The benefits of regular garden maintenance in relocation properties

When it comes to property maintenance services for relocation properties the exterior of a property is just as important as the interior. In our last blog we discussed the cleaning services that make relocation easier. This week we’re sharing our insider tips on the benefits of regular garden maintenance for relocation properties.

Helping expats settle in
When providing relocation services you want to ensure that any company employees feel at home in the property. If you work with organisations who bring employees in from the far east, or countries with warmer climates the UK weather may come as somewhat of a shock to the system. Now, although you can’t transform the UK climate you can ensure that there is a pleasant outdoor area which can be enjoyed when the weather is nice.

Making sure the garden is suited to the expat’s family
If employees are relocated for prolonged periods they may 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 or hedges. Additionally, if the property has patio or paving it is essential that these are scrubbed or 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.

Ongoing garden maintenance to maintain consistently high standards
Managing the individual requirements of each garden and the changing seasons can be a challenge for relocation companies. By factoring in regular garden maintenance services it will ensure that the necessary gardening jobs are done and high standards are maintained. Whether mowing the lawn, tidying up borders, paths and driveways or simply trimming a hedge.
