The upkeeping of urban public parks involves tedious maintenance to sure their functionality, purpose and it involves an immense amount to maintain our public parks. This mixed-methodology research examines the cost-efficiency and strategies to mitigate this issue. The first phase established an experts’ verified checklist of maintenance procedures establishing the themes, parameters, and attributes for cost-effective maintenance. Phase two involves Semi-structured Interviews with selected professionals and practitioners focusing on issues related to the current landscape maintenance practice and its operational cost. The study’s findings suggest six components that link effective maintenance with cost-efficiency.
