As part of our comprehensive property factoring services, we partner with expert commercial landscaping services to enhance and maintain your green spaces. We only work with trusted local gardening professionals and landscaping companies who share our commitment to quality service. Our range of gardening services includes a team of gardeners who are:

Fully insured and health & safety compliant
Professionally trained in gardening management for properties
Supervised by our property manager for quality assurance

Whether it’s ongoing landscaping, property management or seasonal updates, we ensure the job is completed with precision and care.

3. Tailored to Each Development

No two developments are the same, and neither are our landscaping property factoring plans. From retirement properties to traditional tenements, our property factoring services include gardening services that are tailored to:

The size and style of your development
Environmental or planning constraints
Resident preferences and committee input

4. Communication & Oversight

Our approach to gardening property management is transparent and responsive. As experienced property factors, we:

Maintain clear communication with owners and committees
Share maintenance schedules and visit reports
Conduct routine site inspections to ensure high standards are met
Adjust service levels based on seasonal needs or adverse weather

5. Budget Management & Value for Money

As part of our property factoring services, we:

Provide clear, itemised costs for all gardening and landscaping work
Compare quotes from trusted contractors to ensure fair, competitive pricing
Keep committees informed of spend, so there are no surprises at review time

We can also create maintenance planners and schedules depending on the development to avoid expensive emergency repairs.

This gives owners confidence that their budget is being managed responsibly, without compromising on the standard of work.

As your gardening property factors, we ensure your green spaces are well-preserved and valued. Let’s work together to transform your outdoor areas into something truly special.

Please note: We do not provide landscaping management for properties as a separate account. Landscaping services vary between developments. They also depend on your title deeds and agreed service arrangements.

Routine grounds maintenance may be included in your factoring services. Larger projects, improvements or garden redesigns are usually treated as additional works. These may need homeowner approval and a separate budget.

Maintaining Communal Outdoor Spaces for Various Properties

Taylor & Martin work with contractors to provide garden landscaping services to a wide variety of properties across Scotland. Every property type has different needs, and we use local landscapers who understand the requirements of the surrounding area and grounds.

Traditional Tenements

Traditional tenements often have compact courtyards or shared gardens. These need regular, practical upkeep to stay tidy and functional for residents.

Retirement Developments

Retirement developments usually need low-maintenance, accessible landscaping, with clear block paving for driveways and paths to residents, a popular choice to prevent tripping.

New-Build Developments

New-build developments often feature freshly laid turf and young planting and even children’s play areas.

Luxury Apartment Developments

Luxury apartment developments typically call for a higher standard of landscaping, with attention to detail across patios, flower beds and enclosed garden areas for privacy. Here, customised features like gates can improve the design and security, but need additional maintenance.

Types of Garden Landscaping We Manage

Our maintenance services for professional landscaping cover both hard and soft landscaping, so every project is handled by tradespeople with the right expertise.

Soft Landscaping

Proper plant selection and installation reduces maintenance costs and helps prevent future repairs. Soft landscaping also includes:

Garden maintenance and mowing
Planting and flower beds
Turfing and artificial grass
Raised beds
Irrigation systems

Hardscaping

Hardscaping covers the non-living features of a garden or communal area, such as:

Patios
Decking
Walkways
Fencing

FAQs

What landscaping services are included in my factoring fee?

That depends on the terms of your property’s title deeds and the scope of services agreed for your development.

Routine gardening services, such as grounds maintenance, are often covered through communal maintenance arrangements. Larger landscaping projects or garden redesign work may require separate approval and additional funding from homeowners.

As your property factor, we can advise on the services included in your development and on the procedures for proposing improvement works.

What happens if owners are unhappy with the landscape gardener's standard of work?

We stay in regular communication with residents and take any concerns seriously. If issues are raised about the standard of work, we investigate them promptly, liaise directly with the contractor and monitor any corrective action required.

As part of our role as property factors, we help ensure communal grounds are maintained to an appropriate standard and keep residents informed throughout the process.

How are gardening companies selected?

We work with trade-specific, professional landscaping businesses, chosen for their expertise and reliability in grounds maintenance.
