Commercial grounds maintenance in Bridgewater, NJ
Scheduled mowing, mulch, trimming, and seasonal cleanups for commercial properties, HOAs, and estates across Somerset County. PTB runs your grounds from the first spring cleanup until it snows. One company, all year.
Your whole property on one contract
PTB runs the whole property on a single maintenance contract, built around what your grounds actually need. Because no two properties are the same, no two contracts are either.
A typical season runs like this. PTB starts in early March with a spring cleanup and fresh mulch where it's needed, moves into weekly mowing and bed maintenance through the growing season, comes through for a trim before fall, and closes the year with a full fall cleanup before shifting over to snow management. Every visit is scheduled and documented, so the property always looks maintained instead of caught up on.
Priced by the work, not just the square footage
Plenty of companies quote off lot size and leave it at that. PTB prices a property by how long the work actually takes and what the materials cost, so you pay for the work your grounds need instead of a formula. It's a straighter number, and it's one you can hand to a boss or a board.
What's covered under a PTB contract
- Mowing, edging, mulch, trimming, and the spring and fall cleanups, all under one scope.
- Weekly mowing during peak growing season, with edging, blowing, and quick bed pickup on the same visit.
- Notes on every visit, and photos or written service logs if the property manager or board needs them for reporting.
- Licensed NJ contractor, fully insured, with certificates of insurance available on request.
- Custom scope for the property, priced by the actual work being done. No square-footage formulas.
The work that keeps a property sharp
Sharp Edges & Bed Lines
Bed lines, curbs, and walks kept cut clean throughout the season, so the property reads maintained instead of overgrown.
Mulch & Bed Care
Fresh mulch where the beds need it and edges kept clean, usually laid in with the spring cleanup and touched up as the property calls for it.
Trimming & Pruning
Shrubs and ornamentals trimmed to keep the property crisp, including a pass before fall so it heads into winter clean.
Spring & Fall Cleanups
The two cleanups that bookend the season. A spring cleanup to open the property up, and a full fall cleanup to close it down before the snow.
On-Site Notes & Photos
Crews note anything the property needs on every visit. If you want photos or written service logs, PTB caters the documentation to what you report on.
Weekly Mow Cadence
Commercial properties get a weekly mowing pass during peak growing season, plus edging, blowing, and quick bed pickup on the same visit. Frequency dials back as growth slows.
What a full-season contract actually looks like
Four service touchpoints that make up a typical PTB grounds contract, with the depth property managers ask about.
What's in a spring cleanup
Winter debris and windblown trash off lawns, beds, and paved surfaces. First mowing pass of the season. Bed edging. Fresh mulch where beds have thinned. Perennials cut back. Ornamental grasses trimmed. A walk of the property to flag anything that took damage over winter.
Weekly mowing & bed pass
A scheduled weekly mowing visit during peak growing season. Same visit covers edging along curbs and bed lines, blowing paved surfaces clean, and quick pickup on any bed debris. Frequency dials back through mid-summer heat and late season as growth slows.
Mulch & bed care
A full mulch refresh in the spring at the industry-standard 2 to 3 inch depth. Touch-ups later in the season on beds that thin out from weather or foot traffic. Beds edged clean so the property reads maintained, not overgrown.
What's in a fall cleanup
Leaves cleared from lawns, beds, parking lots, and sidewalks. Perennials cut back or deadheaded. Ornamental grasses trimmed. Drainage areas cleared of debris so winter runoff has somewhere to go. Property left tidy so it comes out of winter ready for spring.
Snow & ice season
When snow arrives, the property transitions to commercial snow removal on the same PTB contract. Plowing, salting, sidewalk clearing, and 24/7 storm response kick in at the trigger depth in the contract. One company covers the grounds from March through fall and the snow through winter, with no gap between contractors and nothing falling through the cracks.
Three steps to a maintained property.
We Walk the Property
PTB walks the site and figures out what the property actually needs. Because every property is different, the contract gets built around it, not pulled off a shelf.
You Get a Straight Contract
PTB prices the work by the time it takes and the materials it needs, then puts a clear contract in front of you. No vague scope, no formula off the square footage.
Ongoing Scheduled Service
PTB runs the grounds on a set schedule from the early-March spring cleanup through the full fall cleanup. Every visit is documented, so the property never gets caught up on and you know exactly what was done.
Grounds maintenance, answered straight.
What's included in a PTB grounds maintenance contract?
Scheduled mowing, mulch, trimming, and the seasonal cleanups are the core of it. Because every property has different needs, PTB builds each contract around what that property actually requires, so no two are exactly the same. Tell PTB what the grounds need and the scope gets written to match.
When does the maintenance season start and end?
PTB generally starts mowing and landscape service in early March with a spring cleanup, runs the property through the growing season, and keeps going until it snows. Then the same property switches over to snow removal, so PTB covers it all year without a gap.
How much does commercial grounds maintenance cost?
Honestly, it depends on the property more than anything. A small strip center with a couple beds is nothing like a corporate campus or an HOA with 20 acres of lawn and eight cleanups a year. Most commercial grounds contracts in Somerset County land somewhere between $1,000 and $6,000 per acre for the year, depending on how often the crew is on-site, the cleanup scope, and how much bed work is in the plan. Billy walks the property and gives you a real number based on what it actually needs.
Is PTB licensed and insured?
Yes. PTB is a licensed New Jersey contractor, HIC #13VH09923300, and is fully insured. Certificates of insurance are available for property managers and boards that need them on file.
Does PTB document the work at each visit?
PTB crews take notes on every visit. If a client needs photos, written logs, or something to pass up to a board, PTB sets that up around what you need to document. The paperwork matches how you report on the property.
What's the difference between grounds maintenance and landscape maintenance?
Honestly, not much of one. Commercial landscape maintenance, professional landscape maintenance, outdoor maintenance, grounds care, they all describe the same work. In the field the terms get used the same way. Whichever you call it, PTB handles the whole property on one contract, from mowing and cleanups to mulch and trimming.
Does PTB handle snow removal too?
Yes. When the mowing season ends, PTB switches the property straight to commercial snow removal, so the same company that maintains the grounds in summer plows and salts it in winter. One contractor covers the property all year.
Want one company running your grounds all year?
