When your rental property has a vacancy, you may begin preparing to market and rent the place again. While you may invest in a thorough interior inspection to check for necessary maintenance and repairs, you do not want to forget about the exterior portion. Getting professional landscape maintenance can make a noticeable difference in rental marketing. 

Lawn Mowing

A well-kept landscape is essential to make the greatest impression on potential renters. A freshly and adequately mowed lawn is excellent to showcase in photos and videos.

While you may feel like you can do proper mowing, you will appreciate the expertise and level of precision to make your lawn look incredible. After the mowing is finished and the rest of the landscape maintenance is complete is the perfect time to take all new photos and videos.

Tree Trimming

Both young and mature trees may continue growing over time. So, your rental may have multiple trees that need to be trimmed after a tenant leaves. The trees might look a little overgrown, and some of the branches may even be an injury risk if they were to break. An easy solution is to get professionals to trim all the necessary branches. Fortunately, you will also find that the landscape and trees look cleaner and neater after the trimming is complete.

Debris Cleanup

A major part of keeping your landscape healthy is maintaining cleanliness. Debris can smother grass and plants and prevent them from getting the sunlight, water, and nutrients they need. A landscape company can thoroughly clean up debris to prepare the property for rent. Flowers, leaves, seeds, plant matter, and twigs are some of the debris you will find.

Plant Treatment

Cleaning up the entire landscape and inspecting the front yard and backyard will help professionals determine whether plant treatment is necessary. For instance, some plants or trees might not be as healthy as they could be. Instead of hoping that they recover over time, you can devise a treatment plan to maximize the chance of these plants thriving again.

Going through this process is worthwhile because you will find it easier and less time-consuming to care for and restore struggling plants than to grow new ones. Some concerns with growing new plants are that they can take a long time and may not grow successfully.

Hiring a landscape company for professional maintenance is a smart plan when you are going through a tenant vacancy with your rental property.
