Your Property Manager will ensure that an annual order is in place with a gardening or landscaping company for them to attend periodically throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There may also be reactive repairs raised for ad-hoc works that are not regular enough to be included within the annual order (jet washing of pathways, etc). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstport.co.uk\/my-home\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"709\">Sign up to My Home<\/a> to view the annual orders raised and check the contractors\u2019 attendance dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some instances, there may be areas of the estate owned by a third party, as the local council, meaning they will not be maintained by FirstPort. For any information regarding this land, you will need to contact their owners or managing agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents in independent retirement living developments may be able to plant flowers or shrubs in the communal garden, so if you are a keen gardener please get in touch with your Development Manager.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"help-topic":[15],"class_list":["post-823","help-support","type-help-support","status-publish","hentry","help-topic-maintenance-improvements-repairs"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.firstport.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/help-support\/823","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.firstport.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/help-support"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.firstport.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/help-support"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.firstport.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"help-topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.firstport.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/help-topic?post=823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
