Easy maintain garden

[b21playa]

Hi all

I rent out a house with a big garden that's 60m long by 9m wide (using google maps). Its split into 2, with the first half with a patio, large pond and grass. The second part consists of a greenhouse and loads of raised planters.

The rear part is currently overgrown and I will be cutting this all back, and then removing the raised beds, but wondering what the best thing to do it. I thought of seeding/turfing it or putting weed fabric down and laying bark.

Any ideas? It needs to be easy for tenants to maintain.

Thanks in advance

I have added some pictures I have on my phone and included one of what it looks like underneath all the growth

Wait until you find a tennant who will enjoy having and maintaining a garden like that (And tell them they can stay for a few years, so it is worthwhile).

Don't waste money on a rental, if the tenants want a nice garden leave it to them.

I would reduce the length by half by putting up a fence and at the new 'end ' of the garden put in a gate to access the other half .
That way you can put down a weed control mat and weigh it down with bark or bricks on the bottom part and leave it alone unless the tenant wants a big garden. Just make sure that no one can lay claim to the unused garden in the far off future.
