Our Technology

Every visit, documented and sent to you.

Most grounds maintenance contractors turn up, do the work, and leave. You're left taking their word for it. We built our reporting system to remove that guesswork.

  • Logged on site, not from memory

    Our teams record what's been done on the spot — no end-of-week paperwork, no gaps.

  • Photo evidence with every report

    Before-and-after photos attached to the checklist, so you can see the work, not just read about it.

  • Your own portal login

    Every client gets access to their site history, past reports, and upcoming visits in one place.

Services

What we do

Eight service lines, one point of contact. Mix and match to suit your site, or bring it all under one contract.

Grounds Maintenance

Regular grass cutting, hedge trimming, and site tidying to a schedule agreed in advance, so you always know when we're due. Every visit is logged with photos and notes in your portal.

Specialism

Senior living properties

Care homes and retirement developments have grounds needs that differ from a standard commercial site. Paths need to stay clear, hazards need to be spotted early, and work needs to happen without disrupting residents.

  • Slip and trip hazards checked and cleared as standard
  • Scheduling built around residents, visiting hours, and quiet times
  • Direct line to your facilities or care manager, not a call centre
  • Reports shared with facilities teams and, where needed, families

Giving Back

The Matthew Notley Memorial Fund

In memory of Matthew Notley, who died aged 14 from an undiagnosed heart condition, we fund heart screening for schoolchildren across the areas we work in. Early screening catches conditions that would otherwise go unnoticed until it's too late.

It's not a marketing add-on. It's a cause the people who founded this company carry with them, and a reason clients keep working with us.

Our Story

Founded by people who still turn up to site

Ferns Landscape Maintenance Ltd was started by three people who wanted a grounds maintenance company that did what it said it would, and could prove it.

CN

Chris Notley

Co-Founder

Started the business on the belief that clients shouldn't have to chase a contractor to find out what work has actually been done.

MB

Matt Brookes

Co-Founder

Oversees operations across the regional teams, making sure every site runs to the same standard regardless of postcode.

VP

Vicky Poole

Co-Founder

Built the client-facing side of the business, including the reporting system and portal clients use every day.
