The grounds maintenance season is now fully underway, and it has been another busy week for the team here at DTG Trees & Grounds.

As spring growth continues and outdoor spaces across Devon begin to see more use, our teams have been working across the county helping commercial sites, managed properties and outdoor spaces stay tidy, presentable and well maintained.

This week alone, we had six teams out working across multiple locations, including:

• Two teams working in Plymouth
• Two teams working in Exeter
• One team in Dawlish
• One team in Torquay

With the weather finally improving and the growing season picking up pace, it has certainly felt like the start of a busy summer ahead.

Grounds Maintenance Season in Full Swing

This time of year is one of the busiest periods for grounds maintenance.

Grass growth accelerates quickly, hedges begin filling out and outdoor areas need much more regular attention compared to the winter months. For commercial sites, holiday parks and managed properties, staying on top of maintenance early in the season makes a huge difference later on.

By keeping sites maintained consistently from the start, it helps avoid areas becoming overgrown and keeps outdoor spaces looking clean and professional throughout the year.

Supporting Sites Across Devon

One of the things we enjoy most about our work is the variety of sites and locations we get to work in.

Over the course of this week, our teams covered everything from larger commercial grounds to routine maintenance visits, helping clients across Devon maintain safe, tidy and welcoming outdoor environments.

Whether we are working in busy city locations like Exeter and Plymouth or coastal areas such as Dawlish and Torquay, the goal remains the same. Deliver reliable, professional work and leave every site looking its best.

Why Regular Grounds Maintenance Matters

Good grounds maintenance is about much more than appearance.

For commercial properties and visitor-facing sites, well-maintained outdoor areas help create positive first impressions and reflect the standards of the business or organisation itself.

Regular maintenance also helps with:

• Keeping sites safe and accessible
• Preventing areas from becoming overgrown
• Improving presentation for visitors and customers
• Protecting lawns and landscaped areas long term
• Reducing the need for larger reactive work later in the season

Consistency is what makes the biggest difference, especially during spring and summer when growth is at its fastest.

Making the Most of the Better Weather

The team were lucky enough to finish the week with some fantastic weather and even better views while working across Devon.

One of the best parts of working outdoors is getting to see some incredible locations throughout the county, especially as everything starts coming back to life in spring.

Longer days and better conditions also allow us to keep sites maintained more efficiently as schedules become busier heading into summer.

A Strong Team Effort

Weeks like this are only possible because of the effort our teams put in every single day.

Grounds maintenance can be physically demanding work, particularly during the busy season when schedules are full and growth is constant. From travelling across the county to keeping standards high on every site, it takes a strong team effort to keep everything running smoothly.

We are incredibly grateful to all of our staff for the hard work they continue to put in week after week. Their professionalism, reliability and pride in the work are what allow us to keep delivering the level of service our clients expect.
