{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"Tropical growth can be rapid. Plan pruning, drainage clearance, pest control, irrigation adjustment, tree risk, retaining-slope vegetation and access for equipment. Avoid landscaping that blocks inspection or directs water toward the building. Large gardens can create privacy and beauty, but they also increase labour, green waste, security and storm preparation.\n\nMaintenance needs depend on exposure, age, occupancy and construction quality. Ask for actual service history and inspect after rain. A home designed for occasional holidays may require a different plan from one used by a family or rental guests.\n\nConfirm current property-specific details through documents, inspection and appropriate independent professionals before committing money.","answer_source":"curated_editorial_research_and_khao_lak_pattern_adaptation","category":"Tropical Property Maintenance","category_slug":"property-maintenance","confidence":"curated_general_guide_requires_property_specific_confirmation","created_at":"2026-07-18T08:00:00+00:00","daily_publish_cap":3,"date_published":"2026-02-24","display_date":"2026-02-24","drip_batch":"phuket-initial-seed-v1","drip_status":"published_seed","freshness_warning":"Property prices, availability, construction progress, rental rules, development policies and legal requirements can change.
