Strata and Body Corporate Gardens in Melbourne
Scheduled care for shared lawns, hedges and garden beds, keeping common areas tidy for every resident all year.
In Victoria, the shared gardens of apartment blocks, townhouse developments and unit complexes are common property, looked after by the owners corporation (still often called the body corporate), usually through a strata manager. They're the first thing residents, visitors and prospective buyers see, and they need regular care to stay presentable.
We look after common-area gardens on a regular schedule agreed with the committee or manager: lawns, hedges, garden beds, paths and nature strips, plus seasonal work like pruning and leaf clean-ups. Visits are planned around residents, with access arranged in advance, and we keep paths and driveways clear while we work.
What's included
- Mowing, edging and whipper snipping common lawns and nature strips
- Hedge trimming along boundaries, driveways and entries
- Weeding and mulching shared garden beds
- Seasonal pruning and autumn leaf clean-ups
- Clearing garden debris from paths, entries and car park edges
- A regular weekly, fortnightly or monthly schedule
Planning a strata garden schedule
Most common-area gardens need a visit every two to four weeks through spring and summer, when lawns and hedges grow fastest, easing to monthly over winter. Larger sites with big lawns may need weekly mowing in late spring.
Seasonal jobs are worth building into the plan from the start: a main hedge trim in late spring, leaf clean-ups through autumn where there are deciduous trees, and winter pruning of roses and deciduous shrubs. Agreeing these up front makes the year's garden budget easier for the committee to plan.

Strata Garden Maintenance: your questions answered
Can you quote for our owners corporation?
Yes. We can look over the common property and prepare a quote for the committee or your strata manager, setting out what's included and how often we'll visit.
Do residents need to be home when you visit?
No. We only need access to the common areas, for example a gate code or key arranged with the manager. We work around residents and keep paths and driveways clear while we're on site.
Can nature strips and boundary hedges be included?
Yes. Nature strips, boundary hedges and entry gardens can all be part of the regular visit, so the whole frontage looks consistent from the street.
