garden maintenance Kenya

“Landscaping services” can mean anything from a one-off garden cleanup to a full compound redesign with ongoing maintenance. If you’re comparing providers in Ruiru or Kiambu, here’s what a properly structured landscaping contract usually covers — and what to check before signing one. Design and installation This covers the initial work: garden layout, plant selection, lawn installation, and often cabro or paving for driveways and walkways. It’s typically a one-time project, priced by scope and materials rather than a recurring fee. Ongoing maintenance This is where most properties actually need a contract, not a one-off job — mowing, weeding, hedge and tree trimming, fertilising, and seasonal care. A well-run maintenance plan is usually scheduled monthly or quarterly depending on the size and complexity of the compound. Drainage and structural care Good landscaping isn’t just plants — it includes keeping drainage clear before the rainy season, preventing moss buildup on paving, and checking that irrigation systems are functioning. Neglecting this is one of the most common (and costly) landscaping mistakes property owners make. Bossy Services structures landscaping this way for homes, offices, and institutions across Ruiru, Kamakis, and greater Kiambu — starting with a site walkthrough, then a written scope covering design, installation, and maintenance frequency.
