Doncaster Council

Garden maintenance for tenants who are not capable of doing the work themselves

The Council is able to offer garden maintenance for some tenants who are not capable of doing the work themselves, on behalf of St Leger Homes of Doncaster.

However, it is not possible to offer this service to all tenants so to qualify tenants must meet the following criteria:

1. Over 60 years of age and/or registered disabled.
2. Physically unable to do the work themselves.
3. No other person living with you or within reasonable distance able to help maintain your garden.

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 may also be carried out as a 'one off' only, prior to the maintenance outlined above.

The garden maintenance is carried out by Doncaste Council staff who will have appropriate identification. It is important that you ask to see this before allowing any workmen into your property.

If you feel that you meet the criteria for garden maintenance, then please contact us using the details above, or alternatively please complete the online form below.
