Garden maintenance and grounds care across the UK.

Garden and grounds maintenance covers everything from a quick lawn mow to a complete garden redesign. EzeAla's AI distinguishes between jobs that need a general gardener, a landscape contractor, or a specialist arborist — and dispatches the right person.

**Regular garden maintenance**

For landlords and homeowners wanting ongoing grounds maintenance, EzeAla supports regular contracts — fortnightly lawn mowing, monthly tidying, seasonal clearances. Your preferred tradesperson is saved to your account so you get the same person each time.

**Tree work and arboriculture**

Tree work is one of the most hazardous tasks in property maintenance. Chainsaw work at height requires specialist training (CS30 and CS31 certificates at minimum) and appropriate insurance. EzeAla routes tree work jobs to qualified arborists only.

Importantly, trees in Conservation Areas and those with Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) cannot be pruned or felled without prior written consent from the local planning authority. Failure to comply can result in criminal prosecution and fines of up to £20,000. EzeAla's tree specialists check TPO status before quoting.

**Patio and hard landscaping**

New patios, block paving, retaining walls, and drainage improvements are landscaping jobs requiring planning, groundwork skills, and appropriate drainage knowledge. A poorly laid patio can cause flooding and subsidence. EzeAla routes hard landscaping to qualified contractors with public liability insurance.
