Top tips

Hiring a gardener, without the regret.

Four moves that separate a smooth job from a nightmare.

Hidden Rubbish

Discovering old furniture or household waste buried under overgrown brambles which increases disposal costs.

Access Issues

Not being able to get mowers or large bags through narrow hallways or side gates.

Weather Delays

Heavy rain can make lawn mowing impossible without damaging the turf, potentially delaying your move-out schedule.

Invasive Species

Finding Japanese Knotweed or Giant Hogweed, which require specialist (and expensive) removal by law.
