Aged care & retirement living

Grounds residents are proud to walk through, kept safe to walk through

Aged care grounds maintenance is presentation work with a duty of care attached. Families judge a facility from the front garden before they reach reception, and residents use the grounds every day, some of them unsteadily. Kanga keeps aged care facilities and retirement villages across south-east Melbourne presentable on a fixed monthly fee, with a police checked owner-operator who schedules the noisy work around the life of the home.

What's included

One program for lawns, gardens, hedges and everything between

Recurring aged care gardening services scoped to the site, not one-off call-outs.

Aged care mowing and edging on a schedule built around rest periods and dining times. Garden bed maintenance, weed control and mulching so beds frame the buildings instead of apologising for them. Hedge and shrub trimming to a species appropriate schedule, seasonal pruning, and green waste removed the same visit so paths and ramps are never left obstructed. Along the way, the things a contractor notices before an audit does: lifting pavers, irrigation faults, branches over walkways, and beds that need replanting before winter makes it obvious.

Retirement village garden maintenance runs the same way across larger sites: village greens, unit frontages on common title, community centre surrounds and the entrance that sets the tone for every family visit.

Working around residents

Scheduled for the rhythm of the home

Machines go quiet when residents pass close by. Mowing and blowing happen in the windows the facility prefers, and hand work fills the hours machines should not. The same operator attends every visit, so staff know the face in the garden and residents are never surprised by a stranger with a machine. Anything that could put a resident on the ground, a hose across a path, clippings on a ramp, a gate left open, is treated as the first priority of the visit rather than an afterthought.

Compliance & care

The paperwork a facility manager needs on file

$20M public and products liability with a certificate of currency available for your records. Police check and Working with Children Check held. White Card for sites that require induction. Safe work practice around residents, visitors and vehicles, documented simply enough to sit in the facility's contractor file without a follow-up email. Established 2020, owner-operated, and references from commercial and body corporate clients available on request.

Common questions

Aged care grounds maintenance - common questions

Do you provide grounds maintenance for aged care facilities?
Yes. Kanga maintains grounds for commercial and community sites across south-east Melbourne and is set up for aged care and retirement environments: police checked, fully insured with $20M public liability, and able to schedule noisy work away from rest periods and dining times.
How do you work safely around residents?
Paths and driveways are never left with clippings or hoses across them, equipment is shut down when residents pass close by, gates and access are left exactly as found, and trip hazards noticed during a visit are reported to the facility manager the same day.
Can mowing be scheduled around quiet times?
Yes. The schedule is built with the facility: mowing and blowing in the windows the home prefers, quieter hand work when machines are not appropriate, and the same pattern every visit so staff and residents know what to expect.
What does a program for a retirement village include?
Lawns and edges, garden beds and weed control, hedge and shrub trimming, seasonal pruning, green waste removal, and reporting of anything that needs attention, from irrigation faults to lifting paths. One fixed monthly fee, one operator, no call out charges.
Are you insured and police checked?
Yes. $20M public and products liability with a certificate of currency available for the facility's records, police check and Working with Children Check held, and White Card for any site that requires it.
