Snakes in the garden
Snakes visit gardens seeking food and shelter — reduce long grass, debris piles, and rodent habitat; never attempt to handle venomous snakes yourself.

Why snakes appear
Shelter in wood piles, long grass, rock walls; prey includes rodents and frogs. Most are shy and pass through.
Make garden less attractive
Mow regularly, clear debris, seal gaps under sheds, control rodents humanely, wear boots when gardening.
If you see a snake
Keep distance; keep pets away; call licensed snake catcher — do not kill (often protected).
Professional cleanup role
Heavy slash and debris removal reduces habitat — not a guarantee but improves safety for family use.
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.
- Do they carry public liability insurance?
- Will the same person or crew attend each visit?
- How do they handle wet weather or missed visits?
- What equipment do they use for your lawn size?
- Can they provide a written quote and invoice with ABN?
