Garden Agents service
Garden Staging & Sales Support
Garden Agents (part of Totnes Gardening) offers a unique service designed to help sell houses by "selling the view". Unlike standard maintenance, these agents:
Live Staging: Manicure the grounds immediately before and during open houses to ensure the garden looks its best for viewers.
Buyer Consultation: Stay on-site during viewings to answer potential buyers' questions about plant care and maintenance, aiming to turn "maintenance fear" into "lifestyle desire".
Expertise: Operated by a local professional with over 20 years of experience, including training at Dartington Hall Gardens.

"Garden Agents" is a specialized branch of Totnes Gardening, operated by Kevin Hare. It is designed to bridge the gap between traditional gardening and property sales by acting as a "sales team" for your outdoor space.
Core "Garden Agent" Services
Silent Manicuring: The service uses 100% professional battery-powered equipment. This allows the agent to continue trimming, edging, and sweeping during active house viewings without noise or fumes disrupting the potential buyers' experience.
Real-Time Maintenance: While an estate agent handles the interior, the Garden Agent stays outside to keep the patio swept and leaves cleared in real-time as viewers arrive.
Expert Buyer Interaction: The agent acts as an on-site consultant, answering technical horticultural questions that estate agents typically cannot, such as plant care requirements or maintenance schedules, to reassure nervous buyers.
Specialist Support & Expertise
"Lifesaver" Tidy-Ups: Rapid-response garden clearances designed to reclaim overgrown spaces immediately before a property listing goes live.
Ecological Focus: The service emphasizes organic practices, rewilding, and biodiversity, which can be a significant selling point for eco-conscious buyers in the South Hams area.
Professional Background: Kevin Hare has over 20 years of experience, including professional training at Dartington Hall Gardens.
