OUTSIDE AREAS

Front & Back Garden *Landscaping works June/July 2024*:  Both the front and back lawn landscaped to feature new mow path borders to make mowing the lawn easier. The lawn is also in the process of being restored/reseeded. Tenants are expected to mow and rake the lawn (tools provided in shed) regularly during Spring/Summer to keep on top of excessive weed growth. The edges of both gardens feature wild lawn areas planted with pretty Spring/Summer flowing bulbs including bluebells, tulips, daffodils and snowdrops- the Landlord's gardener will strim and maintain these areas in early June and late September, plus prune the trees in the back garden and shrubs at the front. There are decorative slate covered beds in both gardens which are ideal for potted plants should tenants have green fingers. Note: there is a garden chest behind the shed. It is not part of the tenancy and is locked to prevent access. The shed is part of the tenancy.
