Whether you realize it or not, the garden on your rental property could be the thing that gets future tenants fighting over leasing it or deciding to stay long-term. After all, common sense dictates that having a highly desirable outdoor space will see your property rented out faster than one that has had its outdoor space left looking like a vacant lot.

Of course, you’ll want to achieve this on a budget. Being savvy with your design and the products can mean that you can get the look that means your property is shaped up quickly without breaking the bank, either at the start or in future upkeep.

Choose low-maintenance options

When it comes to rental property, you are going to want to make sure that you make the garden area as low maintenance as possible. This is because you are not going to want your tenants trying to make alterations or improvements to your property and devaluing it, nor are you going to want to spend ages between tenants sorting it out and ensuring it looks great again.

Attractive fence panels for both back gardens and front yards

Some eye-catching improvements can be made to a garden area that is immensely low-cost and easy to install yourself. For instance, you could try composite fence kits; these are available in various colors and sizes and have a host of attractive additions so that you can personalize your rental property, including fitted solar lights to the fence posts and fitting decorative trellis to heighten fence panels or just create interest.

Additions of screens

You can install beautiful composite screens to hide unsightly areas of your rental property, such as where you keep the trash cans. Having trash cans in full sight may put your potential tenants off of renting your property, and keeping them in your garage is neither hygienic nor practical. This is because nobody wants to look out of their windows and see them in plain view or, for that matter, see them when they leave the front of the house (depending on the whereabouts of the property they are stored). However, if you provide a special place and have them hidden from view, it could improve the overall impact of the property.

Of course, composite screens can be used for other purposes, too, such as providing more privacy in the garden area from nosey neighbors, changing the flow or eye line of a long, thin garden, or providing that all important piece of artwork that most low maintenance gardens can lack.

Installing a decking area

Installing a composite decking area will give the garden a defining look and give your potential tenants an idea of what they can use it for. This will undoubtedly have them visualizing lounging in the area or using the garden as an outdoor eating area, especially if you are thinking of providing a BBQ feature or even a very small summerhouse on the decking as well.

All composite fixtures can be easily cared for and require no real maintenance at all other than cleaning every now and then. They do not rot, split, rust, or decay and so can be seen as an investment to any property rental or otherwise.
