Can You Write Off Yard Maintenance and Landscaping?
Short answer: No: lawn care, tree trimming, and landscaping at your home are personal costs.
New landscaping can add to basis; routine upkeep can't.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
