From major highway contracts to private estate management, Grasstex delivers professional grounds services with specialist equipment, qualified operatives, and the standards that only six decades of experience can bring.
Grasstex has delivered highway verge maintenance and vegetation management for local authorities and highways agencies across the South East for decades. Our fully equipped, Chapter 8 compliant fleet and Lantra-qualified operatives ensure every operation meets the stringent requirements of highway work.
We operate under safe systems of work designed for high-speed and rural highway environments, maintaining verges, embankments, and central reservations to programme and specification — minimising disruption and maximising safety throughout.
Reliable, programmed grounds maintenance for local authority estates, housing associations, commercial developments, schools, hospitals, and private land. Grasstex provides dedicated operatives, a structured visit schedule, and consistent standards across every site we manage.
We adapt programmes to site-specific requirements — from small amenity areas to large, multi-site contracts — delivering the kind of dependable, long-term service that has kept clients returning to Grasstex for years.
Grasstex provides year-round sports surface maintenance to clubs, schools, leisure centres, and local authority facilities. From regular pitch maintenance to end-of-season renovation programmes, our sports turf teams keep playing surfaces in peak condition throughout the year.
Working across football, rugby, cricket, and multi-sport surfaces, we deliver agronomically sound maintenance that balances playability with long-term surface health. Linked to our sister company Apex Sports Pitches for major construction works.
Grasstex operates specialist remote-controlled robo-flail machinery capable of working on slopes, steep banks, and terrain inaccessible to conventional equipment. This capability is supported by a broader programme of ecology-led countryside management aligned with biodiversity objectives.
We work with landowners, local authorities, and conservation bodies to design and deliver cutting regimes that support wildflower establishment, protect habitats, and deliver measurable biodiversity benefit — without compromising operational effectiveness.
Grasstex delivers hard landscaping and infrastructure works as part of wider grounds and highway maintenance contracts, or as standalone projects. Our operatives are experienced in a range of civil and landscaping disciplines, supported by a well-maintained fleet of plant and equipment.
Whether it is a simple path repair, a new fencing installation, or tarmac patching as part of a highway maintenance contract — Grasstex has the capability to deliver quality hard landscaping works alongside our core soft landscape services.
Grasstex provides commercial and public sector winter services including reactive gritting, pre-treatment, snow clearance, and frost prevention. Our winter operations are structured around client-defined priority routes and call-off arrangements that ensure fast, reliable response when conditions demand it.
With pre-treated routes available for regular gritting clients and 24-hour emergency response capability, Grasstex winter services give facilities managers confidence that access and safety will be maintained through cold weather events.
Straight answers for facilities managers, local authorities, and estate managers weighing up a grounds maintenance contract.
Chapter 8 sets the traffic management requirements for working safely on or near the highway, not a fixed cutting frequency — that's usually set by the local authority's own visibility and safety specification, typically two to four cuts a year depending on the route. Grasstex's Chapter 8 compliant fleet and Lantra-qualified operatives are set up to deliver programmed cutting schedules or one-off call-outs to whatever frequency the contract specifies.
Contracts are tailored to the estate rather than sold as a fixed package — typically grass cutting, soft landscaping, and vegetation clearance across all sites, with options to add hard landscaping, winter gritting, and countryside management depending on what each site needs. Grasstex works this way for parish and county councils, sports clubs, and commercial or right-to-manage estates across Surrey.
