Whether you choose to maintain your garden once a week, twice a month, or once a month, you should know that not all gardening tasks can be completed in inclement weather, especially when it's raining.
Regular garden upkeep is essential for a healthy garden. It's important to keep an eye on your garden and remove any plants that appear to be dying or infected regularly to prevent wasting resources and to spread illness.
Lawn maintenance and garden upkeep are often the responsibility of the tenant. However, it is subject to negotiation at the outset of the lease. Typically, the landlord must handle tree trimming, weed spraying, and plant removal.
Choose long-lived plants such as shrubs or perennials. Disease-resistant, heat- and cold-hardy plants that don't require staking and won't spread by seed are also desirable in low-maintenance landscaping.
