yard care

Tending outdoor grounds

Yard care is the maintenance of outdoor residential grounds—mowing lawns, trimming hedges, raking leaves, weeding gardens.

The term covers routine upkeep rather than major landscaping projects: We hired a service for yard care while we were traveling.

Yard care often appears in classified ads and HOA regulations.
