☀️ Why End-of-Lease Garden Clean-Ups Matter
In Queensland’s rental market, first impressions count. When tenants move out, a messy yard or overgrown garden can mean lost bond money — and for property managers, delays in re-listing a property.
That’s where a professional end-of-lease garden clean-up from T-Squared Services makes the difference. We leave lawns trimmed, weeds gone, and outdoor areas photo-ready for inspections or new tenants.
🪴 The T-Squared 5-Step Checklist
1️⃣ Lawn Mowing & Edging
Overgrown lawns are the number one reason for failed final inspections. Our team uses precision mowers and whipper-snippers to leave perfect edges and tidy boundaries.
2️⃣ Weeding & Garden Beds
All visible weeds — driveway, path, and garden beds — should be removed. We also refresh mulch to restore colour and moisture.
3️⃣ Hedging & Pruning
Neatly trimmed hedges and pruned shrubs make a rental look cared for. Our team shapes plants safely and disposes of green waste on-site.
4️⃣ Leaf & Rubbish Removal
Tenants often forget patios, carports, and fence lines. We clear all leaves, sticks, and debris — plus remove any green waste piles — to leave the property spotless.
5️⃣ Final Detail & Inspection Ready
Before handing back keys, a quick detail clean ensures everything is inspection ready. We sweep hard surfaces, tidy edges, and give gardens that “finished” look.
🧠 Common Mistakes Tenants Make
Forgetting to mow edges or remove weeds from cracks
Leaving piles of green waste for the next tenant
Not trimming hedges to legal height before moving out
Forgetting to remove dead plants or replace damaged turf
These small oversights can lead to bond deductions — which are easily avoided with a professional clean-up.
