Body corporate & strata gardening across south-east Melbourne
Fixed-fee common-area maintenance for owners corporations and strata complexes: mowing, hedging, beds and green-waste removal, with seasonal condition reporting and the same operator each time.
Common-area specialists
One contractor for the grounds, and one less thing to manage
Owners corporation committees and strata managers don't need the cheapest gardener. They need a reliable one who turns up, keeps the common areas presentable, and doesn't generate complaints, surprise invoices or admin. That's what Kanga is built for.
Not just mowing. Fewer problems to manage
When a committee engages a grounds contractor, the real job is making the grounds stop being something anyone has to think about.
Levies you can justify
Seasonal condition reports give you a clear record to show owners the maintenance budget is being spent and the work is being done.
Fewer complaints
Consistent presentation and a reliable schedule mean fewer "the gardens look untidy" emails landing in your inbox between meetings.
AGM-ready records
Fixed monthly cost and a visit history make budgeting and reporting to the AGM straightforward, with no surprises to explain.
The contractor that sells you a quieter inbox
Residents see the grounds every day, so they are the first to notice when something is off. Kanga gives them a person to tell, and gives you the record of it.
A contact card in every letterbox
At the start of service every resident and tenant gets a card with the work mobile of the person who actually maintains the grounds. Not an email address, not a national call line.
Answered on the spot
Day-to-day questions get a straight answer when they are asked, or they get handled at the next scheduled visit. Special requests are accommodated where practical.
Written up for the committee
Anything that needs a decision or an approval comes to you or the committee, and the seasonal condition report records what was raised and what was done.
The difference shows up in your week rather than on the lawn. Fewer resident emails to forward on, fewer complaint calls to return, and less chasing a contractor to confirm a job was done. Residents get a person instead of a process, which is usually all they were after in the first place.
It carries further than that. A committee that stops hearing about the gardens is a committee that renews, and a management firm with fewer grounds complaints on its desk holds its clients longer and gives its staff easier days.
Every other contractor on your list is selling a tidy lawn and a sharp price. None of them is selling you a quieter inbox.
Everything the common areas need, under one fee
Recurring maintenance scoped to your site, not one-off call-outs.
Common-area mowing
Ride-on for larger lawns and shared open space, push mowing for tighter areas, with edges and nature strips kept sharp.
Hedging & pruning
Boundary hedges, screening and shrubs shaped and tidied to keep the complex looking cared-for between mows.
Garden beds & weed control
Weeding, mulching and bed care so entrances and shared gardens stay clean and presentable year-round.
Green-waste removal
Clippings and prunings are taken away every visit and included in the fee, with no separate trips or charges.
Seasonal fertilising
Lawns and beds fed on a seasonal program, with the product matched to the species and the time of year instead of one bag spread over the whole complex.
Pest & disease management
Scale, borers, mites and fungal problems picked up early on an integrated pest management basis. Identify first, use the lightest effective treatment, and spray only where it is warranted.
Irrigation checking
An existing system is checked and adjusted through the season, so heads are running, zones are not blocked and the timer suits the weather. Design, installation and repairs sit outside the program and are referred on to an irrigation contractor.
From first call to a maintained site in four steps
Free common-area walkthrough
I walk the common property with you or the manager, check gate codes, bin-store access and where the ride-on can get through, and note what the committee wants sorted.
Fixed quote
You get a written quote with a clear scope and schedule. A set fee, no call-out charges.
Common-area program
The same operator maintains the shared grounds on schedule, fortnightly as standard, with three-weekly or monthly where the site suits it. Residents see the same face every visit.
Seasonal condition reports
A written record of site condition and anything worth flagging, at the frequency agreed for your site.
The accountability of one operator, not a national call-centre
Reliable & insured
$20M public and products liability, fully insured and police-checked, with a Certificate of Currency on request for the committee's records.
The same operator, every visit
Not a rotating crew or a call-centre: the same person who knows your site, with a direct line to the owner. Fewer complaints, less follow-up.
Fixed fee & seasonal reports
Predictable monthly cost for budgeting, green-waste included, and seasonal condition reports so nothing slips through the cracks.
What a program covers on three kinds of complex
These are scope outlines rather than client references, written to show how a program gets built for different sites. Your own scope is set at the walkthrough, and references from committees are available on request.
Mid-size townhouse complex, bayside
Fortnightly common-area program: ride-on for the shared lawns, hedges and entry beds kept sharp, green waste taken each visit. The committee gets seasonal condition reports for their records.

Multi-building strata, mixed grounds
A set monthly fee covering mowing, beds, hedges and green-waste removal across the whole site. Predictable for budgeting and easy to present at the AGM.
