As an overseas owner, it is not always easy to arrive at the right moment to prepare your garden and pool for the season. Akbuk Solutions LTD can carry out seasonal and one-off work so everything is ready when you or your guests arrive.
- Seasonal pool opening: Removing covers, refilling where needed, deep cleaning, shocking the water and balancing chemicals before the first use.
- Pool closing & winter checks: Adjusting water levels, cleaning, protecting equipment and arranging occasional winter visits to avoid problems going unnoticed.
- Pre-season garden tidy: Cutting back overgrowth, trimming hedges, shaping shrubs, clearing weeds and refreshing planting beds ready for summer.
- Post-season clean-down: Final cut of lawns, leaf clearance and checks on irrigation or watering arrangements before the quieter months.
- One-off recovery visits: Intensive tidy-up for neglected gardens or pools that have been unused for a while, bringing them back to a manageable standard.
If you are unsure what your property needs, we can assess the garden and pool on site and recommend a seasonal plan that suits both your budget and how often the property is used.
Every property and complex is different, so we agree garden and pool care schedules with you in advance and keep them under review throughout the season.
- Flexible visit frequency: We can schedule weekly, twice-weekly or custom visits depending on pool size, landscaping, shade, and how often the property is occupied.
- Clear task lists per visit: Each maintenance visit follows a checklist so that essential garden work and pool tests are never missed.
- Water testing & record keeping: Our team records key pool readings and actions taken, helping to maintain consistent water quality and safe chemical levels.
- Condition monitoring: While on site we also keep an eye on pumps, filters, irrigation, lighting and visible hard landscaping, raising any concerns promptly.
- Photo updates on request: For owners who live abroad, we can share photos or notes after major works or if we need your approval for extra tasks.
For more detail on how we report to you and how this links with your float, you can also check the Owner FAQ – Float & Payments.
You can arrange garden and pool care as part of your overall property management with Akbuk Solutions LTD or as a focused service for your home or complex.
- Existing customers: Log in to your Customer Area to request garden or pool services, confirm visit frequencies, or add seasonal work.
- New owners: If you do not yet have access, simply contact us and we will set up your customer profile so you can manage everything online.
- Complex committees: We work with site management and committees to put in place shared garden and pool care programmes for the whole complex.
Once your plan is agreed, we add the schedule to our system so visits, actions and any extra approvals are tracked alongside your other services.
You can always adjust your garden and pool plan if your circumstances change – for example if you start renting more weeks or spend longer in Akbuk yourself.

Garden and pool care can be set up as regular packages or charged per visit, depending on what suits your property and how predictable the work is across the year.
- Regular maintenance packages: Fixed monthly or seasonal packages are available for standard garden and pool routines, helping you budget more easily.
- Per-visit pricing: One-off tidy-ups, recovery work or unusual tasks are normally priced individually and agreed with you in advance.
- Using your float: Wherever possible, agreed garden and pool charges are taken from your owner float, which is updated by our admin team.
- When invoices are issued: If work falls outside your float balance or is a larger project, we will issue an invoice and agree how and when payment will be made.
- Visibility in the Customer Area: You can see garden and pool orders and charges listed alongside your other services in the Customer Area.
If you have specific requirements or a large or complex site, we can prepare a custom proposal that sets out recommended visit frequencies and expected costs.
| Package | What it includes | How it is charged | How it uses your float |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Garden Care | Regular lawn cutting, basic pruning, weeding and terrace sweeping for a typical holiday home garden. | Usually a fixed monthly fee during the active season. | Monthly package amount is debited from your float once the visit cycle for that month is completed. |
| Pool Maintenance Visit | Skimming and vacuuming, cleaning baskets and filters, water testing and chemical balancing. | Per visit price or part of a seasonal pool package. | Each confirmed visit is logged and the charge is taken from your float soon after the service. |
| Complex Grounds & Pool Care | Shared garden and pool care for apartment complexes, including paths and communal areas. | Agreed package with the committee or site management. | We invoice the committee or management; your float is only used if you ask for extra services for your own unit. |
| One-Off Tidy or Recovery | Intensive clearance and cleaning for overgrown gardens or neglected pools. | Quoted individually based on size and condition before work starts. | Normally charged by invoice; your float may be used for smaller items if you prefer. |
