House with garden

House with garden

Detached houses with front and rear gardens need boundary mowing, nature strip care, and seasonal bed maintenance.

Body corporate and rentals

Strata may regulate tree planting and hardscape; landlords should document garden condition at lease start and schedule maintenance to avoid bond disputes.

Hiring approach

Regular scheduled visits beat crisis cleanups — same gardener learns your property's quirks.

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?
