We look after commercial grounds across Preston, Lancashire and the wider North West, keeping sites tidy, safe and ready for use all year round.
Well presented outdoor spaces help visitors, staff and residents feel confident about a site. From our base in the Preston area, our teams deliver planned grounds maintenance for business parks, housing schemes, schools, public spaces and operational sites across the region.
We combine mowing, hedge work, weed control and seasonal tidy ups with a clear schedule and consistent standards, so different locations are maintained in the same way over time.
Based in Preston, Working Across the North West
Operating from Preston, we are well placed to reach sites throughout Lancashire and into the wider North West. Our crews are out on the road every day, supporting clients in towns, cities and rural locations across the region.
We can travel efficiently to planned jobs and urgent call outs in Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside and nearby areas, helping you get the right support on site when you need it.
Many of the sites we visit week in, week out are in and around Preston and the central corridor of Lancashire. Typical locations include:
On these sites we usually work to a specification that has been agreed in advance, for example:
Routine grass cutting on verges, lawns and open spaces
Hedge trimming and shrub maintenance to keep boundaries clear
Weed control on paths, car parks and service yards
General presentation checks
Whether you manage a single site or a group of properties, we can build a visit pattern that fits around opening hours, peak use and other trades.

As well as our Lancashire base, we work with clients across the wider North West. This includes:
These contracts often involve a mix of estates, commercial premises and operational or infrastructure locations. We coordinate visit schedules, reporting and performance checks so you have one point of contact for sites in different towns and counties.
Regardless of location, our teams follow the same structured approach to planning, safety and quality. Across Preston, Lancashire and the North West we provide:
Regular mowing regimes for everything from small lawns to large open spaces, with cutting frequencies matched to the way each site is used. Edges, banks and awkward areas are included so the finished result looks deliberate and well maintained.
Planned hedge cutting and shrub work keeps sightlines open, paths clear and entrances looking cared for. We can combine safety related trimming with presentation work so boundaries both look neat and do their job.
Targeted treatments help to control weeds in hard standings and planted areas, with follow up visits where needed. Moss and algae on paths, steps and car parks can also be treated and cleared to reduce slip risk and improve appearance.
At key times of the year, such as before handover or after a period of heavy growth, we can carry out a more intensive tidy. This might include cutting back overhanging vegetation, clearing leaves, removing self seeded saplings and refreshing planted beds.
We can supply and plant shrubs, trees and bedding, add mulch, and reshape beds to lift the look of entrances, show homes and public spaces. Small changes can make a big difference to how a site feels on arrival.
For sites affected by invasive species we offer survey, treatment and management options, including Japanese knotweed control. Treatment plans are designed to satisfy lenders and insurers as well as on site requirements.
Our grounds maintenance teams support a wide range of organisations, including:
We are used to managing access, permits and security requirements, and can provide RAMS and supporting documentation where required.
Grounds maintenance at Great Oaks sits alongside tree surgery, vegetation management and site clearance, which means you can rely on one provider for most external works.
