Newsletter Winter 2017

Welcome to 2017

May we take this opportunity to wish you a Happy New Year and after all the indulgence of the festive period we are ready to get stuck into the New Year.

Winter has arrived but we don’t stop!  This is a busy time as we prepare for the spring and summer months ahead.  During the winter season we take the opportunity to service all our equipment so when the grass starts growing we are prepared and ready to continue maintaining your grounds.

Just a few fun facts about us……

We have over 40 lawnmowers!  They comprise of ride on mowers, push mowers, 4 specialist mower machines to cover banks and rough areas, 5 compact tractors and 4 Valtra (130 horse power) tractors that use Trimax Pegasus 6 meter mowers to cut the fields. Over 20 strimmers, 4 mechanical salt spreaders and 8 hand propelled spreaders.

Our pitch marking team walk over 3,000 miles per year marking and over marking football pitches, rugby pitches, running tracks, rounder’s tracks etc.  They also use over 6,000 litres of pitch marking paint.

We travel around 360,000 miles a year.  All our vehicles have satellite tracking systems so we know where they are at any one time.  This also helps to plan cost effective and environmentally friendly traveling routes.

Winter Services

We haven’t had a bad start to the winter but as any good boy scout will tell you ‘be prepared’.

We offer a range of services: –

  • Rock Salt sales and free delivery
  • Path and Car Park Gritting service
  • Snow Clearing
  • Planned preventative or reactive service

Don’t struggle, give us a call.

Extra Services

As always we are trying to extend our services beyond Grounds Maintenance to become a ‘One Stop’ solution for all your facility management needs.  With our range of services we are able to offer free advice and be your first point of contact.

Just talk to us and we’ll help you achieve it.  If we can’t we probably know someone who can.

Skyvac

At the end of 2016, after numerous enquiries for a gutter and gully cleaning service, we purchased the Sky Vac Gutter Vacuum Cleaning System.

The Sky Vac sucks gutters clean using a powerful wet and dry vacuum system.  Using ultra-light carbon fibre poles means there is a no need for expensive scaffolding, ladders or high access equipment.  With the additional feature of an on board camera this gives precision cleaning up to 12m high.

We can offer a gutter or gully clean as a one off service or to make it more cost effective we recommend you add this service to your annual maintenance contract.  With 2 visits per annum this would help keep your gutters clean, free from leaves, moss and other debris.

Handyman Service

Need a helping hand with some odd jobs?

We are now able to offer a service to help with those little jobs that you never find time to complete.

We can fit blinds, curtain rails, shelving.  Rehang doors, pictures and flat packs.  All types of joinery work as well as general repairs, no job is too small for our time served joiner.
