Spring has sprung in Gwinnett! The flowers are blooming, the trees are green, and your grass is growing! Summer landscaping can become a hassle if your rental has a large lawn. Maintaining the grass at a decent length and staying clear of HOA violations can be tough if you have a busy schedule. Hiring a lawn service can become pricey after a month or two! Do you choose the lesser of two evils? No! There are other options to keep your lawn looking great! Here at Real Property Management of Greater Gwinnett, we love to see our properties looking their best, so here are some easy and efficient ways to stay on top of summer landscaping at your rental home!
Lessen Your Grass Space
Create A Garden
If you want a more interactive solution to less grass space, think about planting a garden! Plant some fruits and vegetables to liven up your yard, while also benefiting from your summer landscaping!
Just Mow It!
If planting gardens and flower beds are not something you want to do, think of easy solutions to mowing the grass. For example, hire a neighborhood kid to mow your lawn every other week. Chances are, there is at least one kid that wants to make a few extra bucks this summer! If you are up for the task, you could also shop around for cheaper, used landscaping equipment! Websites like Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp have deals on used items for sale! Buying your own equipment saves you the hassle of having to hire a service, or constantly borrow a mower from a neighbor! Sometimes, a larger investment is better than multiple smaller purchases!
Renting a property that has a large lawn can look like a hassle, but by cutting the corners (ha!) you can easily care for it! Regular summer landscaping is crucial to keep your yard looking its best! As mentioned earlier, you don’t want any HOA violations! By planting a garden or investing in your own lawn equipment, you can keep your lawn looking great all summer long without all the hassle!
