When it comes to owning or managing a commercial property, maintaining the exterior is just as important as maintaining the interior. The first impression that potential clients or customers get when they visit your property is crucial. That’s why it’s important to keep your commercial property’s grounds looking neat and tidy. Here at KBL, we are an award-winning grounds maintenance and landscaping company that provides commercial gardening services for businesses that are second to none.

First impressions matter! Keeping a well-maintained grass space will create a lasting impression on your visitors, work colleagues and passers by.

We understand the importance of caring for a lawn and green spaces, all year round. Grass can easily get tired, worn out and infested with weeds if not cared for properly. It doesn’t take much, only a sustained period of warm weather mixed with some rainfall and grass can suddenly appear rough and out of control.

KBL's skilled operatives use top-tier commercial mowers and the latest grass maintenance equipment, including battery-powered machinery for a more sustainable approach. From small to large-scale projects, we pay meticulous attention to detail post-grass cutting, utilising trimmers and hand tools. For expansive grass areas like airfields, country parks, paddocks, and sports fields, our teams employ tractors equipped with high-capacity mowing decks, ensuring versatility in our mowing solutions. This allows us to maintain your grass spaces to the highest standards, regardless of their size, topography, or the presence of trees, shrubs, and unique features like water fountains, monuments, and statues.

Effective Hedge Management: Hedges demand regular maintenance to ensure safe access for pedestrians and vehicles, particularly in high-traffic areas. This is even more critical on thoroughfares where overgrown vegetation poses safety hazards and increases the risk of accidents.

Council Compliance: Local councils have the authority to levy fines on landowners who neglect their hedges. If you've received a vegetation order from your local council, rest assured. Acting promptly, we can help you avoid fines by swiftly taming your hedges while adhering to relevant hedge cutting regulations.

Experienced Professionals: Our seasoned team specialises in proactively maintaining green spaces, trimming overgrowth along roads, pathways, fields, and perimeter or boundary hedges. description

Enhancing Outdoor Spaces: The area surrounding a building is a valuable asset – a sanctuary for nature, a place for employees to unwind, and a hub for social interaction among visitors. This space also forms the initial impression that potential customers and staff hold about your organisation or estate, and its quality significantly shapes their perception. Our commitment is to ensure this impression is a positive one by delivering the same professional care to your outdoor spaces as we do to your buildings.

Dedicated Team: We meticulously select our staff to collaborate with you in realizing your vision for the ideal environment. Over the years, we've successfully managed and maintained a diverse range of landscapes.

KBL's skilled professionals offer specialist weed control services for a variety of settings, including industrial sites, commercial properties, and private residences.

In the case of commercial and industrial facilities, we prioritise the responsible use of chemical herbicides as the most efficient and cost-effective approach to weed control. By maintaining weed levels at a minimum, KBL ensures the safety of employees and minimises any potential damage to property and infrastructure.

Environments like car parks and fences often contend with weed growth, especially during the warmer seasons. We can effectively manage and maintain these areas, ensuring they remain free from weeds and maintain their pristine appearance. KBL provides both one-time weed treatments and annual plant control contracts to best accommodate your specific needs.

Invasive species present a substantial challenge for property owners and businesses with green spaces. KBL specialises in the removal of these perilous plants, mitigating the potential for injuries and costly property damage.

For property owners, the professional management of invasive plant species is paramount. Some, like giant hogweed, can cause severe skin irritation, posing a significant risk to human health. Others, such as Japanese knotweed, can jeopardise the structural integrity of pathways, walls, and roads.

Damage to paths and road surfaces can result in trip hazards and vehicle damage. Our expert team addresses invasive weeds efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations. KBL’s professionals are adept at treating and eradicating invasive plant species, safeguarding both people and property.

KBL offers expert leaf clearance and collection services.

Every autumn, deciduous trees and shrubs shed their leaves, and if not properly managed, fallen leaves can pose various issues for property owners and businesses. Leaves left on pathways can decompose, creating slip hazards. Dry leaves can accumulate in parking lots or alongside fences, making them unsightly and potentially hiding dangerous potholes or broken glass.

KBL’s leaf collection program not only enhances the appearance of these areas, leaving them clean and professional but also enhances safety by keeping pathways clear and ensuring that potential hazards aren't concealed by fallen leaves. As a standard practice, our teams also remove all litter, ensuring your property is in optimal condition.

KBL has extensive experience in leaf collection and clearance as part of our comprehensive ground maintenance programs. We offer both one-time services and ongoing contracts tailored to your specific needs. Our teams make site visits as necessary to ensure your property remains free from leaves, with increased frequency during the months of October and November.

Moss growth poses a safety concern for businesses and property owners, as it can create slippery surfaces.

Moss can flourish on paths, patios, and concrete areas, and in severe cases, render them completely unusable. It spreads easily, forming a dense layer of soft vegetation on various flat and vertical surfaces, including brickwork, tiles, concrete, and aggregate. This becomes particularly hazardous during wet weather, making paths and communal areas perilous to use.

While moss can be visually appealing in suitable settings, it can be an eyesore on commercial or private property. When it grows in unwanted locations, the plant's spores can make its removal a recurring challenge.

Our experts assess moss growth and apply the most effective methods to remove it from a wide range of surfaces and locations. If you're dealing with a moss issue and need it removed from your property, KBL is ready to assist.

Our one-time vegetation clearance services are designed to assist in the preparation of your green spaces, highways, nature reserves, and heritage sites for development or enhancement.

If you've acquired a parcel of land, you may encounter areas with excessive plant growth that pose a significant obstacle needing removal before development can progress. Overgrown trees, shrubs, weeds, and invasive species can clutter open spaces, hindering access for personnel and vehicles, causing delays and increasing costs for land developers. Invasive weeds, in particular, demand expert logistical management as they can spread across larger areas.

In addition to proficient site vegetation clearance, KBL's professionals offer supplementary services such as wood chipping, mulching, and stump grinding. These practices help keep material removal costs in check as the remains can be reintegrated into the topsoil. Our mulching equipment can effectively tackle challenging materials, including hawthorn and blackthorn. We also provide arboricultural management and tree surgery as needed, both in amenity and utility settings.
