Garden maintenance in Melbourne's inner east and bayside

Reliable, year-round garden care

Overview

Garden Maintenance

A regular maintenance visit is the cheapest way to keep a garden looking good. Instead of letting things run away and paying for a big clean-up twice a year, we come through on a set schedule — mow, edge, prune, weed, blow down — and the garden simply never gets out of hand.

Keep your garden looking its best all year round with reliable, professional maintenance. We provide lawn mowing, edging, blowing, pruning, seasonal care and general garden upkeep to keep your outdoor spaces neat, healthy, and well presented.

What's included

  • Lawn mowing with a clean stripe and crisp edges along paths, drives and beds
  • Hedge and shrub trimming to keep shape and density
  • Weeding of garden beds, pebble areas and paving joints
  • Light pruning and dead-heading through the growing season
  • Blowing down of all hard surfaces before we leave
  • All green waste removed on the day

What it costs

Straightforward pricing.

Most homes sit on a fortnightly visit through spring and summer, stretching to three or four weekly over winter. Pricing depends on block size, how established the planting is and how often we visit — a typical suburban front and back garden lands in a predictable, fixed per-visit rate once we've seen it.

Common questions

How often should I book garden maintenance?
Fortnightly through the growing season is the sweet spot for most Melbourne gardens. Over winter, growth slows and monthly is usually plenty. We'll recommend a rhythm after the first visit rather than locking you into something you don't need.
Do I need to be home?
No. As long as we have side access we'll get on with it and let you know when we're done. Plenty of clients never need to be there.
Is there a contract?
No contracts. You're on a recurring schedule because it works, not because you're locked in — pause or change frequency any time.
Do you take the green waste with you?
Yes. Clippings, prunings and hedge waste all leave on the ute the same day, so you're not left with piles or a full green bin.
