Garden Services

The Garden Task Force carries out a wide range of general garden maintenance work for tenants and residents of Sandwell.

Garden Services ImageTheir duties include cutting, lopping or maintenance of small or medium sized hedges and shrubberies, strimming or cutting back of grass, nettles and brambles in areas causing access problems to elderly or disabled tenants and the lopping or cutting back of bushes or small trees that are causing access problems.

The garden task force service is available to any Sandwell Homes tenant who is a senior citizen (aged over 60) or has a physical impairment which prevents them carrying out garden based activities and they have no dependants living in the household who could carry out this type of work for them.
