One team, all year: hedges, grass, leaves, trees and gritting.

Block and flat grounds management in short

Clearcut manages the grounds of blocks of flats and managed developments across Dorset, Hampshire and south Wiltshire. One team covers everything outside: tree surgery and tree inspections, hedge cutting, grass and borders, autumn leaf clearance, and gritting paths and car parks in icy weather. You get one point of contact, a fixed schedule agreed with you, and documented work that stands up to residents' questions and insurers' checks.

Trees
Inspections, pruning, removals and TPO applications
Hedges and grass
Cut on a schedule through the growing season
Autumn
Leaves cleared from paths, car parks, gutters and drains
Winter
Gritting and salting of paths and car parks when ice is forecast
For
Managing agents, RMCs, RTM companies and housing associations

Everything outside, one contractor

Trees

Regular inspections, written reports and the work that follows: crown reductions over parking bays, deadwood out over paths, and removals with TPO and conservation area applications handled.

Hedges and boundaries

Boundary hedges and screening cut once or twice a year, at the right time and outside nesting season where possible, with all cuttings taken away.

Grass, borders and shrubs

Communal lawns, verges and shrub beds kept tidy on a regular schedule through the growing season.

Leaf clearance

Leaves blown and collected from paths, steps, car parks and bin stores through the autumn, so they don't become a slip hazard.

Gritting and salting

When ice is forecast, paths, entrances, steps and car parks are gritted, so residents and visitors can get in and out safely.

Storm response

Fallen trees and branches made safe and cleared, 24 hours a day, with a report for the insurer.

How we take your site on

  1. 1

    Site survey

    We walk the site with you, look at every tree and hedge, and note access, parking and residents' concerns.

  2. 2

    Schedule and price

    A clear schedule of visits through the year and a fixed price, so the service charge budget holds.

  3. 3

    Regular visits

    The same team on site, working around residents and keeping access open.

  4. 4

    Reports

    Photos and notes after visits, and written tree inspection reports to keep on file.

  5. 5

    One point of contact

    Questions, complaints and extra work all go through one person.

Why managing agents use us

Residents notice the grounds before anything else. We make sure they notice for the right reasons.

Most grounds contractors cut grass. Most tree surgeons don't do gritting. We do both, so you have one contractor, one schedule and one invoice for everything outside the building.

Our team holds NPTC, City & Guilds and Lantra qualifications and £5 million public liability insurance, and we provide risk assessments and method statements for every site.

Tree work on blocks often involves protected trees and conservation areas. We check every tree, make the applications, and keep the paperwork for your records.

Do you work with managing agents?
Yes. We work with managing agents, residents' management companies, RTM companies and housing associations, and can invoice the agent or the company directly.

Max came out on a very wet day and within 2 hours of initially calling him. Gave his expert advice and opinion, and although couldn’t do the job, due to the tree being on council highway, Max gave me the contact of the councils approved contractor to carry out a pollard. I wouldn’t hesitate in using Max for any future work at my property.
