Rental property garden maintenance in Earlswood

Earlswood rental gardens kept tidy between tenants, with photos to show how each one was left.

Rental property garden maintenance in Earlswood usually means one of two jobs. Either a garden has come back overgrown at the end of a tenancy and needs putting right before the next let, or a landlord wants it looked after regularly so it never gets that bad in the first place.

We do both, for landlords, letting agents and developers, and it makes no difference whether the house is a Victorian terrace or a newer family home. We’ll send photos when the job’s done, so you have a dated record of how the garden was left. That’s handy at check-in and check-out.

Do landlords have to maintain gardens?

It depends on the tenancy agreement. Many make the tenant responsible for everyday jobs like mowing and weeding, with the landlord keeping hold of bigger things such as hedges and boundaries. In practice, plenty of gardens still come back shaggy, and on Earlswood’s clay a missed summer really shows. A regular visit through the growing season costs less than a full clearance at the end, and it keeps the property looking right for viewings. Landlord garden maintenance on a set schedule takes the argument out of it.

Rental property garden maintenance between tenants and on new plots

End of tenancy garden clearance is usually urgent, because the next tenant is waiting. We cut back, clear brambles and weeds, trim hedges, mow and edge, and take every bit of waste away, which matters on a terrace with no side access and nowhere to pile it. For developers, new turf on clay needs care in its first season, because it’s often laid over compacted ground that puddles in winter. We’ll keep show homes and finished plots mown, edged and watered for viewing days.

Landlords and developers in Earlswood: your questions

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

Can you arrange access with the tenant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. We’ll agree a time with them, or collect keys from the letting agent if the property is empty.

Do you send photos of the work?

Yes, of the finished job every time, so you have a record for the inventory or any deposit discussion.

Can you keep an empty rental tidy between tenancies?

Yes. If a property is empty for a few weeks, a visit or two keeps the lawn cut and the front tidy, so it doesn’t look neglected to anyone coming to view it.

How much is a garden tidy-up between tenancies?

It depends on the size, how overgrown it is and the access. We’ll look, or work from photos if you can’t meet us there, and give you a fixed price.
