Benefits of Regular Gardening Services

For any property manager, whether a relocation specialist or an asset manager with vacant properties, the exterior of a property is just as important as the interior.

In this blog we’re sharing our insider tips on the benefits of regular garden maintenance especially for relocation properties.

Why do I need regular maintenance?

Regular garden maintenance is an important part of managing a property portfolio.  Managing the individual requirements of each garden with the changing seasons can be a challenge for property managers. Seasonal gardening jobs will be carried out to maintain high standards throughout the year. Whether mowing the lawn, weeding, tidying up borders, paths and driveways or simply trimming a hedge, our experienced gardening contractors will always have your properties looking their best.

Relocation Companies

When providing relocation services you want to ensure that your company employees feel at home. If you work with organisations who bring employees in from countries with warmer climates the UK weather may come as a shock to them. We know we can’t control the UK climate but you can ensure that there is a pleasant outdoor area for them to enjoy when the weather is good.

Employees relocated for prolonged periods often bring their families with them. Making sure the gardens are safe and secure for children and pets is essential. This may require gardening jobs such as securing pond areas, repairing fences and trimming any overhanging tree branches and overgrown hedges. If the property has a patio, decking or paved areas, it is essential that these are pressure washed to avoid the build up of slippery moss or algae. If not done at regular intervals these slippery surfaces have the potential to cause injury to tenants.

Asset Managers

Whilst cost is often an overriding consideration, appearances matter! A fast turnaround of properties is essential and properties lacking in kerb appeal can take longer to move. It may be that a property has been vacant for a while and the garden is overgrown or full of rubbish. GMC can arrange for clearance quotes with photographs and manage the process for you. Our clearance contractor will safely dispose of all waste material and bring the garden back to condition and improving your chances of selling.

For more stubborn properties that don’t sell quickly, we offer a range of regular gardening services. These can be contracted on a regular or ad hoc basis and the level of service and frequency can be changed to suit each client’s needs. Please contact GMC for further details and pricing.
