Rental property garden maintenance in Dorking

Tidy-ups between tenancies and regular upkeep for Dorking landlords, agents and developers.

Rental property garden maintenance in Dorking covers a wide spread of homes. The town’s rental stock takes in interwar houses, the post-war estates at Chart Downs and Goodwyns, plenty of flats, and larger detached houses on the hillier roads. Each comes back from a tenancy in its own state, and the garden is the first thing the next viewer sees.

Landlord garden maintenance with us is simple. We handle end of tenancy garden clearance, keep rental gardens on a regular schedule, and get show homes and new plots ready for viewings. When the job’s done we send photos, so you’ve a record of how the garden was left.

Rental property garden maintenance at the end of a tenancy

Plenty of tenancy agreements ask the tenant to keep the garden tidy. Plenty of gardens still come back with the lawn at knee height and the hedge halfway across the path. We’ll cut, weed, trim and clear it back to a state you can let again, and take every scrap of green waste away. On heavy clay, a lawn ignored for a year often needs a couple of cuts to recover, so we’ll say upfront if one visit won’t get it there.

Do tenants have to maintain the garden?

The tenancy agreement decides it. Many put basic upkeep like mowing and weeding on the tenant and keep bigger jobs, such as hedge reductions, with the landlord. Either way, plenty of tenants don’t have the kit or the time. For HMOs, older tenants, or houses where the garden keeps slipping, a regular visit built into the rent is often cheaper than an annual rescue. We’ll set a schedule at a fixed price, invoiced monthly or quarterly.

Landlords and developers in Dorking: your questions

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

Can you deal with the letting agent directly?

Yes. We’re happy to arrange access through the agent and send them the photos once the job’s done, so you don’t need to be in the middle.

Do you prepare show homes and new plots?

Yes: lawns cut and striped, edges crisp, beds weeded and planted up before a viewing day. New-build turf is often laid over thin topsoil on compacted ground, so we treat it gently for its first season or two.

How much does rental garden maintenance cost?

It depends on the size of the garden, the state it’s in, and how often you want us. After a look round we’ll send a fixed figure. Regular visits work out better value than repeated one-off clearances.
