Grounds maintenance contracts for housing cooperatives, property owners and municipalities
Alongside private gardens, contract work is our everyday business: we maintain courtyards, blocks and entire residential areas on ongoing contracts – season after season, year after year. The board, the property manager or the municipality gets one point of contact, a maintenance plan and a team that knows the area.
Short answer
Who maintains the grounds for housing cooperatives and property companies in Stockholm?
Service Plus Stockholm AB looks after courtyards, blocks and entire residential areas on seasonal and year-round contracts for housing cooperatives, property companies, joint property associations and municipalities across Greater Stockholm. There is no fixed package: the contract is based on a free site visit and everything in it is agreed with you. The board or property manager gets one contact person, a maintenance plan that can be changed at any time, and consolidated monthly invoicing. In winter we add snow clearing and gritting if you want them.
The maintenance contract is built around your areas: lawns, hedges, flower beds, trees, paths and entrances are walked through at a site visit and we propose a frequency per task. Everything in the plan is a proposal until you have had your say – you decide what is included, how often it is done and what you would rather look after yourselves. The same team then works to the plan you agreed to, so the outdoor areas keep an even standard and the board does not have to coordinate individual bookings.
We would rather say yes than no. If something comes up outside the plan – a storm that brought a tree down, an extra clean-up before a viewing, a request from a member or an area you want to add – we sort it out after a quick word. If you want to change the scope mid-contract, that is fine. Everything is carried out with our own equipment and our own transport to recycling, and what gets done is agreed between us. Get in touch and we will look at your areas together.
Who we work with
Who does Service Plus work with?
Housing cooperatives
Ongoing maintenance of courtyards, lawns, hedges, flower beds and trees. The board gets one point of contact and a maintenance plan we draw up together with you and change as soon as the cooperative wants something else.
Property companies & managers
Grounds maintenance for entire portfolios at whatever frequency you want – we take on blocks and areas, not just single addresses, and coordinate with the technical management. The scope is yours to set.
Municipalities & joint property associations
Parks, common land, playgrounds, verges and tree care – ongoing or as needed. We are happy to talk the arrangement through before anything is decided. Municipalities and joint property associations are welcome to contact us directly.
Companies & businesses
Entrances, car parks and green spaces that represent the business all year round – plus window cleaning for offices, shops and glazed balconies. Tell us what you need and we build the arrangement around it.
Everything above is an example. You choose which tasks are included, how often they are done and what you would rather handle yourselves – and you are welcome to change your mind during the year, we adjust the plan to suit you.

Everything is by agreement
We have no fixed packages and no task that has to be included. Tell us what you need help with and we build the arrangement around it – if you only want the grass cut, we cut the grass; if you want us to look after the whole outdoor environment all year, we do that. If something should be done more often, less often or differently, just say so. We are happy to talk through the options before you decide, and we help with most things to do with the grounds even when they fall outside the contract.
- You set the scope – we propose, you choose
- The contract can be changed at any point during the year
- Extra work is sorted out after a quick word
- We would rather say yes than no when you need help
How does a maintenance contract work?
- 1
Site visit and survey
We walk through the areas with you and listen to what you want done, how often and what you would rather handle yourselves. Nothing is decided over your heads.
- 2
Maintenance plan and quote
You receive a proposal with a frequency per task and clear pricing per area and job – nothing is guessed, everything is based on the site visit. The proposal is a starting point: cut it, add to it and change it until it matches what you want.
- 3
Seasonal or year-round contract
The contract usually runs one year at a time with the option to extend, and can start with a trial season. If your needs change during the year, we change the contract.
- 4
Delivery and an open line
The same team returns according to the plan. Get in touch at any point if something should be done differently or added, and we will sort it out – what you want comes before the plan.
- 5
Review every season
We check in with the board or property manager before each new season and adjust the plan to how the areas have developed and what you want changed.
Why do cooperatives and property managers choose Service Plus?
Used to large areas
We maintain entire residential areas and blocks – routes, staffing and machines are planned for the area, not for individual addresses.
One contact person
The board or the property manager always has the same contact at our end, who knows the area and the contract.
Everything by agreement
No fixed packages. You choose which tasks are included and how often, and change your mind whenever you like – we adjust the plan and the price to match.
Own equipment and waste removal
Professional machines, electric wherever possible, and we take all waste to the recycling centre ourselves.

Frequently asked questions about maintenance contracts
Does Service Plus work with housing cooperatives and municipalities?
Yes. In addition to homeowners, Service Plus maintains the outdoor areas of housing cooperatives (BRF), property companies, joint property associations, companies and municipalities in Greater Stockholm on seasonal and year-round contracts. We take on entire courtyards, blocks and residential areas and have worked with the same areas year after year.
What is included in a maintenance contract?
You decide that together with us – there is no fixed package. Examples of what is usually included: lawn mowing and trimming, hedge trimming, weeding, pruning, spring and autumn clean-ups, leaf clearing, watering and waste removal. Tree felling, stump grinding, planting, window cleaning and snow clearing are added if you want them. We always start from your areas and what you ask for.
Can we change the contract during the year?
Yes, at any time. Tell us if something should be added, removed or done more often and we adjust the plan and the price accordingly. We are used to adapting to how a cooperative or property actually works, and we are happy to talk through the options before you decide.
Can you take on a whole area or several properties?
Yes. Contract work on larger areas is our everyday business – we plan routes and staffing for entire residential areas and portfolios with several addresses, and keep the same standard across all areas.
How is a maintenance contract priced?
After a free site visit we provide a quote with a price per task and area based on frequency and scope. Invoicing is consolidated monthly or as agreed.
Does the RUT deduction apply to a housing cooperative?
No. The RUT deduction (the Swedish tax deduction for household services) applies to private individuals for work on their own home. Cooperatives, property companies and municipalities are invoiced as business customers, while private individuals in the cooperative can still hire us with RUT for their own patio or garden.
How does a cooperative or municipality contact you?
Through the form on this page, by e-mail or by phone. Briefly describe your areas and what you want maintained, and we will get back to you within 24 hours and book a free site visit.
Do you offer regular lawn mowing for housing cooperatives?
Yes. Mowing on fixed days throughout the season is the most common item in our maintenance contracts, together with edge trimming, weeding and hauling away the clippings. The frequency is set at the site visit, often every week or every other week from May to August.
How quickly can a contract start?
After the site visit and an approved quote, maintenance can start ahead of the coming season or at any time during the year. An urgent need, such as a neglected area, can begin with a one-off job that then turns into a contract.
