Fernline Commercial & Strata Grounds
A strata committee needs grounds that look after themselves on paper: a fixed scope, a visit schedule, proof it happened, and one accountable contact. We run dedicated commercial rounds across the Beaches with photo reports after every visit.
What this job includes.
- ✓Fixed-scope annual contracts with scheduled visits
- ✓Common-area gardens, lawns, hedges and leaf management
- ✓Photo report to the manager after every visit
- ✓Tree, irrigation and drainage issues flagged with quotes, not surprises
- ✓$20M public liability, SWMS and compliance paperwork supplied
Seven lines, every job, no allowances.
Whatever the service, the proposal itemises the same way, so you always know what you are paying for.
- 1 The scaled design. A measured plan of your block, drawn to scale and signed off by you before anything is dug or ordered.
- 2 Site prep & drainage. Excavation, soil improvement and where the water goes. Priced as its own line, never buried in "site costs".
- 3 Structures, itemised. Deck, pergola, retaining walls and steps, each with its spec, footing detail and engineering where required.
- 4 Materials, named. Spotted gum or blackbutt, sandstone or block, named in the proposal so nothing gets quietly substituted.
- 5 The planting schedule. Every plant by species and pot size, chosen for your soil, sun and salt exposure, not a "$3,000 planting allowance".
- 6 Approvals & certification. DA, CDC or exempt, stated up front. Where approval or engineering is needed, the path and the cost are in the proposal.
- 7 Warranty & handover care. The 5-year structural warranty in writing, plus a 12-week establishment plan so the planting actually survives.
What happens, step by step.
Design visit & measure
We walk the block with you, measure it properly, and talk budget honestly. How you live outside drives the design.
Design & itemised proposal
A scaled plan with structures, materials and a full planting schedule, priced line by line. You sign off the drawing, not a guess.
Build, staged and tidy
Earthworks, drainage, structures, then planting, in that order. The site is left safe and tidy every single evening.
Plant & hand over
Planting to the schedule, mulch, irrigation checks, then a walkthrough against the plan and a 12-week establishment guide.
The paperwork behind the price.
Public liability to $20M, and a 5-year structural workmanship warranty, all in writing, all on request.
Structural landscaping over $5,000 in NSW legally requires a licensed contractor, and our licence number is on every contract. Public liability to $20M protects your property while we work, and the 5-year structural workmanship warranty covers the decks, walls, paving and drainage we build. Every plant on the schedule is backed by a 12-week establishment guarantee. Certificates of currency are yours on request before any deposit.
