Why Should You Get Regular Maintenance?
Gardens are a popular environment for socialising, especially in today’s climate! However, when you don’t have enough time on your hands, your garden can begin looking a little overgrown and neglected. Green spaces are great, not only for encouraging wildlife, but promoting good health and mental well-being. Undoubtedly, no one wants to look out their windows and see a messy, unkept garden. Even if you keep on top of your garden, having regular maintenance will certainly promote a strong upkeep of your green space!
Can I Afford It?
Firstly, you may think that having regular maintenance will cost you a fortune, it will in fact do the opposite! The cost of rectifying your garden if it were to grow out of control, could subsequently cost an awful lot more. Additionally, having a well-maintained garden can add as much as 20% onto the value of your home! A garden that is neat and tidy is more likely to draw in any potential buyers in the future, should you ever wish to sell your property.
Typically, work is carried out weekly or fortnightly to ensure the maintenance of your garden is to a high standard. However, some of our clients here at Blue Iris Landscapes use us on an ad-hoc basis (as required). Similarly, this could be another alternative if you regularly work on your garden and only require work on odd jobs!

Additional Factors to Why Regular Maintenance Could Benefit You
Weeding
Weeds are annoying and frustrating. They can block sunlight and consume all the nutrients from your soil, leaving your plants with little nourishment. Regular weeding will enable your plants to be the healthiest they can be, allowing them to thrive with rich nutrients!
Fertilisation
Is your lawn looking a little dull? Depending on the soil type in your garden, it might not be receiving enough nutrients. Regularly fertilising your lawn will provide your soil with the nourishment it needs, alongside keeping your lawn fresh and vibrant!
Safety
Keeping your borders trimmed back will reduce the risk of any scratches/scrapes from sharp plants which may have overgrown. The sharp leaves, thorns, plants can also entangle themselves into children’s clothes, hair and even cut or scratch their skin. Overgrown plants / weeds can also be a safety hazard for other factors. The expanding roots can lift paving, lightweight structures (such as sheds/garages). Plants additionally can stretch out over paving/walkways posing trip hazards.
Appearance
On a whole, the main factor as to why people get regular maintenance is to boost the appearance of their garden. The first impression someone will receive from you house is your front garden. You want it to give the right impression of you and your home!
