A Strong Finish to the Week: New Grounds Maintenance Contract in the Heart of Devon

It’s always satisfying to end the week on a high, and this one certainly delivered.

This week, the team at DTG Trees & Grounds were onsite setting up a brand-new grounds maintenance contract at a truly impressive location. The site is a premier 30-acre luxury retirement development, set in the heart of the Devon countryside and home to a mix of mobile and static residences.

From the moment we arrived, it was clear this is a place where presentation matters. Immaculate surroundings, well-planned green spaces and a real sense of pride in the environment make it a genuinely beautiful site and a fantastic place for our team to work.


Grounds Maintenance at Scale

Managing a site of this size requires more than just mowing grass. Large developments demand consistent standards, reliable scheduling and an experienced team that understands how different areas of a site are used throughout the year.

Our role here includes maintaining lawns, communal green spaces and landscaped areas to a standard that reflects the quality of the development itself. It’s about keeping everything looking sharp, welcoming and well cared for, while also working considerately around residents and daily life on site.

Projects like this highlight the importance of professional grounds maintenance, not just for appearance but for safety, accessibility and long-term site value.


Equipped for Small Sites and Large Estates

As DTG continues to grow, so does our capability. With a growing fleet of ride-on mowers and specialist equipment, along with a hardworking and enthusiastic team, we’re well equipped to manage everything from smaller commercial sites through to large estates and multi-acre developments.

Our approach is simple. We turn up when we say we will, work efficiently and leave sites looking better than we found them. Consistency, attention to detail and pride in our work are what set us apart.


Looking Ahead to the Year Ahead

Following this latest contract win, we’re now accepting tenders for grounds maintenance and grass cutting contracts starting from April 2026. That said, we’re also actively taking on new commercial projects throughout the year where availability allows.

If you’re responsible for a retirement development, commercial site, estate, business park or residential complex and need a contractor you can rely on, we’d be very happy to talk.


A Contractor That Cares About Standards

Grounds maintenance is often judged on the small details. Clean lines, consistent cuts, tidy edges and a site that always looks presentable. That’s what we aim to deliver, every visit, without cutting corners.

This new project is a great example of the type of work we enjoy most. Well-run sites, clear expectations and a shared commitment to high standards.

If you’re planning ahead or considering a change in contractor, now is a good time to start the conversation. We’re proud of the work we do and always keen to take on new commercial projects across Devon.
