Acreage & rural properties
Acreage and rural blocks need slashing for open areas and mowing near house zones — fire breaks may apply.
Equipment and access
Tell gardeners gate width, stairs, slope, and storage for green waste — affects equipment choice and price.
Typical pricing
Per-acre or hourly slashing — separate from suburban mowing rates.
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?
