Tailored Contracts
Community Grounds Maintenance
Community grounds maintenance is the regular, scheduled upkeep of the shared outdoor spaces in a residential development, from communal lawns and borders to hedges, pathways, and parking areas. At Silver Tree Services, we look after these grounds for residents’ associations, property management companies, and residential estates across Gloucestershire and surrounding areas, keeping shared spaces tidy, safe, and welcoming without the residents or committee having to chase anyone. Because we also offer tree surgery and landscaping, everything outdoors can sit with one trusted contractor.
Who we look after
We maintain communal grounds for:
- Residents' associations and management committees
- Property and block management companies
- Apartment blocks and flat developments
- Retirement and sheltered housing communities
- Gated communities and private residential estates
- Housing developments with shared green space
If you’re responsible for grounds that more than one household shares, this is the service for you.
What's included
Every contract is built around your site, but a typical community grounds maintenance schedule covers:
- Grass cutting and edging of communal lawns and verges, kept to a regular cut height through the growing season
- Hedge and shrub care, including trimming, shaping, and seasonal pruning
- Weed control to paths, beds, car parks, and hard surfaces
- Border and bed upkeep, including planting, mulching, and tidying
- Leaf clearance and seasonal tidying through autumn and winter
- Pathway, edge, and hard-surface cleaning to keep shared routes safe and clear
- Tree and green-space care, with our in-house tree surgery team on hand for anything from a quick prune to a larger job
- Litter and bin-area tidying where it's part of the shared space
Anything that needs specialist work, such as larger tree jobs, stump grinding, or a new landscaping scheme, we can fold into the same arrangement rather than you sourcing a separate firm.
How our contracts work
We keep it simple and predictable. After a free site visit, we set out a schedule that suits your grounds and budget, whether that’s fortnightly, monthly, or seasonal, and give you a clear written quote. From there you get a regular team who know your site, a single point of contact, and visits that happen when they’re meant to. We can flex the schedule up in the busy growing months and ease it back over winter, so you’re paying for the care your grounds actually need across the year.

Good Questions
What is community grounds maintenance?
Community grounds maintenance is the regular, scheduled upkeep of the shared outdoor areas in a residential development, such as communal lawns, borders, hedges, pathways, and parking areas. It covers everything needed to keep shared spaces tidy, safe, and welcoming, from grass cutting and weed control to seasonal planting and leaf clearance. Silver Tree Services provides this as a tailored contract for residential communities across Gloucestershire and surrounding areas, so the grounds are looked after without residents or the committee having to manage it day to day.
Do you work with residents' associations and property management companies?
Yes. Silver Tree Services works directly with residents’ associations, management committees, block and property management companies, and the managing agents of residential estates. We’re used to working to a budget and reporting to a committee or agent, with a single point of contact and clear written quotes, so whoever is responsible for the grounds always knows what’s being done and when. We cover developments of all sizes across Gloucestershire and surrounding areas.
How often will you visit?
As often as your grounds need, set out in your contract. Most communal grounds are maintained on a fortnightly or monthly schedule through the growing season, easing back over the winter months, though we can tailor the frequency to your site and budget. Silver Tree Services gives you a regular team who get to know your grounds, and visits that happen on schedule, so the upkeep stays consistent rather than reactive.
Can one contract cover grass, hedges, and trees?
Yes, and that’s one of the main reasons clients choose us. Because Silver Tree Services is a grounds maintenance, tree surgery, and landscaping company in one, a single contract can cover routine grounds care, hedge work, and tree maintenance, with our NPTC-qualified arborists on hand for anything from a prune to a large removal. That means one accountable contractor for the whole site rather than juggling separate firms for grass, hedges, and trees.
Are you insured and certified?
Yes. Silver Tree Services holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification, is an Arboricultural Association ARB Approved Contractor, and carries full public liability and employers’ liability insurance. Our team holds the relevant NPTC qualifications, and we provide method statements and risk assessments as standard, which matters on shared residential sites where the public and residents are nearby. Certificates and documentation are available on request.
How much does communal grounds maintenance cost?
Communal grounds maintenance is priced per site, because cost depends on the size of the grounds, what the contract includes, and how often we visit. Most residential communities are on a regular contract billed monthly, which spreads the cost evenly across the year. Silver Tree Services provides a clear written quote after a free, no-obligation site visit across Gloucestershire and surrounding areas.
