Summer is the perfect time to spruce up your outdoor space, and a professional strata garden maintenance company can help you do just that.

Garden maintenance for strata properties focuses on mowing the lawn, trimming and pruning shrubs, and planting flowers and trees to keep your outdoor areas looking the best they have. With the weather getting warmer too, occupants are likely to host more outdoor activities like barbecues.

With the right expertise and professional help, your tenants will be able to enjoy their surroundings with blooming flowers and pristine green lawns. Here are some ways that a reputable strata garden maintenance company can help maintain your outdoor space.

Knowing how and when to water your garden

With summer approaching, you might try to focus on ensuring that your tenants aren’t affected by the intense summer heat, but there are plenty of alternatives for relief from the heat. Outdoor plants, however, might be a challenge to take care of.

While frequently watering the plants and the lawn is a way to prevent them from drying out, what’s more important is the way you water them.

Here’s how a strata maintenance service will take care of the greenery surrounding your property:

  • Watering deeply instead of overwatering the plants for adequate hydration
  • Watering the lawns every week with at least an inch of water
  • Watering will be done at times when plants tend to absorb more water
  • Watering with drip irrigation to allow plants to get water gradually without any runoff

Mowing your lawn properly

With more tenants preferring to spend their free time having outdoor picnics or just relaxing under the sun, you might want to keep the lawn grass short. Frequently mowing the lawn, however, may not always control the growth of the grass.

Mowing your grass too often can actually damage your grass and may even leave you with higher expenses to bring it back to its original condition. A strata service that specialises in garden maintenance can help you stay on track and maintain your lawn in a way that doesn’t damage the integrity or aesthetic of the lawn.

While you may think that maintaining a lawn only requires frequent mowing, a maintenance service will use proper techniques to keep your lawn in good condition, which can help improve and maintain the standards of your strata property.

Using the right tools to maintain your strata garden

One of the most important parts of maintaining your strata property’s garden is to use the right tools. Without possessing the right experience, you may think that a lawnmower and a pair of hedge clippers can help you get the job done. 

This isn’t the case, however, as it isn’t enough to leave your garden looking like it’s been handled by a professional garden maintenance service.

Strata maintenance services that handle garden maintenance will possess all the necessary tools for the best result. Professional equipment used by garden maintenance professionals includes shovels, garden spades, gardening gloves, trowels, rakes, and garden forks.

Strata maintenance crews are trained to expertly use professional garden maintenance tools and have a much better understanding of the tools that are required for each task. They also have the necessary items to help spruce up your strata garden.

Hiring professionals to undertake garden maintenance of your strata property guarantees that as a property manager, you don’t have to worry about sourcing these tools.
