Garden tidied and made presentable - overgrown areas cut back, lawn mowed, paths cleared. Property viewing-ready fast.
### From Jungle to Viewing-Ready
Tenants move out and the garden's a state. Or it's been vacant for a month and **nature's taken over**. Either way, you've got viewings booked and need it looking decent.
A scruffy garden kills rental applications. Simple as that.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Newton Abbot's rental market is competitive. Properties with tidy gardens let faster and for better rent. £100 spent on garden tidy saves weeks of void period.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Full property turnaround?** I can coordinate garden tidy as part of complete end-of-tenancy preparation - cleaning, repairs, decorating, garden, everything. More efficient than separate visits. **Regular maintenance after?** Once we've got it tidy, you might want to set up regular maintenance to keep it that way. Often cheaper than repeated emergency tidy-ups between tenancies. **Badly neglected gardens:** Sometimes gardens need more than one visit to get them properly sorted. I'll be honest about what's realistic - might need initial clearance then a follow-up tidy. **Best time to book:** Early in the week for weekend viewings. Or as soon as tenants give notice if you know the garden's been neglected.
Frequently Asked Questions about Garden tidy rental in Newton Abbot
What's included in a garden tidy?
Lawn mowed, edges strimmed, borders weeded, paths cleared, any overgrown shrubs cut back, rubbish cleared away, green waste disposed of properly. Basically getting the garden from scruffy to presentable - not a full landscaping job, just making it look cared for.
How bad does the garden need to be for this service?
Anything from 'needs a good mow' to 'hasn't been touched in months and looks like a jungle'. I'll be honest after seeing photos - sometimes badly neglected gardens need more than one visit, but most rental gardens just need a solid few hours' work.
Can you do it same-day if I've got viewings booked?
I'll do my best to fit urgent jobs in, especially if viewings are scheduled. Call as early as possible and I'll see what I can do. If the garden's really overgrown though, it might not be practical to get it perfect in a few hours - I'll be straight with you.
What happens to all the green waste?
I dispose of it properly - either composted or taken to the tip with my waste carrier license. Part of the service, included in the price. You won't have massive piles of cuttings left on the property.
Is this a one-off or can you set up regular maintenance?
Either or both. Some landlords want a one-off tidy between tenancies, others want regular maintenance to keep on top of it. We can do initial tidy then set up fortnightly/monthly visits if you want - usually works out cheaper than repeated one-offs.
