Lawn Mowing
Mowing, edging and whipper snipping in one visit, clippings dealt with properly. One off cut or a regular round.
Tree work and garden care do not run on a fixed calendar. What a lawn needs in December is not what it needs in June, and a tree due for a prune in the dormant season is a different job in the middle of a growing season. Below is what we do, and more usefully, when it is worth doing it.

Discover what we do

Mowing, edging and whipper snipping in one visit, clippings dealt with properly. One off cut or a regular round.

A proper assessment first, so you get a prune or a full removal, whichever the tree needs. Permits handled.

Shrubs, roses, grasses and groundcovers cut back and shaped properly, timed to what each plant actually needs.

Every hedge cut level and straight, shaped to suit the plant, not a rough trim over the top.

Weeds identified first, so lawns get a selective treatment and paths get something stronger. Safe once dry.

Retaining walls, paving and planting designed and built as one project, from a garden bed refresh to a full redesign.

Gutters cleared by hand along their full length, every downpipe checked to make sure water actually drains away.

Green waste and garden rubbish loaded and taken away the same day, site swept before we leave.

Driveways, paths, decking and house exteriors cleaned with the pressure each surface can handle, not just full blast.
What you might need based on the season
The busiest stretch in the Melbourne garden calendar. Everything wakes up at once: weeds germinate, hedges push new growth, and the soil warms enough for new plantings to take hold before summer heat arrives.
Spring is when most weeds germinate and are easiest to knock out before they seed.
The first shaping visit of the year, timed to the spring growth flush.
Mild soil and reliable rain give new plantings the best start before summer stress sets in.
Growth does not stop for the heat. Lawns need mowing most weeks through summer, and Melbourne's storm season means fallen branches and green waste pile up fast.
Peak growth means a weekly cut in most gardens right through summer.
Storm season brings fallen branches and debris that need clearing fast.
Deciduous trees drop hardest through autumn, and a season of dust, pollen and grime leaves paths and paving needing a proper clean before winter sets in.
Leaf drop peaks through autumn, well before winter rain finds every blocked gutter.
A proper reset for paths and paving before the wet winter months.
The dormant season is when deciduous trees are easiest to read and safest to cut back hard. It is the best window in the year for structural pruning and any removal work.
Deciduous trees prune best while dormant, with the branch structure fully visible.
A hard shape back while trees are dormant sets them up clean for the spring flush.
