Year-Round Garden Bliss: The Ideal Maintenance Schedule for Your Outdoor Living Spaces
Throughout the year, your garden and outdoor living areas undergo a mesmerising transformation, each season unveiling its unique beauty and challenges. As the sun warms the earth in spring, colourful blooms burst forth, creating a vibrant tapestry of nature's wonders. Summer brings with it long, lazy days and the opportunity to relish the joys of al fresco living. The golden hues of autumn enchant us as leaves gracefully paint the ground with their farewell. And when winter arrives, a sense of calm blankets the landscape, inviting moments of introspection and cosiness.
But to truly embrace the magic of each season, your garden requires tender love and care. Garden maintenance should not be seen as just a chore; it is an investment in the wellbeing of your outdoor sanctuary. Beyond the apparent aesthetic benefits, a well-maintained garden holds profound importance for your health, safety and wellbeing, and can provide you with year-round enjoyment.
To ensure your outdoor spaces remain an environment you can truly enjoy, we recommend a tailored schedule of garden and outdoor maintenance services. The frequency of these services will depend on the needs of your property and may vary throughout the seasons.
Below is a general guideline for when and how often these services should be scheduled to benefit you and your garden, over a 12-month period.
Lawn Care:
Frequency: To maintain a healthy and thriving lawn, we recommend scheduling lawn care every 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the grass type and growth rate.
Ideal Period: From spring to autumn, when the grass is actively growing, regular maintenance is essential. In the winter months, you can get away with once a month.
Garden Maintenance:
Frequency: A beautifully maintained garden not only adds visual appeal but also ensures safety for you and your loved ones. Our suggested frequency for garden maintenance is once a month or as needed.
Ideal Period: Embrace the joy of a well-kept garden that delights your senses and offers a tranquil retreat, with year round maintenance.
Garden/Outdoor Clean-Up:
Frequency: Seasonal or as required.
Ideal Period: Seasons change, and so do your garden's needs. Prepare your outdoor sanctuary by scheduling a clean-up before and after each season.
