garden maintenance

Tending the beds

Garden maintenance is the ongoing work of keeping a garden healthy and attractive—mowing, weeding, pruning, watering, and similar tasks.

The term often appears in service contexts: We hired someone for garden maintenance, garden maintenance included in the HOA fees.

It emphasizes routine upkeep rather than design or installation.
