Landlord garden maintenance in Brockham

Rental gardens kept presentable between tenants, with photos sent to you or your letting agent.

Landlord garden maintenance in Brockham mostly means family houses. Detached and semi-detached homes make up the bulk of the parish, many with proper gardens, and a tenant working long hours can’t always keep a clay lawn and a laurel hedge in hand. Left for a year, a back garden here can turn into a clearance job by the time the tenancy ends.

We do end-of-tenancy tidy-ups, regular upkeep while a property is let, and smartening up before viewings. Every finished job comes with photos for you or your agent, which helps if there’s ever a deposit question. We can pick up keys at the agent’s office, which saves you the trip over.

End of tenancy garden clearance

An end of tenancy garden clearance usually means a long lawn, beds full of weeds and a hedge that’s put on a foot or two. We cut and edge, weed, trim hedges once they’ve been checked for nests, clear everything away and send photos. If the next tenant is moving in soon after, we can set up regular visits so the garden doesn’t slide the same way again. On a clay lawn a tenant has mown short all summer, we lift the cutting height for the next few visits so the grass has some cover again before the next let.

Landlord garden maintenance: who’s responsible?

So, do landlords have to maintain gardens in a Brockham let? The tenancy agreement decides, so it’s worth reading yours. Many make the tenant responsible for basic upkeep like mowing and weeding, while the landlord keeps boundaries, trees and anything needing equipment or expertise. In practice plenty of landlords build rental property garden maintenance into the rent, because it protects the property and avoids an argument at check-out. We’re happy either way: regular visits paid by you, or a one-off at changeover.

Landlords and developers in Brockham: your questions

Anything else, just ring. You’ll speak to the people who do the work.

Can my letting agent book you instead of me?

Yes. Agents can book visits, arrange keys and receive invoices and photos. We’ll copy you in if you’d like.

How much does rental garden upkeep cost?

It depends on the garden, the state it’s in and how often you want us. We’ll look and give you a fixed price per visit, or for the one-off job.

Do you look after new-build plots or show homes?

Yes, across our area. We’ll have show gardens cut, edged and tidy before viewing days, and look after communal areas on new estates until they’re handed over.
