VvE Garden Maintenance
Gardener owners association / ‘VvE’
In the Netherlands, VvE stands for ‘Vereniging van Eigenaren’, which translates directly to “Owners Association”. Consequently, every buyer of an apartment automatically becomes a member of this association, sharing joint responsibility for the maintenance of the entire building and its surrounding communal grounds. This means professional landscaping and structural garden care are crucial elements of the collective property management. Therefore, to give property managers and residents full clarity, we explain what our specialized services provide, how our sustainable contracts operate, and how the shared maintenance costs are efficiently structured.
What can we provide for garden maintenance?
We completely manage the seasonal garden maintenance of your residential complex. By collaborating closely with the board or property manager, our team draws up a strategic annual plan tailored to the grounds. As a result, this proactive approach ensures the communal outdoor areas are meticulously maintained and always remain in top condition, leaving the board entirely worry-free. Please note, however, that we focus exclusively on long-term partnerships; loose, incidental jobs or small residential gardening do not fall within our scope of service.
Our maintenance consists of:
- Professional lawn management and periodic mulch mowing for vital grass
- Strategic entrance optimization featuring representative planting structures
- Certified tree care, including crown pruning and Tree Safety Checks (VTA)
- Architectural lighting maintenance and professional landscape installations
- Expert structural pruning of all hedges, shrubs, and communal boundaries
- Comprehensive pavement maintenance with industrial weed and debris control
- Swift site clearing of storm damage, branches, and autumn leaf pollution
- Reliable seasonal care, certified de-icing, and winter anti-slip management
Our services cover the entire spectrum of professional green space management. If your property requires a specialized solution not listed above, our experienced team possesses the expertise to accommodate your needs through a tailored contract.
Calamities and urgent repairs are handled with the highest priority by Rubens Tuinen. For emergency interventions, such as pavement subsidence caused by extreme rainfall, please contact our dedicated emergency line directly at tel: 010 – 466 79 54. We will ensure our team deploys swiftly to restore safety and functionality to your terrain.
Landscaping VvE
In addition to structural maintenance, we design and execute complete garden renovations for premium residential complexes. Our landscape architect accurately tailors the botanical planting plan to complement the specific architecture of your property. This careful focus on highly efficient layouts significantly reduces the structural operational costs for the Owners Association.
As soon as the design is approved, we manage the entire realization—from flawless turf installation to bespoke premium woodwork. Implementing fully automated robotic mowing architectures is also highly recommended. While this requires a one-time investment, it guarantees the communal lawns remain in absolute top condition year-round without ongoing manual labor costs.
Strategic Budgeting & HOA Maintenance Contracts
Budgeting the shared green spaces requires transparency and a clear long-term vision. To offer the board and residents total certainty, Rubens Tuinen works exclusively with custom-made, periodic maintenance contracts. We align our fixed annual rates directly with the exploitation budget or the Long-Term Maintenance Plan (MJOP) of your Owners Association. This ensures the board knows the exact annual costs in advance, keeping the financial forecasting simple and secure.
We are happy to visit your complex in the Rotterdam or Capelle aan den IJssel region for a non-binding on-site assessment. Together with the board or the property manager, we will compile a strategic annual plan that perfectly matches the desired premium appearance and the available VvE budget.
Sustainable Garden Management for Future-Proof Businesses
Our team thoroughly assesses your corporate grounds based on modern sustainability criteria. During this comprehensive audit, we evaluate how the terrain performs in terms of biodiversity, whether rainwater is effectively returned to the soil, and if the overall drainage is sufficient. Furthermore, we analyze soil structure, check plant and tree vitality, and identify potential safety risks for visitors or employees. All of these detailed observations are compiled into a comprehensive, actionable report.
