3 Details to Focus on with Landscape Maintenance for a Vacation Rental

Blog

When you operate a vacation rental, you may know that you will have guests entering and leaving your home on a regular basis. Also, since the guest count may be rather high throughout an entire year, you may want to do everything that you can to impress everyone who stays at the rental.

While you will need to pay attention to a lot of details to keep the vacation rental in excellent condition, you should not hesitate to get help from landscape maintenance services. You should pay attention to certain details with landscape upkeep to maximize your success.

Watering

If you want to feel confident about your landscape staying healthy, you will need to make sure that everything is getting watered properly. This may require adjustments to your irrigation system on a monthly or seasonal basis depending on the type of year you are having.

A season with lower-than-average rainfall means that you will need to rely on your irrigation system more often to provide your landscape with enough water. A landscaping company can adjust the system to make sure your lawn, flowers, shrubs, and trees all get enough water. This may require adjustments to certain sprinklers as well as the irrigation system as a whole.

Cleanup

Naturally, you should expect the trees and shrubs on your property to create a decent amount of debris throughout the landscape. If you have messy trees that are known for leaving seeds, berries, and leaves all over the ground, you do not want to leave the mess to smother your grass. Landscaping professionals will clean everything up from your yard to make sure that all the plants on the ground stay healthy by not being covered in leaves that block out sunlight.

Mowing

After clearing out the debris from your yard, you will have an entire lawn that needs to be maintained. This is when you should expect professionals to mow the lawn. At this time, you will need to decide whether you want to go with an extra-short grass length to reduce how often you need to rely on professionals to come over to the vacation rental. Another option is going for a bit longer length, which will minimize the chance of the grass yellowing due to its shortness.

When you know what services you should be getting from landscaping professionals, you will feel more confident about investing in routine maintenance for your vacation rental.

Improving The Look Of Our Trees

After we moved into our house, we knew that something had to be done about our trees. The branches looked off-kilter, and we could tell that someone had pruned them incorrectly at one time or another. Unfortunately, we weren't really sure how to repair the damage. A family friend talked with us about hiring a professional tree trimmer, and so we called them the next day. The difference that they made was astounding. They removed dead branches, trimmed up the shape, and let more sunlight through. My blog is all about improving the look of your trees by hiring a professional.
