Tips for Tenants: How to Maintain a Beautiful Landscape
At Baugh Rentals, we believe that a well-maintained landscape not only enhances the beauty of our property but also contributes to a positive living environment for all our tenants. While our professional landscaping team takes care of the majority of the work, there are several things tenants can do to help maintain a beautiful landscape. Here are some tips to help you take an active role in nurturing and preserving the outdoor spaces at your rental home.
1. Regularly Water Your Plants
In many regions, especially during dry seasons, it’s crucial to ensure that your plants and lawn receive sufficient water. Be mindful of local watering restrictions and consider using soaker hoses or drip irrigation to ensure efficient water usage.
2. Mow and Trim the Lawn
If your rental property includes a lawn, regularly mow and trim the grass to keep it looking neat and healthy. You can ask your property management company for guidelines on the ideal grass length for your region.
3. Remove Weeds
Keep an eye out for weeds and remove them promptly. Regular weeding prevents them from taking over and competing with your plants for nutrients and water.
4. Clean Up Regularly
Keep your outdoor space tidy by picking up any litter or debris. This small effort goes a long way in maintaining a clean and attractive landscape.
5. Communicate with Your Property Manager
If you notice any issues with the landscape, such as damaged irrigation systems or unhealthy plants, don’t hesitate to bring it to the attention of your property manager. They will appreciate your proactive approach to ensuring the landscape remains in top condition.
6. Fertilize and Mulch
If permitted by your property management company, consider adding fertilizer and mulch to your garden beds. These additions help nourish the soil and plants, promoting a lush and healthy landscape.
7. Respect the Landscape
Lastly, always be mindful of how your activities may impact the landscape. Avoid damaging plants or lawn areas with heavy equipment, and use walkways and designated areas for outdoor activities to prevent unnecessary wear and tear.

By following these simple tips, you can play a significant role in maintaining a beautiful landscape at your rental property. A well-kept outdoor space enhances the overall appeal of the community and creates a more enjoyable environment for everyone. We appreciate our proactive tenants who contribute to the upkeep of our properties and look forward to seeing the stunning landscapes that result from these collective efforts.
