Assisted garden maintenance services, such as hedge or grass trimming, can be provided to support people who are unable to look after their garden themselves (such as the elderly or people with disabilities). They can be offered free of charge or for a small fee.

MHCLG does not collect information on which councils provide these services, as it is a matter for local authorities.
