Commercial landscaping in Canberra is about grounds that look cared for every day, are safe to walk through and do not turn into a recurring headache for whoever manages the property. ACT House & Landscaping Maintenance works on offices, shops, strata and body corporate common areas, and business and hospitality sites. We build new garden areas and hard features, and we look after grounds on an ongoing basis. This page is written for property managers, owners corporations, developers and business owners deciding who to engage.
Our commercial work so far includes landscaping for business complexes and hospitality venues. Each kind of property has different priorities, and we plan the work around them.
Entries, garden beds and lawns that present the business well to staff, clients and visitors.
Planters, paved edges and outdoor areas that need to look right during trading hours and stand up to heavy foot traffic.
Shared lawns, beds and paths used by many residents, where the standard has to suit everyone who lives there.
The landscaping that finishes a new building, from levelling and drainage to paving, turf and planting.
New works include paving and paths, retaining walls, garden beds, irrigation and outdoor lighting. Paths and lighting do more than tidy a site: they give people a clear, safe route across it after dark. Plant choice matters as well, and hardy native and water-efficient species keep beds looking full with less watering.
Once a site is built, grounds maintenance keeps it presentable: mowing and edging, pruning, weed control, mulching and seasonal clean-ups. Our pages on garden maintenance and commercial mowing describe that work in more detail.
In a units plan, the ACT Government explains that the owners corporation maintains the common property, and lists gardening of common property among the costs owners share through their levies. Owners corporations may also hire a strata manager to look after regular building maintenance and contracts.
On those sites, we ask at the outset whether the executive committee, the strata manager or a building manager signs off on work. Quotes and progress updates then reach the person who can act on them.
Commercial jobs happen around people who still need to get in and out. Our hours run from 8am to 8pm every day of the week, which leaves room to schedule noisy or disruptive work at quieter times. A dedicated project manager is the single contact for the property throughout, and the work area is cleaned up once the job is finished.
Our gallery has photos of finished residential and commercial landscaping across Canberra, so you can judge the standard before you engage anyone.
