Facilities Management
Grounds Maintenance
External areas shape the first impression of a site and affect how safely it operates. Emprise maintains grounds, landscaping, yards and car parks through seasonal schedules covering grass and planting care, external cleaning, drainage clearance and winter preparation, with attendance planned around vehicle movements and site activity.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What does grounds maintenance include?
It includes grass cutting, planted and shrub area care, hedge work, weed control in hard landscaped areas, external cleaning of yards, footpaths and car parks, litter picking, and drainage and gully clearance. Schedules vary by season so attendance matches growth rates and weather conditions.
Can grounds work be carried out around HGV movements?
Yes. On logistics and distribution sites, external work is planned around vehicle movements, with agreed exclusion zones, banksman arrangements where needed and attendance timed to avoid peak loading periods.
Do you provide winter preparation?
Winter services such as gritting arrangements, drainage clearance and leaf clearance can be included. Scope, trigger points and coverage are agreed in advance so site teams know exactly what is provided and who authorises additional attendance.
How often are external areas attended?
Frequency depends on the site and the season — typically more often between spring and autumn for growth-related tasks, with reduced visits in winter focused on clearance and safety. Schedules are set per site and reviewed at contract meetings.
Can grounds maintenance be combined with cleaning?
Frequently, yes. Combining internal cleaning with external upkeep gives one supplier responsibility for site presentation, which reduces gaps between internal and external boundaries and simplifies escalation when an issue crosses both.
