Tenants expect rental properties to maintain the same standards as owner-occupied homes. Overgrown lawns, uncleared snow, and delayed seasonal cleanups generate complaints that consume your time and damage tenant relationships. Small landlords lose an average of one month's rent when tenants choose not to renew due to maintenance frustrations.
Yardly's scheduled services prevent these issues before they start. Weekly or bi-weekly lawn mowing keeps grass at the optimal 2.5-3 inch height throughout the growing season. Snow removal teams clear driveways, walkways, and sidewalks within 24 hours of every snowfall. Tenants see consistent maintenance happening without needing to report problems or wait for responses.
Professional property maintenance also strengthens your position during lease renewals. Tenants who experience reliable year-round upkeep are more likely to renew leases and less likely to request rent reductions. The photo updates Yardly sends after each service visit provide documentation you can share with tenants who ask about maintenance status.
Small landlords typically manage properties while holding full-time jobs or running other businesses. Coordinating lawn care and snow removal across multiple addresses consumes hours each week during peak seasons. Checking weather forecasts, calling contractors, confirming service completion, and handling missed appointments adds administrative work that doesn't generate rental income.
Yardly's online booking system lets you schedule services for all properties in one session. Enter each rental property address, select weekly or bi-weekly lawn mowing, add fall and spring cleanups, and choose snow removal coverage. The system generates quotes instantly.Service confirmations and completion photos arrive automatically after each visit. This eliminates the need to drive by properties to verify work completion or respond to tenant questions about whether services happened. You can forward these updates directly to tenants, demonstrating proactive property management without adding tasks to your schedule.
Small landlords need accurate expense projections to calculate rental yields and plan capital improvements. Per-service pricing from contractors creates variable monthly costs that complicate budgeting. Emergency snow removal charges and premium rates for last-minute lawn care requests can turn profitable properties into money losers during expensive months.
Yardly's subscription model provides fixed monthly costs for each property. Small landlords managing multiple properties receive volume discounts when bundling services across their rental portfolio. This pricing structure lets you calculate exact annual maintenance costs per property, improving cash flow projections and helping you set competitive rental rates that account for all operating expenses.
Rental properties in Edmonton and Calgary compete directly with owner-occupied homes in the same neighborhoods. Properties with neglected lawns, overgrown gardens, or snow-covered walkways signal poor management and lower perceived value. Deferred maintenance accelerates property deterioration, requiring expensive repairs that cut into rental income.
Regular lawn care prevents weed invasions, soil compaction, and grass die-off that require costly restoration. Yardly's weed control and fertilization treatments, available as add-ons starting at $74 monthly, maintain thick healthy turf that withstands tenant foot traffic and seasonal stress. Fall aeration services prepare lawns for winter dormancy and strong spring recovery.
Consistent snow removal protects property infrastructure by preventing ice dam formation, foundation water damage, and walkway deterioration from freeze-thaw cycles. Properties with maintained exteriors also attract higher-quality tenant applicants and support premium rental rates compared to competing listings with visible maintenance issues.
Edmonton and Calgary both enforce bylaws requiring property owners to clear snow from public sidewalks within specific timeframes after snowfall ends. Landlords who fail to comply face fines starting at $250 per violation, with penalties increasing for repeat offenses. Small landlords managing multiple properties across different neighborhoods cannot personally shovel all locations within bylaw timeframes.
Yardly's 24-hour snow clearing guarantee ensures compliance across your entire property portfolio. Service teams monitor weather conditions and dispatch crews automatically after each snowfall event. Documentation provided after each snow removal visit proves compliance if bylaw officers issue notices. This protects landlords from fines and provides evidence for insurance claims if slip-and-fall incidents occur.

Calgary coverage extends to Cochrane, Airdrie, and Chestermere.

Properties requiring special services like pet waste removal, rock bed cleaning, or fallen fruit cleanup can add these options to any subscription. Small landlords managing properties with specific maintenance needs customize service packages for each address rather than paying for identical services across properties with different requirements.
