Property and Grounds Ltd is a property maintenance company built for busy people, with its Christchurch office at 85 Durham Street South in Sydenham. From that base the team handles maintenance, landscaping, repair and installation work across Christchurch, with a second branch in Greerton, Tauranga. The company's stated standard on every job is the reliability of a larger team with the service of a boutique business.
The service list spans residential and commercial properties, large scale or small. Homeowners and landlords can call on general maintenance and handy services, plumbing, locksmith and glass work, fire alarm inspections, heat pump cleans, drainage, roofing, painting, cleaning and renovations from bathrooms and kitchens through to whole-house projects. Outdoors, the landscaping side covers everything from planting, lawns and garden beds to fencing, decks, paving and retaining walls, plus ongoing lawn mowing, hedge cutting, tree pruning and gutter cleans. Commercial clients get office and factory fit-outs, body corporate and insurance work, building repair and maintenance, and commercial landscaping.
The team sets out four things customers can expect: communication (no surprises, and you always know who will be on site and when), partnership, quality and efficiency. Customer feedback on the company's site praises backyard transformations by Jason and the landscaping team, a kitchen renovation turned from vision into reality, and speedy Christchurch maintenance completed ahead of schedule.
Property maintenance for busy people: that is the promise Property and Grounds Ltd builds its Christchurch operation around. From the Christchurch office at 85 Durham Street South in Sydenham, the company sends out a professional team to handle maintenance, landscaping, repair and installation work across the city — and, through a second branch in Greerton, across Tauranga too.
The idea behind the business is straightforward. Most property owners end up juggling half a dozen different trades: one for the plumbing, one for the painting, a mowing contractor, a handyman, someone for the gutters. Property and Grounds positions itself as the alternative — one point of contact that can do it all, on time, on budget and to a high standard. The company describes its standard on every job as the reliability of a larger team combined with the service of a boutique business, and it works across both residential and commercial properties, from small jobs to large-scale projects.
For homeowners, landlords and tenants, the residential service list is unusually broad. General maintenance and handy services sit at the core: handyman work, plumbing, locksmith services, glass repairs and installations, aluminium joinery repairs, pest control, fire alarm inspections and installations, and electrical heat pump cleans. Drainage and roofing round out the structural side, with drain laying, drain inspections and water blasting, and roof and gutter repairs.
Then come the bigger projects. The team handles renovations from kitchens and bathrooms through to whole-house projects, managing the job beginning to end. Painting is another string to the bow — interior and exterior painting and plastering, roof painting, fence spraying and driveway or concrete resealing — alongside cleaning services such as bond cleans, regular commercial and residential cleaning and window cleaning. Insurance work and general tidy-ups are welcome too.
Outside, the landscaping team runs both soft and hard landscaping: planting shrubs and trees, garden beds, lawns, coir and weed matting and revegetation on the green side; fencing, decks, paving, lawn and garden edges and retaining walls on the built side. They also install garden sheds, letter boxes, clothes lines and playground equipment, and keep gardens in shape with lawn mowing, gardening, weed control and spraying, hedge cutting, tree pruning, water blasting and gutter cleans.
The commercial arm mirrors that breadth. Property and Grounds manages small to large scale office and factory fit-outs and commercial renovations, installs heat pumps and appliances, and handles flooring, painting, general installations and insurance work, right down to small repairs and odd jobs. Body corporate maintenance is a particular strength — the company notes it has the capacity for repairs across an entire body corporate or large commercial site. Commercial landscaping covers design that elevates an entryway, hard-scaping, plant installation and care, and regular hedge trimming and outdoor tidy-ups for shared green spaces.
Behind the service list is a named, specialist team. Jason Wild leads landscaping as Landscape Manager, supported by Landscaping Leading Hand Corey Crump and gardener Darryl Aiken. Dwayne Aberhart is Lead Decorator, Aaron Nottage is Lead Builder, Trent Fogarty is Lead Handyman and Deryck Neal is the team's electrician. The company sets out four expectations for working with them: communication — no surprises, and you will always know who will be on site and when — plus partnership, quality and efficiency, summed up as work done once and done well.
Customer feedback on the company's site reflects that promise. Karen and John wrote that Jason and the landscaping team transformed their backyard into a beautiful oasis, with attention to detail and creativity that exceeded expectations. Mel praised the craftsmanship and professionalism behind her new kitchen, saying the team turned her vision into reality. Kylie highlighted speedy property maintenance in Christchurch, with everything completed ahead of schedule.
Engaging the team starts with a message: send your job through the website or call 0800 520 060, and someone from the team will be in touch to set up a quote. Even if a job doesn't appear on the service list, the company invites enquiries — the team's experience is extensive and the service list is constantly growing. Whether it's a healthier rental, a dream kitchen or a backyard redesign, the Sydenham-based crew says it would love to talk.
