What's included
A garden cleanup is a intensive reset — cutting back overgrowth, clearing debris, mowing neglected lawns, and preparing the property for sale, lease handover, or regular maintenance.
Heavy mowing and whipper-snipping of overgrown areas
Pruning overgrown shrubs and clearing paths
Removal of green waste and accumulated debris
Basic bed edging and sweep of hard surfaces
Cleanup is not ongoing maintenance: book follow-up visits or switch to a maintenance schedule afterward.
Funding and how to pay
DIY cleanups suit small yards with available weekends. Hire for end-of-lease deadlines, post-storm damage, vacant rental properties, or when vegetation is too thick for home tools.
How to compare providers
When comparing gardeners, look for:
Current public liability insurance (ask for a certificate of currency)
Clear written quotes — hourly, per visit, or fixed price for the job
Equipment suited to your block size (ride-on vs push mower, chipper access)
Green waste handling — removed off-site vs left for council collection
Consistency and communication if you need ongoing maintenance
Local reviews or references for similar properties nearby
Red flags: cash-only with no quote, no insurance mention, unrealistically low pricing, or reluctance to confirm what is included.

Public liability insurance
Ask for a current certificate of currency before work starts. Most professional gardeners carry public liability cover — typically $5–$20 million for residential jobs.
