From the perspective of an ex-tenant and now despairing yard PPOR owner. Both of us work full time, on the weekends, we're running about doing what we do. We're not interested in gardening. When a property is suitable in size and location for me to rent. I will rent it regardless of the garden. If as a landlord you pride yourself in keeping the garden neat, tidy and alive (not dead and weed ridden) can i ask why you didn't hire and pay for the mowing to be maintained?
