Regular garden maintenance for your rental property - lawn mowed, borders tidy, property always looking presentable for tenants and viewings.
### Keep Your Investment Looking Sharp
Scruffy gardens kill rental applications. **First impressions matter** - both for viewings and for keeping good tenants happy.
Problem is, not all tenants maintain gardens properly. And vacant properties between lettings can turn into jungles fast in Devon weather.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Regular garden maintenance is cheaper than emergency tidy-ups before viewings. It's also better for the property - neglected gardens cause damp issues and pest problems.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Multiple properties?** I can set up regular routes maintaining gardens across your whole portfolio. Same day each week/fortnight, one invoice, all sorted. **Seasonal differences:** Growing season (April-October) needs regular mowing. Winter usually just occasional tidying and leaf clearing. Adjust schedule to match. **Tenancy changeovers:** If you want garden tidy as part of end-of-tenancy prep, I can coordinate that with cleaning and other work. More efficient than separate visits. **Garden waste disposal:** I dispose of green waste properly - either composted or taken to the tip. Part of the service, no extra charges unless it's a major clearance.
Frequently Asked Questions about Garden maintenance rental in Dawlish
What's included in regular garden maintenance?
Lawn mowing, edging, weeding borders, hedge trimming as needed, clearing leaves in autumn, general tidying. Keeping the garden presentable rather than major landscaping - just regular upkeep so it always looks decent.
How often do rental gardens need maintaining?
Most rental gardens need mowing every 2-3 weeks in growing season (April-October), monthly or less in winter. Depends on the size and how fast it grows. I'll advise on the right schedule for your property.
Who pays for garden maintenance - landlord or tenant?
Tenancy agreement usually says tenants maintain the garden, but not all tenants bother. Some landlords arrange regular maintenance and pass the cost to tenants, others just factor it into the rent. Your call on how to handle it.
Can you maintain gardens while properties are empty between tenancies?
Yes - that's actually quite common. Property's vacant for a few weeks and the garden goes wild. Regular cuts keep it viewing-ready and prevent it becoming a jungle. Important if viewings are scheduled.
What if the garden's been neglected and needs a major tidy first?
I'll quote separately for getting it back to a manageable state, then give you a price for regular maintenance after that. Sometimes neglected gardens need a few hours' work initially, then regular upkeep is much quicker.
