My Garden

If you have a garden with your home, you are responsible for maintaining it and keeping it tidy.

This includes:

• regular lawn mowing
• trimming hedges and bushes
• making sure that weeds, plants and bushes don't grow into neighbouring gardens or on to pathways.
• keep your garden free from waste and litter and clear up after your pets if you have them.

The responsibility to maintain your garden is the same whether you:

• have direct access to a garden from your home (such as if you live in a house or ground floor flat) or,
• live in a flat or maisonette and have been given sole use of a garden area within the grounds of your block.
