Testimonials

Garth and his team from Common Ground Maintenance have attended to the maintenance of our buildings and gardens for a number of years.  Their work is always thorough, of a high standard, and their attendance on site diligent and friendly.  Under Garth’s guidance we have been able to make major improvements to our gardens, both in terms of aesthetics – which has significantly improved the look of the property – and in the ongoing maintenance, which is now much easier, efficient, and cost effective.  It has been a pleasure to work with Garth over the last few years and I’d certainly recommend his services.

Everything looks amazing. I’m sure everyone is grateful for the work you have already done but honestly, Garth, I am so happy you agreed to help us get the Courtyard to a glory it definitely lost a long time ago. You are always so dedicated to everything and I am truly thankful.

  “I would highly recommend Garth and his dedicated team at Common Ground Property Services (CGPS). They provide excellence in garden and property maintenance. They have transformed our unit block at Toowong. the Committee look forward to working with Garth and his team for many years to come. Our property was looking very unkempt in common areas, weed control was a major issue and the garden was very overgrown and plants were not healthy. The Body Corporate is extremely happy with the transformation of the grounds. We are now able to work with CGPS on improving other areas in the unit block ie. garden paths etc. Garth and his team are very approachable and always go above and beyond. I cannot speak highly enough of CGPS.”

“I am extremely happy with the job you have done in the last 12 months, not only the grounds and buildings but the pride you take in everything you do here. You have very much become part of the family here and always go above and beyond in your work, communication and willingness to make suggestions for improvements. The difference in the appearance of our complex has been directly influencing the calibre/behaviour of the renting folk and it is all a credit to you. Many thanks for all your hard work.”

“There was universal praise at the AGM for the work that Common Ground Property Services has done at our complex.

Thank-you for the pressure washing work. The results speak for themselves- just brilliant. We sat outside having a drink yesterday afternoon, really appreciating the clean pavers- and said we’ll have to get organised to get you to clean up the garden.

 Also, thank-you for tidying up the communal herb garden- looks great for the long summer ahead.”

Paul, Body Corporate Chairman

New Farm Apartment Complex

“The communication and enthusiasm of Garth and his team has enabled this apartment complex to become a welcoming environment once again. The body corporate are more than satisfied that his team are responsible for the continual maintenance and care of the apartment complex and it couldn’t be in better hands.”

Shannon, Body Corporate Committee Chairperson,

Taringa Apartment Complex

“As an absentee owner and body corporate committee member of a unit in Auchenflower, I was finding it difficult to deal with contractors attending our property when I couldn’t be on site to supervise them.  Over time, this resulted in a noticeable decline in the level of service received from our gardeners and cleaners, to the point where they had even stopped turning up, but still were charging us.  All this changed when we switched to Common Ground Property Services – now I feel confident that our gardens and common areas are being cared for to a high standard.  When I do find the time to drive over and have a look I can see the difference – the gardens and lawns look great and the common areas are clean.

Common Ground Property Services stood out from the competition right from the quoting stage.  Garth was very thorough and took time to listen to what our needs were, offered ideas and solutions to the problems we were having with some areas of the property, and prepared a detailed and professional quote.  Compared to the competition, who actually said they preferred me not to be there when they came to quote, it was obvious that Garth was someone I could trust to do a good job!  His interest in plants and landscaping only improves the versatility of Common Ground Property Services – as well as maintaining the property, Garth goes those extra steps to improve it, such as with his maintenance program to remove weeds from the lawn. 

We are more than happy with Common Ground Property Services, and I have since engaged Garth to also take care of another rental property that I own. Previously, I used to go around to the units from time to time to remove weeds and trim trees – even though we were paying someone else to do this!  Now I feel confident that Common Ground Property Services are taking care of everything.

Garth is proactive and a great communicator as well, which is perfect for busy owners who live off site.”

Sarah, Body Corporate Committee Member,

Auchenflower Apartment Complex

 “Since changing to Common Ground Property Services our unit complex is looking much cleaner, tidier and ‘fresher’. Garth and his team have been very easy to work with and are friendly, prompt and we know that tasks will be completed professionally. As a Body Corporate we have been impressed with how Garth takes pride in his work. He takes the time to look around and report to us on any maintenance or cleaning issues that he becomes aware of.
We were looking for a change in who we used to clean and maintain our complex, we are grateful that we found Garth.”

Jenny, Body Corporate Committee Chairwoman

New Farm Apartment Complex

One of the tenants called me today to say that you were doing a good job with the cleaning. I was also there today and thought the place looked great. The hedge out the back looked good so well done with the trimming there.

Keep up the good work!”

Antoon, Body Corporate Committee Chairman

Fortitude Valley Apartment Complex

“Thanks, Garth and the team, for really lifting the appearance to our once neglected unit complex.

With our previous caretakers, our gardens and cleaning were being neglected. It was quite frustrating to come home (from work) to an untidy common area and to be constantly chasing the caretakers for work that wasn’t done. With a few quotes, from different companies, we decided to go with Common Ground Property Services, we found Garth to be prompt, professional and approachable – plus he had a vision of how our complex should look.

Myself (and other owners) were amazed at the immediate difference once Common Ground Property Services started work on our complex! After one day, the attention to detail was noticeable – carpets were clean, glass and paths were as well.

It’s great to see the complex starting to look fresh and new again! Many thanks.”

Wade, Body Corporate Committee Member

New Farm Apartment Complex

“Just wanting to let you know that your staff did an extra good job of the grounds today, especially the trimming of the hedges and the general tidy up. The grounds look really cared for.

If you have time please pass on our appreciation.”
