Pool & Garden Maintenance (April to October)
To keep the pool and garden beautiful and well maintained, we may briefly visit approximately every 3 days for routine maintenance.
This may include checking the pool filtration, removing leaves and debris, checking the water and caring for the plants.
We keep these visits as short as possible and always respect your privacy. Where possible, we will let you know beforehand.
