Professional Garden Maintenance
Comprehensive garden maintenance services in Nairobi from KES 8,000 per month. Regular mowing, hedging, weeding, fertilisation, pest control, and seasonal care for residential and commercial properties across Nairobi.
Why Professional Garden Maintenance Matters
A beautifully designed garden can quickly become an overgrown, neglected space without consistent, skilled maintenance. At Green Boma, we provide professional garden maintenance services to residential homeowners, property managers, gated estates, hotels, corporate offices, and apartment complexes across Nairobi. Our maintenance teams visit your property on a regular schedule — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly — and carry out a comprehensive programme of care tailored to your garden's specific needs.
Our maintenance service is far more than simply mowing the lawn. We manage the full health of your garden — from soil nutrition and pest monitoring to hedge shaping, seasonal planting, and irrigation system checks. Our goal is to ensure your garden looks immaculate every single day, not just on maintenance day.
What Our Garden Maintenance Service Includes
Lawn Care
We mow your lawn to the correct height for the grass species (Kikuyu, Arabic, Zimbabwe, or Buffalo grass), edge all borders cleanly with a half-moon edger or rotary edger, and remove all clippings. We scarify compacted or thatch-heavy lawns to improve water penetration and carry out overseeding for bare patches.
Hedge & Shrub Trimming
Neat, precisely shaped hedges define your garden's structure. We trim all hedges, topiary, and shaped shrubs to their correct form, using powered hedge trimmers and hand shears for fine detail work. All clippings are removed from site.
Weeding & Ground Cover Management
We remove all weeds from planted beds, pathways, and lawn borders by hand and with targeted herbicide application where appropriate. We maintain clean, weed-free planting areas throughout the year.
Fertilisation & Soil Nutrition
We apply appropriate slow-release fertilisers and soil conditioners based on the needs of your lawn and planted areas. We monitor soil health seasonally and advise on amendments where deficiencies are identified.
Pest & Disease Monitoring
Our team inspects plants regularly for signs of pest infestation and disease. We treat problems early using the most appropriate and responsible methods, including targeted organic solutions where possible.
Seasonal Planting & Replanting
We replace seasonal bedding plants at the appropriate times of year to ensure year-round colour and interest. We advise on the best annual and perennial combinations for Nairobi's climate.
Irrigation System Checks
During each maintenance visit, we check that drip lines, sprinkler heads, and timers are functioning correctly. Minor adjustments, cleaning, and blockage removal are included in the maintenance programme.
Leaf Collection & Garden Cleanup
Following Kenya's dry seasons and winds, leaf litter accumulates rapidly. We collect all fallen leaves and organic debris on each visit, keeping pathways, patios, and drains clear.

We offer three flexible maintenance packages. All packages include all labour, equipment, and basic consumables (fertilisers, herbicides, pruning materials).

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does garden maintenance cost in Nairobi?
Our garden maintenance packages start from KES 8,000 per month for a monthly service visit. Bi-weekly packages start from KES 14,000 per month and weekly packages from KES 22,000 per month. Commercial properties are quoted individually
What does a garden maintenance visit include?
A standard visit includes lawn mowing and edging, hedge and shrub trimming, weeding of all beds and borders, leaf and debris collection, irrigation checks, and a general garden inspection. Higher packages also include fertilisation, pest monitoring, and seasonal replanting.
Do I need to be present during maintenance visits?
No. Most of our residential clients provide access instructions and are not present during visits. We work independently and securely, and provide a report after each visit.
How often should I have my garden maintained in Nairobi?
This depends on the size of your garden, the type of plants, and how much rainfall the area receives. During the long rains (March-May) and short rains (October-December), grass and plants grow rapidly and bi-weekly or weekly visits are ideal. During dry seasons, monthly visits may be sufficient for many gardens.
Can you take over maintenance of a neglected or overgrown garden?
Yes. We can assess overgrown gardens and provide a one-off restoration quote before transitioning to a regular maintenance programme.
Do you maintain gardens in gated communities?
Yes. We work with many gated residential communities across Nairobi, maintaining communal gardens, entrance areas, and shared green spaces on estate-wide contracts.
Can I pause maintenance during extended travel?
Yes. We offer flexible contract arrangements and can reduce visit frequency or pause services during extended absences with appropriate notice.
Do you provide garden maintenance for commercial properties?
Yes. We maintain office compounds, hotel gardens, shopping mall landscaping, hospital grounds, school gardens, and apartment complex communal areas across Nairobi.
