file, and the certificate of currency and police check on request.
