Every job is different, but a typical tidy-up includes lawn mowing, hedge trimming, weeding, garden bed refresh, pressure washing of hard surfaces, new bark / stones placements, and full green waste removal. We tailor the scope to what will make the biggest impact on first impressions and buyer appeal. If you need extras like planting or minor landscaping, we can handle that too.
Even well-kept homes benefit from a professional tidy-up. We know how to spot the small details that buyers notice, like scruffy edges, mouldy paths, or overgrown shrubs that block light.
