Why this matters

Grounds Are Judged Every Single Day

For a council reserve, a land estate under development, a school or an industrial site, the grounds are on show constantly. Long grass on a verge, weeds through a car park or an estate entry gone to seed gets photographed, complained about and raised with whoever is responsible before the end of the week.

The common failure is not skill, it is reliability. Contractors who cannot hold a schedule through the growing season, cannot handle the steep or awkward sections, or cannot produce a certificate of currency when asked leave the site manager carrying the problem.

What we do

Scheduled, Documented and Done to Spec

Broadlands Contracting provides commercial mowing, slashing, hedging, weed spraying and general grounds maintenance across the Illawarra, Shoalhaven and Southern Highlands. Clients include developers maintaining estate open space and unsold lots, strata and community schemes, real estate agencies managing vacant land, and businesses with large or steep grounds that a lawn contractor cannot handle.

We run commercial out-front mowers, tractors with mulching decks and a ute-mounted spray unit, so flat lawns, steep batters, drainage reserves and overgrown land can all be handled by the same crew on the same visit. Work runs to an agreed scope and schedule, we are fully insured, and documentation is supplied for your prequalification before we start.

How we work with you

Clear Scope Before We Start

Commercial grounds work runs on scope and schedule, so both are agreed before the first visit.

  1. We scope against your site

    We walk the site with you, map the areas and the standard required, note access and hazards, and price from that rather than a drive-by estimate.

  2. We confirm program and paperwork

    Visit frequency, seasonal adjustments, reporting and the insurance and safety documentation you need are all settled before machines arrive.

  3. We maintain it and report back

    Each visit is completed to the agreed standard, and anything developing on site — weed outbreaks, erosion, damage — gets flagged to you early.

The cost of the wrong contractor

A Missed Visit Becomes Everyone’s Problem

Engaging a grounds contractor who cannot hold a schedule or a scope usually means:

  • Complaints and compliance notices landing on the site manager instead of the contractor
  • Steep and awkward sections left uncut because the contractor only brought a mower
  • Heavy catch-up cuts costing more than the scheduled visits that were skipped
  • Insurance and documentation gaps surfacing at exactly the wrong moment

Slashing

Paddocks, acreage and steep slopes cut with a mulching deck, so the grass is spread evenly and breaks down instead of sitting in windrows.

Chemical Spraying

Selective sprays for lantana, blackberry and wattle, plus bindii, clover and broadleaf control in lawns, applied by qualified operators.

Good Questions — Here's What to Know

Are you insured for commercial and council work?

Yes. We are fully insured and can provide certificates of currency and our documentation for your prequalification before we mobilise.

Can you take on a scheduled maintenance contract?

That is most of our commercial work. We agree a scope and a visit frequency that flexes with the growing season, and invoice against it. One-off catch-up work is welcome too.

Do you handle steep batters and drainage reserves as well as lawns?

Yes. Steep ground is where we started, and our tractors are set up for batters, dam walls and gullies that an out-front mower cannot safely work. Flat lawns, verges and slopes can be done by the same crew in the same visit.

Can you provide a fixed price for tender?

Yes, where the scope is defined well enough to price properly. Send through the site plan, areas and the standard required and we will come back with a fixed price and a schedule.

Do you look after vacant lots within an estate?

Yes. Developers and agents regularly have us maintain unsold lots alongside the estate open space so the whole release presents well to buyers.
