South Lakes Housing are able to offer garden maintenance for those elderly tenants who are not capable of doing the work themselves.

 

It is not possible to offer this service to all our elderly tenants so to qualify you must meet the following criteria:

 

 

The garden maintenance covers the cutting of grass and any hedges but does not include the maintenance of bushes, shrub beds and trees. In addition, extra work is often required to a garden before it is added to the list. If necessary, this work will also be carried out as a 'one off' only, prior to the maintenance outlined above.

 

The garden maintenance is carried out by a contractor appointed by South Lakes Housing who will have appropriate identification. It is important that you ask to see this before allowing any workmen into your property.

 

South Lakes Housing has a fixed budget every year in order to carry out this work and it may not always be possible to include everyone who applies on the current list. A Waiting List is therefore held in date order of registration.
