Lawn Mowing

Striped, tidy lawns — every visit

Freshly mown lawn with crisp green mowing stripes

A good mowing round is about more than cutting grass short. We mow to an even height, trim the edges along paths, fences and garden borders, and blow the clippings off your hard surfaces — so the whole place looks sharp when we leave.

What’s involved:

  • Mowing to an even, consistent height
  • Edge trimming along paths, fences and garden borders
  • Blow-down of paths, driveways and decks
  • Clippings tidied up before we go

Most of our regular mowing clients book weekly or fortnightly through the growing season. If that sounds like what your lawn needs, get in touch through our Google listing and we'll take it from there.

Often booked with Garden Maintenance

Garden Maintenance

Weeding, mulching, planting and tidy-ups

Garden beds stay healthy with regular attention — a little weeding, a fresh layer of mulch, a prune at the right time of year. We handle the steady jobs that stop small problems turning into big weekend missions.

What’s involved:

  • Hand weeding of garden beds and borders
  • Mulch application to suppress weeds and hold moisture
  • Pruning of shrubs and perennials
  • Seasonal planting and replacing tired plants
  • General tidy-up of garden areas

Maintenance visits pair well with a regular mowing round. Tell us what your garden beds need via our Google listing and we'll work out a routine that suits.

Often booked with Hedge Trimming

Hedge Trimming

Neat, even hedges that frame your property

From low border hedges to tall screening hedges, a clean trim line makes the whole section look cared for. We shape hedges evenly, work to the right timing for the plant, and clean up every clipping afterwards.

What’s involved:

  • Shaping to a straight, even line
  • Clean-up and removal of all clippings
  • Trimming suited to your hedge type and season
  • Tidying of the surrounding lawn and paths

If your hedges are getting away on you, reach out through our Google listing — a photo of the hedge helps us line up the right gear for the visit.

Often booked with Garden Clean-ups

Garden Clean-ups

Overgrown or post-storm — we'll sort it

Sections get away on the best of us — a busy few months, a wild Canterbury nor'wester, a property that's sat empty. We clear overgrowth, shift green waste and get your outdoor space back to usable, one load at a time.

What’s involved:

  • Clearing of overgrown vegetation and weeds
  • Removal of green waste and storm debris
  • Cutting back overgrown shrubs
  • General tidy-up and haul-away

Every clean-up starts with a look at the job. Message us through our Google listing with a few photos and a rough idea of the size, and we'll go from there.

Often booked with Weed Control

Weed Control

Paths, driveways and garden beds cleared

Weeds in the cracks, gravel and garden beds make a tidy section look scruffy fast. We clear them back properly — roots and all where it counts — and keep on top of the regrowth with follow-up visits.

What’s involved:

  • Clearing of weeds from beds, borders and edges
  • Treatment of weeds on paths and driveways
  • Follow-up visits for persistent regrowth
  • Practical advice on keeping weeds down

A one-off clearance or a regular weed round — either way, start the conversation through our Google listing and tell us where the weeds are winning.

Often booked with Small Landscaping

Small Landscaping

Garden bed refreshes, planting and mulch

Well-used garden tools, wheelbarrow and bucket lined up against a wall

Sometimes a garden just needs a refresh — a tired bed replanted, bark or mulch laid fresh, a corner that's never worked finally sorted. We take on the smaller landscaping jobs that make a visible difference without a full redesign.

What’s involved:

  • Garden bed refreshes and replanting
  • Bark, mulch and stone laying
  • Soil preparation before planting
  • Tidy finishing and clean-up

Have a corner of the garden in mind? Send a photo and a few measurements through our Google listing and we'll talk through what's possible.
