Garden Maintenance Scheme
Perth & Kinross Council provides a Garden Maintenance Service
for certain tenants who qualify. The scheme is open to
tenants who are aged 65 or over. Tenants who are under 65 and
are physically disabled also qualify, providing they are in receipt
of either Disability Living Allowance, Severe Disablement Allowance
or Attendance Allowance. In addition to the above conditions,
there must be no able-bodied person within the tenant's
household.
The Garden Maintenance Service provides the following assistance;
- Grass cut every fortnight between April and September (weather
permitting)
- Grass edges strimmed at every cut
- Grass cuttings bagged and removed
- Grass edges strimmed during every cut unless you have
stone chipped border.
- Where tenants have hedges, these will be cut once in March and
once in October. Cuttings will be collected and removed.
There is a charge of £52.80 per annum. The charge can
be spread over the year with your weekly rent.
If you are interested in applying for this scheme, please contact
