yard maintenance

Outdoor property upkeep

Yard maintenance is the ongoing work of keeping outdoor residential property in good condition—mowing lawns, trimming hedges, raking leaves, weeding gardens, and similar tasks.

The term often appears in rental agreements or homeowner association rules specifying responsibilities: Yard maintenance is the tenant's responsibility.

A yard maintenance service handles these chores professionally.
