Gardens
We ask you to look after your garden. Please ensure that:
- gardens and verges are regularly trimmed, well maintained and free from rubbish
- boundary hedges are trimmed at least once a year and kept to below 2 metres in height
- any ditches or water courses are kept free flowing and not blocked in any way
If you want to remove any trees or boundary hedges you will need our written consent. Please contact the housing Business Unit on 01395 517458 or email businessunit@eastdevon.gov.uk
Please do not plant any trees, hedges or large shrubs which are likely to become dangerous, cause nuisance to your neighbours or damage to property. If you are in doubt please ask us for advice.
If you are finding it difficult to maintain your garden we may be able to offer assistance in some circumstances. For more information on our garden maintenance scheme, click here.
Did you know that each year we organise a Garden Competition which any council tenant is welcome to enter. For more details please go to our page on the Garden Competition 2007
