Garden and Green Space Maintenance Contract
A tailored service designed to take care of your garden.
A garden is constantly evolving. Plants grow, soils change, and the seasons impose their rhythm. Without organisation, maintenance becomes reactive and sometimes ineffective.
This is precisely the difference between agarden and green space maintenance contractand a one-off intervention.
At Vert Val, the maintenance contract is based on a simple logic: anticipate, structure, and follow through over time.
✽ Our Offer
Maintenance Contract vs One-off Intervention
A tailored service to maintain the beauty of your garden throughout the year.
1. The One-off Intervention
A unique service that meets a specific need
hedge trimming
restoration of a flowerbed
patio cleaning
scarification or exceptional mowing
The garden is assessed on the same day. We intervene, carry out the requested work, and then leave.
There is no structured follow-up over time.
This option is suitable for:
a simple garden
an urgent need
a tidy-up before an event
2. The Garden Maintenance Contract
The maintenance contract is long-term. It is based on a method.
Creation of a personalised garden sheet
Each garden under contract benefits from a dedicated technical sheet including:
Inventory of plantings
Particularities of sensitive plants
Needs for amendments and chips
Management of waste removal
Access and logistics constraints
This sheet allows for precise monitoring, season after season.
Anticipation of needs
Rather than reacting, we plan:
pruning at the right time
inputs of organic matter
health checks of plants
maintenance of structures (borders, terraces, paths)
The garden remains coherent and structured.
Simplified logistics
A contract allows for the organisation of:
the removal of green waste
the ordering of materials (chips, soil, organic fertilisers)
planning even in the owner's absence
The client does not have to coordinate each intervention.
Continuity and knowledge of the site
- Our teams know your garden.
- They understand its evolution, its strengths and its weaknesses.
- Conversely, a one-off intervention often involves rediscovering the site.

Why this structure?
Professional maintenance requires:
a trained team
suitable equipment
controlled logistics
continuity in follow-up
Our model guarantees structured, transparent maintenance tailored to the realities of the field.
A garden maintenance contract is an agreement between an individual or a company and a gardening professional. It defines the frequency of interventions (monthly, quarterly, four-monthly), the work carried out (mowing, pruning, weeding, care for flower beds, etc.) and the associated budget. It is a practical solution to keep a garden immaculate all year round, without surprises or forgetfulness.
A contract ensures the regularity of care provided to the garden. The professional plans interventions according to the seasons, which guarantees a well-maintained green space, the good health of the plants, and the enhancement of the plant heritage. It is also a time-saving and peace of mind for the owner.
Depending on the chosen plan, a contract may include:
- lawn mowing,
- the trimming of hedges and shrubs,
- the weeding of paths,
- the cleaning of flower beds,
- the collection of leaves,
- the maintenance of seasonal plantings,
- the preventive treatment against diseases and pests.
Each contract is personalised according to the size of the garden, the plants present, and the client's expectations.
The price depends on the area, the complexity of the garden, and the frequency of interventions. A small urban garden will require less time than a large wooded park. At Vert Val, we offer several packages tailored to your budget and needs, with a clear and transparent quote.
One-off contract: a single or seasonal intervention (e.g. spring restoration or autumn pruning).
Annual contract: a regular follow-up planned throughout the year, for a worry-free maintained garden.
Yes, the contract remains flexible. If your needs change (adding new plantings, changing frequency, exceptional work), it is possible to adapt the content of the contract.
It is aimed at both:
- individuals (houses, apartments with terraces or condominiums),
- and businesses (offices, shops, hotels, restaurants) wishing for an always welcoming and well-kept exterior.
Professional expertise: a trained and equipped team.
Impeccable garden all year round.
Flexible plans: monthly, quarterly, four-monthly.
Personalised follow-upaccording to your expectations.
