Decorative aggregates are fast becoming the most popular choice with landlords for their
rental property gardens. Find out why in this article!
If
you are the owner of a rental property then the ongoing maintenance worries
will be something that you are very used to already. It is in your interests to
do anything which will help to lower the amount of attention that the property
needs as this will save you a lot of time and a lot of money too. Whether you
manage the property yourself or you employ a property management company to
handle things for you, it is well worth finding out about how to lessen the
amount of maintenance required, particularly in the garden. Read our article to
find out why decorative aggregates could be the solution you are looking for!
Decorate
aggregates come in all manner of shapes and colours, but the most popular ones
tend to be bark chippings and slate chippings. These are a brilliant addition to
any garden as not only do they look really appealing but they also go a long
way towards reducing the amount of regular maintenance that the garden
requires. Tenants are renowned for neglecting rental gardens and if you are not
careful you could find your garden turns into a jungle very rapidly.
What
Are The Benefits?
First
and foremost, adding decorate aggregates to your rental property’s garden means
that it will always look appealing with very little maintenance required.
Replacing traditional flowerbed soil with weed membrane and then bark chippings
means that weeds simply aren’t able to grow, and because the chippings retain
water so much better than soil, very limited watering is required. So even if
your tenants are lazy and don’t tend to the garden, it is not able to get
overgrown and unruly quite so easily. And if your property lies vacant for a
few weeks - or even months - there is no need to worry about the garden getting
out of control.
What
Are The Cost Implications?
Adding
decorative aggregates to your rental property’s garden is actually a very economical
solution. The materials itself are cheaper than you would expect, and when you
are doing your costings it’s important to bear in mind the amount of time and
money it will save you in maintenance. This explains why more and more
landlords are taken the decision to use decorative aggregates in their gardens.
