Spring is the perfect time to prepare your home for sale or rental, and your garden plays a crucial role in attracting buyers or tenants.
A well-maintained outdoor space enhances kerb appeal, makes listing photos stand out, and adds value to your property. If your garden has suffered through winter, now is the time to refresh it for the spring market. Here is how our professional garden services can help you make the best first impression.
Refresh and tidy up
Winter can leave gardens looking tired, with fallen leaves, bare flower beds and overgrown shrubs. Our team can:
Clear away dead leaves, weeds and debris
Trim hedges, trees and overgrown plants for a neat, well-maintained look
Refresh borders and flower beds with fresh mulch or bark
For more ways to keep your garden tidy, read our seasonal garden maintenance guide.
Revive your lawn
A patchy, dull lawn can detract from an otherwise attractive property.
We can:
Scarify and aerate your lawn to encourage healthy spring growth
Reseed or lay fresh turf to cover bare patches
Provide regular mowing and feeding to keep your lawn green and lush
If your lawn needs more intensive care, our lawn repair and restoration services can bring it back to life.
Add seasonal colour
Spring is all about fresh, vibrant colours, and adding seasonal plants can make your garden look welcoming in photos and viewings. We can:
Plant bright, seasonal flowers in beds, pots or hanging baskets
Choose low-maintenance options to keep your garden looking its best with minimal effort
Incorporate greenery to soften hard landscaping and create a natural flow
For inspiration, explore our best plants for a low-maintenance spring garden.
Improve outdoor living spaces
Outdoor areas are a big selling point for buyers and renters. We can:
Clean patios, decking and pathways with jet washing to remove dirt and algae
Arrange outdoor furniture for an inviting and practical space
Add subtle lighting to create evening ambience

Enhance your kerb appeal
First impressions count when selling your home, and a well-maintained front garden and exterior can make all the difference - a neat and well-kept garden suggests a cared-for home. Whether buyers are browsing online or visiting in person, the outside of your property sets the tone. Follow our kerb appeal checklist to make sure your home looks its best and attracts buyers from the moment they arrive:
