Rental property garden maintenance in Redhill

Tidy-ups between tenancies, regular upkeep and new-build plots for Redhill landlords and agents.

Redhill is a renters’ town as much as an owners’ one. At the 2011 census only about a fifth of households in Redhill East owned their home outright, and the town centre keeps adding flats. Rental property garden maintenance in Redhill matters because the garden is usually the first thing to slide between tenancies, and the first thing a viewer sees.

We tidy gardens at changeover, keep let properties on a regular schedule, and keep new-build plots and show homes right for viewing days. We send photos of the finished job, so you have a record of how the garden was left.

Do landlords have to maintain gardens?

That comes down to what the tenancy agreement says. Many make the tenant responsible for keeping the garden tidy, while leaving bigger jobs such as large hedges or trees with the landlord. In practice, plenty of Redhill gardens come back at check-out with a knee-high lawn and a hedge over the path. A regular landlord garden maintenance visit, monthly or fortnightly, takes the argument away and protects the property. For shared houses, where nobody feels the garden is theirs, it’s often the only thing that works.

Rental property garden maintenance on new-build plots

Redhill has seen some large new developments, Watercolour on the old Holmethorpe quarry among them, and new homes keep coming. Fresh turf and young planting need regular attention in the first season, especially on greensand, where new turf can dry out within days in a warm spell. We’ll keep show homes and finished plots mown, edged and watered so they look right for viewings, and we can carry on with the communal areas once the management company takes over.

Landlords and developers in Redhill: your questions

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

How quickly can you do an end of tenancy garden clearance?

Usually within a week or so. Ring us with the address and the check-out date and we’ll give you a slot. It helps to call as soon as you know the tenant is leaving.

Can you look after several properties?

Yes. Plenty of landlords and agents have a few addresses across RH1. We’ll put them on one schedule and one invoice.

Do you send photos?

Yes. We’ll send photos of the finished garden, which are handy for the inventory, the deposit conversation or just your own records.

Do you look after communal areas on new estates?

Yes. Once a development is handed over, we can keep the shared verges, beds and hedges on a written annual schedule for the management company, with a fixed price invoiced monthly or quarterly.
