School & institutional grounds maintenance across south-east Melbourne
Recurring grounds care for schools, early learning centres, churches and community facilities, delivered by a WWCC-checked, police-checked owner-operator who schedules the noisy work around your day and hands you a service report after every visit.
Grounds care that fits around a school day
A school or community site isn't just another lawn. The contractor has to be checked and comfortable being sight-verified at the office, the mowing can't happen under a classroom window mid-lesson, and someone has to keep paths, sightlines and play spaces safe, every week of term, without the office having to chase it. That's the job Kanga is set up for.
A checked operator the office doesn't have to think about
When a business manager engages a grounds contractor, the real job is making the grounds one less thing on the compliance list.
Child-safe by default
WWCC and police-checked, White Card carded, and the same person on site every visit, so the register always shows one known, checked operator.
Scheduled around your day
Noisy work timed away from class time, assemblies and pick-up: early starts, after hours, and term-break visits for the bigger jobs.
Records for the file
Certificate of Currency, SWMS on request, inductions completed without fuss, and a service report after each visit for your records.
Everything the grounds need, under one fee
Recurring maintenance scoped to your site and your calendar, not one-off call-outs.
Ovals, lawns & play spaces
Ride-on mowing for ovals and larger open space, push mowing around buildings and play equipment, with edges kept sharp and surfaces left clean.
Hedging, pruning & sightlines
Hedges and shrubs shaped, paths and gateways kept clear, and growth trimmed back from windows, signage and supervision sightlines.
Garden beds & weed control
Entrance and courtyard beds weeded, mulched and kept presentable, with weed spraying planned around term breaks and out-of-hours windows.
Green-waste removal
Clippings and prunings are taken away every visit and disposed of responsibly. Included in the fee, with nothing left on site.
From first call to a maintained site in four steps
Free site walkthrough
I visit the site, walk the grounds with you, and note your induction, sign-in and scheduling requirements.
Fixed quote
You get a written quote with a clear scope and schedule. A set fee, no call-out charges.
Term-aware maintenance
The same checked operator services the site on a schedule built around your calendar, with catch-up visits in the holidays.
Service report each visit
A short record of what was done and anything flagged (a loose paling, a trip hazard, a failing limb), kept for your file.
One checked operator, not a rotating crew
Checked & insured
WWCC, police check and White Card held, with $20M public and products liability and a Certificate of Currency on request for your compliance records.
The same operator, every visit
One known face for your staff and your sign-in register: someone who learns the site, the bell times and the access quirks, with a direct line to the owner.
Fixed fee & service reports
A predictable cost for the annual budget, green waste included, and a written report after each visit so the office never has to chase confirmation.
What a Kanga program looks like in practice
Illustrative examples of the kind of sites and outcomes we work to. Real references are available on request.
Primary school, bayside. Fortnightly program through term: oval and lawns mown early before the first bell, beds and edges kept tidy, with bigger pruning and catch-up work saved for the term breaks.
Early learning centre, tight site. Push-mow and garden program timed outside operating hours, play spaces left clean and hazard-checked, and a short report to the director after every visit.
Church & community centre. Monthly grounds visit covering lawns, hedges and beds under one fixed fee, presentation lifted before key events on the calendar, green waste gone the same day.
