4 Ways Rental Property Managers Improve Your Landscaping Management

When a rental property manager for your rental homes comes to mind, repairs and financial assistance are usually the first services owners think of. 

While those are definitely a huge part of a property manager’s job, we are also responsible for keeping your property’s landscaping looking great year-round. 

Let’s examine why landscaping management is essential to your property and how a rental property management team like Classic Property Management can go above and beyond standard lawn mowing for the curb appeal of your rental properties.

Why Does Landscaping Management Matter?

Your property’s landscaping is the first impression any visitor or potential renter will have when they visit your homes. Remember, aside from impressing the public and generating excellent curb appeal. great landscaping leads to:

• Increased rental property value
• Higher quality renters
• The possibility of higher rent 
• Renter longevity

4 Ways a Property Manager Can Improve Landscaping Management

Landscaping management does involve standard maintenance services, but working with a property manager can help keep your landscaping planning more organized, efficient, and delivering reliable results.

We Continuously Boost Your Curb Appeal

When your landscaping is in the hands of a property manager, services can either be performed by management themselves, or through affordable landscaping vendors they’ve established excellent relationships with.

Either way, if you want your rental property management team to actively boost your curb appeal, we are able to perform the following landscaping services:

• Lawn mowing
• Planting flowers to add a splash of color to your property
• Adding rocks to your landscaping
• Tree and shrub trimming
• Edge and walkway trimming

Contract Clarifications Between Renters

Sometimes landscape management is something that a landlord would like their renter to take care of on their own. In these instances, a property manager can help create clauses in the rental agreement that distinctly clarify the landscaping responsibilities a renter has.

If landscaping is part of the general contract, quality renters are likely going to keep up with your expectations and keep your landscaping in pristine condition. However, if the opposite happens, your contract has you protected and allows landlords to apply fees and other demerits where necessary.

Create Pet-Friendly Areas in Your Lease

Although we all love our furry friends, the truth is that their bathroom habits can leave a bad impression on your landscaping. While some landlords may be okay with the extra work involved with landscaping and pets, others may wish to create exclusive pet-friendly and no-pet zones on their properties.

Not only can rental property management help create these physical zones and their potential dividers, but we can also add these clauses to your lease and ensure every renter is notified of your property’s pet rules.

Renter Notifications

Eventually, work like pest control or other unavoidable landscaping maintenance will need to occur. As advanced landscaping practices are part of a property manager’s responsibility, we will also take charge and provide advanced notification of services to your renters.

Informing them of any in-depth landscaping maintenance on their property creates trust and allows renters to plan ahead for the work to come.
