search terms and bid checks

Price a recurring maintenance round differently from a landscaping project. The site schedule and service frequencies tell you more about the workload than the contract title. This category also contains wider environmental and construction work, so read the scope of each example.

Grounds maintenance and grass cutting
Check mowing frequencies, grass collection, litter picking, edging and the travel between sites.
Landscape maintenance
Look for planting, shrub beds, weed control, watering and replacement obligations as well as grass cutting.
Tree work and arboriculture
Check surveys, emergency cover, specialist equipment, access and the qualifications requested for the work.
Landscaping works
Distinguish a one-off design or construction project from the maintenance period that follows it.

Before you commit time to a bid

  • Plot the sites and estimate productive time after travel and loading.
  • Read the seasonal schedule, weather provisions and required reporting.
  • Check which quantities are guaranteed and which are estimates before buying equipment for the contract.
