An IT park is judged by its approach, its atrium and its lawns before anyone sees a workstation. Because the grounds are large, used daily and often shared by several tenants, they need a maintenance plan, not just a gardener and a hose.
Divide the park into zones
Entrances and the main avenue, tenant lobbies and atria, food courts and break-out areas, car parks, and peripheral zones all need different standards. Zoning lets you spend effort where visitors and tenants will notice it.
Set a standard for each zone
Write down what 'good' looks like: lawn height, flowering colour, plants free of dead material, paths clear of debris. A written standard makes reviews objective and reduces disagreement between tenants and management.
Build a seasonal programme
Plan pruning, feeding, seasonal colour, lawn renovation and tree inspection through the year, and prepare for the monsoon in advance. Our monsoon plant care guide covers the pre-monsoon routine.
Make water work harder
Irrigation schedules, drip systems, mulching and treated water reuse reduce consumption on large sites. Assign someone to check the system regularly, since leaks and broken heads are common sources of waste.
Include indoor greenery in the plan
Atria, lobbies and common floors need their own routine. A single provider covering grounds and indoor plants simplifies coordination and reporting. See our indoor plant service.
Review regularly and share the results
A monthly walk with the contractor, backed by a short report, keeps standards from slipping. Sharing the results with tenant representatives builds confidence in the facilities team.
We maintain campuses and technology parks. See our page for corporate campuses and IT parks, or request an AMC assessment.
