How often should you provide landscaping services to your rental property?
The answers for this question can be very ample.
What size is the property? Is it about maintenance, regeneration/restoration or it is just about the seasonal look? What type of landscape and what level of ornamental planting is there? What are the proportions of the soft and hard areas? What is the level of access and traffic within the space? What is the purpose of the building? What type of activities are taking place and what age groups use the space?
...and the questions could go on... but the most important one is: How much money are you willing to allocate for this purpose?
From the landscape management point of view a sufficient service sould be provided in order to at least preserve the existing look of the place. The level of service has a direct impact on the value of the property. Through landscaping services it is imperative to minimise the negative impact on the property and therefore the budget should be determined by the amount of work necessary to at least maintain the same level of financial value of the property. Anything less than that should not be considered by the contractor as a contract and should be paid on a ''pay per visit'' plan. Always, examples of negative landscaping services are blamed on the contractor when the budget cannot cover the requirements for a minimum standard look of the place.
