Service
Aden works as a full-service landscape management contractor for multi-unit communities, and it is a genuinely different business from residential work. A board is not buying a garden; it is buying predictable common-area condition, a contractor who turns up on schedule without being chased, and someone who can price and deliver a capital project against a reserve study. The value we bring to this segment is that maintenance and construction sit in the same company: the crew who mow the common areas are working for the firm that can rebuild the failing retaining wall behind building C, so nobody is coordinating two contractors and refereeing whose responsibility a problem is.

What is included
Common areas maintained and capital work delivered on a schedule.
Recurring maintenance of shared grounds on a defined scope and schedule — turf, beds, hedges, seasonal clearance and the entrance impression that residents judge the whole property by.
Failing walls, settled paving, trip hazards on shared walkways and drainage that has stopped working. The work that most maintenance-only contractors have to subcontract.
Larger scheduled work priced against a reserve plan — entrance rebuilds, common-area renovation, drainage remediation — with a written scope a board can present to owners.
Autumn leaf programmes, winter clearance and response to storm damage on shared ground, which in a treed Seattle community is a real annual exposure.
A project manager who knows the property, rather than a call centre. Board turnover is high; institutional memory of the site sitting with the contractor is worth more than it sounds.
Why people call us
How we build it
Seasonality. Maintenance contracts typically run annually with a seasonal weighting — heavier spring and autumn, lighter through the winter. Capital work is best scheduled March to September, and best tendered in the preceding autumn or winter, when there is time to get board approval and owner notice done before the construction season fills up.
Shared ground, boundaries of responsibility, the recurring complaints, and the items already flagged in the reserve study.
What is included, at what frequency, and explicitly what is not. Most disputes between an association and a landscape contractor are scope ambiguity rather than performance.
Recurring work and one-off projects priced separately, so a board can see what is operating budget and what belongs in reserves.
A predictable visit schedule and reporting a manager can put in front of a board without translating it first.
Phasing, access, parking and notice. On an occupied multi-unit property, how the work is sequenced matters nearly as much as the work.
What it costs
Recurring maintenance is priced per visit against a defined scope and frequency, which is the only way a board can compare bids on a like-for-like basis. Capital projects are priced individually with an itemised written scope suitable for presenting to owners. We are happy to price against an existing reserve study line rather than asking a board to redefine the work.
That is a market range, not a quote. Your price is fixed in writing after we have seen the site, and it does not move once agreed.
No deposit is required to start. Payment comes after the work is finished — not before.
A fixed, accurate price is guaranteed before the job starts. We do not quote low and raise it mid-project.
A 0% interest payment plan is available for up to 6 months.
Hardscaping work carries a warranty. Vegetation is excluded.

Both, and the working relationship differs. With a professional management company we deal primarily with the portfolio manager, provide reporting in a format that goes straight into their system, and keep communication in one channel rather than fielding calls from individual owners. With a self-managed board we usually work more closely with one or two designated members and put more into written scope and documentation, because board membership turns over and institutional memory of what was agreed tends to leave with it. Either way we would rather over-document at the start than rely on what somebody remembers.
Yes, and it is one of the most useful things we do for associations. Reserve studies carry allowances rather than quotes, and those allowances are often years old and were rarely produced by someone who walked the specific wall or the specific drainage run. We will price the actual work against the actual condition and give you an itemised written scope you can put in front of owners. Where our number differs materially from the reserve allowance, we will say why — sometimes the condition has deteriorated past what the study assumed, and occasionally the study was simply pessimistic and the work costs less.
By sequencing it as a logistics problem first and a landscaping problem second, because on an occupied property that is what it is. Before starting we agree the phasing, which access routes and parking areas are affected and when, where materials and spoil will be staged, and what notice residents get. Work that closes a shared walkway or a section of parking is scheduled to minimise the window rather than left open for convenience. It is slower than working on an empty site and we price it that way honestly, rather than bidding it as though the property were vacant and then generating complaints.
Either, and there is a real argument for combining them. Where maintenance and construction sit with separate contractors, problems that fall between the two — a settling walkway, drainage that has stopped working, a wall that is moving — tend to be reported by neither, because each can reasonably say it is not their scope. Having both in one company means the crew on site weekly are working for the firm that would do the remediation, so conditions get flagged early and priced rather than deteriorating until they become an emergency. That said, we are happy to take on capital work alone for an association that is content with its existing maintenance provider.
We come out, look at the site properly, and put a fixed written price together. No deposit, and nothing changes once the price is agreed.
