Strata & Owners Corporations
Body Corporate & Strata Grounds Maintenance
Blue Hills holds body corporate, strata and owners corporation grounds maintenance contracts across Pakenham, Berwick, Narre Warren, Officer and the surrounding South-East Melbourne suburbs. Every contract includes a documented service schedule, the same crew each visit, public liability insurance and clear monthly invoicing — so committees and managers always know exactly what was done and when.
The Service
Common areas that never generate complaints.
Free on-site assessment, a fixed price in writing, and no obligation either way.
Get a Free QuoteGrounds maintenance is one of the most visible line items on an owners corporation budget, and it is the one residents notice the fastest when it slips. A missed fortnight on the entry lawn or a hedge left growing across a footpath generates emails to the committee within days.
Blue Hills is built around the parts of the job that actually matter to a committee or a strata manager: turning up on the agreed schedule, sending the same crew who already know the site, and providing a record of what was done so it can be reported at the next meeting without anyone having to chase.
We work across townhouse developments, apartment complexes, retirement villages and multi-building estates. Scope typically covers common area lawns, entry statements, garden beds, hedges and screens, path and car park edges, weed control and seasonal clean-ups — either as a single bundled contract or as a defined set of scheduled tasks.

What's Included
What a common area contract covers
Scope is defined up front and written down, so nobody is arguing later about whether something was in the contract.
Garden bed maintenance
Beds weeded, pruned and kept presentable, with mulch topped up as needed. Entry statement beds prioritised because they set the tone for the whole site.
Hedges and screens
Boundary screens, car park screening and internal hedges kept trimmed and clear of paths, signage, lighting and sightlines.
Weed control
Common area lawns, beds, car parks, kerbs and path joints treated on a scheduled basis rather than reactively after complaints.
Path and car park clearing
Edges cut back, surfaces blown down, and leaf and debris build-up cleared away from drains and entrances.
Seasonal clean-ups
Autumn leaf clearing, spring growth resets and pre-inspection tidy-ups scheduled into the annual program.
Working With Us
Set up once, then it just runs
The point of a grounds contract is that the committee stops having to manage it. Getting that right is mostly about how the contract is set up.
- 01
Site walk and scope
We walk the property with the manager or a committee representative, map the common areas, and identify what is in scope and what is lot-owner responsibility.
- 02
Written schedule and quote
You receive a documented service schedule — what is done, how often, and at what cost — in a format you can take straight to a committee meeting.
- 03
Consistent delivery
The same crew services your site on the agreed cycle. They learn the property, which means fewer instructions and fewer things missed.
- 04
Reporting and review
Visit records and monthly invoicing that reconcile against the schedule, plus a review point each year to adjust scope as the landscaping matures.
Contracts
Priced per site, documented in writing
Body corporate grounds maintenance is quoted per site after a walk-through. Pricing reflects total common area, planting density, the number of visits per year and any site-specific access constraints such as gated car parks or restricted service windows.
You receive the scope and cost in writing in a format suitable for a committee vote or a manager's recommendation. There are no variable hourly charges appearing on invoices — the schedule is agreed up front and the invoice matches it.
Where a site also has commercial tenancies or mixed use, see commercial property maintenance. We frequently hold both under one arrangement.

Answers
Body corporate questions
Do you work directly with strata managers or with committees?
Both. We work directly with strata and owners corporation managers, and we also deal directly with self-managed committees. Documentation is provided in a format that works either way — a written schedule, visit records and monthly invoicing that reconciles against it.
Are you insured to work on common property?
Yes. Public liability insurance is current on every site we service. A certificate of currency can be provided to your manager or committee on request as part of the onboarding process.
Can you provide a documented service schedule for our records?
Yes, and it is standard for every contract. You receive a written schedule setting out what is done, how often, and at what cost — suitable for presenting at a committee meeting, attaching to the maintenance plan or tabling at the AGM.
What size properties do you take on?
From small townhouse groups of six to eight dwellings up to multi-building estates and retirement villages. What matters more than unit count is total common area and how many visits per year the landscaping needs to stay presentable.
Will it be the same crew each visit?
Yes, wherever possible. A consistent crew learns your site — which beds get weed pressure, where the irrigation heads sit, which gate codes apply, which areas the residents care most about. That consistency is why fewer things get missed.
Can we bundle mowing, hedges and weed control into one contract?
Yes, and most sites do. Bundling mowing, garden bed maintenance, hedge trimming, weed control and seasonal clean-ups into one scheduled contract is both cheaper and easier to administer than engaging separate contractors for each task.
