Gardening in Canberra

Canberra includes a mix of housing — courtyards to larger blocks. Local gardeners factor travel, access, and typical vegetation when quoting.

See the Australian Capital Territory state guide for seasonal calendar and water rules that apply across the region.

Common local jobs

Lawn mowing and garden maintenance dominate residential demand. End-of-lease tidies and pre-sale cleanups spike in rental-heavy suburbs. Acreage fringes may need slashing rather than suburban mowing.

Getting quotes

What to look for in a gardener

A reliable gardener asks about access, slope, pets, and your priorities before quoting. They explain what is included in each visit and flag extra work (heavy pruning, green waste removal) before starting.
