Gardeners in Milton Keynes: Homeowners vs renters

For homeowners:

You’re generally responsible for your garden’s upkeep. If you're hiring a gardener, there are no legal hoops. Just make sure to:

1. Confirm what’s included in the quote
2. Check waste removal is covered
3. Keep a record of costs for your own budgeting

For renters:

Responsibility depends on your tenancy agreement. If it states you must maintain the garden, a one-off or regular service might be a good idea. Some renters split gardening costs with housemates or neighbours with shared gardens. If the work involves structural changes or large landscaping jobs, speak to your landlord or letting agent before hiring.
