To join the scheme you should be:

- getting Disability Living Allowance, and no one who lives in your home can cut the grass and hedge.
If you are a tenant, and don’t meet the above conditions, but can't manage your garden because of chronic ill health, we might be able to help - speak to your someone at your Local Office. You can locate your Local Office by using the 'find my nearest' search facility on this page.
To apply
Applications are made through your Local Office. You should bring proof of age (Myfife card or photo driving licence) or disability living allowance.
We don't need payment when you first apply.
Service Standards
In a normal season you can expect;
- grass cut every 2 weeks, weather permitting (up to 500 square meters, e.g. 25 meters by 20 meters)
- hedge cut on two occasions, once in June/July and once in September/October, again weather permitting
