Grounds Maintenance Season Begins in Devon – DTG Start the Year Strong

This time of year is always a big one for us at DTG Trees & Grounds.

As winter fades and the growing season begins, our grounds maintenance contracts start to kick back into full swing. It is one of the busiest and most rewarding periods in the calendar, and this year has started on a particularly strong note.

We are proud to say that we have come into this season with more than double the number of grounds maintenance contracts compared to last year. That kind of growth does not happen by chance. It reflects the trust our clients place in us and the consistent work our team delivers across every site.


Kicking Things Off at a Local Holiday Home Site

Today marked the start of works at one of our local holiday home sites here in Devon.

The first visit of the season is always an important one. It sets the tone for everything that follows. On this job, the team carried out the first full cut across the grounds, bringing everything back under control after the winter months and preparing the site for the season ahead.

Holiday parks and accommodation sites rely heavily on presentation. Guests expect clean, tidy and well-maintained surroundings from the moment they arrive. Getting that first cut right makes a big difference and helps ensure the site is ready for visitors as bookings begin to increase.


Why the First Cut Matters

After a long winter, outdoor spaces can quickly become overgrown, uneven and a bit tired looking.

The first full cut of the year is about more than just tidying things up. It helps:

• Bring lawns back to a consistent level
• Encourage healthy, even growth
• Improve the overall appearance of the site
• Set a standard for the rest of the maintenance schedule

Done properly, it makes all ongoing maintenance easier and more effective throughout the spring and summer.

Growing with Our Clients

Doubling our number of contracts this year is something we are genuinely proud of, but for us it is not just about growth for the sake of it.

A large part of that increase has come from repeat clients and recommendations, which says a lot about the relationships we have built over time. Whether it is commercial sites, holiday parks or managed properties, clients want reliability, clear communication and consistent results.

That is exactly what we focus on delivering.


Supporting Commercial Sites Across Devon

Our grounds maintenance work covers a wide range of sites across Devon, including:

• Holiday parks and accommodation sites
• Commercial premises and business parks
• Residential developments and managed estates
• Public and shared outdoor spaces

Each site has its own requirements, and we tailor our approach to suit. Some need regular weekly visits, while others require seasonal maintenance or specific works at key times of the year.

The goal is always the same. Keep the site looking its best while making life easier for the client.


A Team That Takes Pride in the Work

One of the biggest factors behind our growth is the team on the ground.

Grounds maintenance is hard, physical work, especially during the busy season. Long days, changing weather and large areas to cover are all part of the job. But it is also incredibly satisfying when you step back at the end of the day and see the difference.

Our team takes real pride in what they do, and that shows in the finish we leave behind on every site.


Looking Ahead to a Busy Season

With contracts now underway and new ones starting, we are heading into what looks set to be a busy and productive year.

Spring is just the beginning. As the season progresses, maintenance becomes more frequent, growth speeds up and sites need consistent attention to stay on top of things.

We are ready for it.

If you are responsible for a commercial site, holiday park or managed property, having a reliable grounds maintenance team makes a big difference.

At DTG Trees & Grounds, we provide professional, dependable services across Devon, helping clients keep their outdoor spaces tidy, safe and well presented throughout the year.
