Garden maintenance in Mackay

A tidy yard in Mackay takes work, especially once the wet season kicks in. Hedges shoot up, weeds pop up in the garden beds, and before long your weekends are gone. We take care of the everyday garden jobs as well as the bigger ones, like hedging, tree pruning and weed spraying.

We work for homeowners, landlords, body corporates and commercial properties across Mackay. We clean up after ourselves and take green waste away, recycling it where we can. You don't need to be home. As long as we can get into the yard, we can get started.

How we work

1. Tell us about your garden
   Let us know your suburb, block size and what needs doing, and whether you'd like a one-off clean-up or ongoing care. Photos help us price the job faster.
2. We send a clear estimate
   We check gate access, pets and parking, then send you a clear estimate. If your yard needs a big catch-up after months of growth, we'll quote that separately from regular maintenance.
3. We set a schedule
   We plan visits to suit your garden. That's usually monthly in the wet season and less often in the drier months.
4. We get the job done
   On the day, we treat weeds, shape hedges and shrubs, tidy the beds and blow down the paths. Any extras, like fertilising or mulching, are done on the same visit.
5. We work around the weather
   Light rain won't stop us. If heavy storms leave the soil too soggy, we'll reschedule to protect your lawn and garden beds, and we'll let you know if the weather changes the plan.

Want proof the job's done? We can send photos after each visit, which is handy for property managers and owners who can't be there on the day.

What's included

Every standard visit includes:

• Weeding of garden beds, edges and other agreed areas
• Trimming hedges and shrubs to keep their shape and keep paths clear
• Tidying garden beds and checking the overall look of the yard
• Blowing down paths and hard surfaces before we leave
• Removing green waste from the visit, recycled where possible

Popular extras you can add:

• Lawn mowing
• Fertilising
• Weed spraying for beds, edges and paths
• Mulching
• Extra green waste removal beyond a standard tidy
• Palm maintenance and cutting back overgrown shrubs
• Clearing overgrown vegetation
• Planting, including replacing dead plants or filling gaps (supply and install quoted separately)
• Irrigation and watering system installation, for a green garden all year round

Our regular service keeps your existing plants healthy and neat. Replacing dead plants or filling gaps is quoted separately as a supply and install job.

For specific jobs, see our pages on:

• Hedging: trimming, shaping and ongoing maintenance
• Tree pruning: pruning and lopping for safety, access and a neat look
• Weed spray: targeted weed control for beds, edges and paths

What we don't include

These aren't part of standard maintenance, unless we've added them to your quote:

• Full landscape redesigns or new garden builds (see Landscape installation)
• Slashing paddocks, which needs different machinery
• Large tree removal, or work that needs a specialist climbing or elevated crew
• Licensed plumbing for irrigation connections outside our installation scope
• Construction work over $3,300 that requires a QBCC licence
• Rubbish, dumped goods or storm debris that isn't green waste from our work
• Mowing waterlogged lawns, which waits for a drier day

Has your yard been left for a while? We'll start with a thorough catch-up trim and weed, then set up regular visits to keep it under control.

Who it's for

• Homeowners who want a tidy garden without giving up their weekends
• Property managers and landlords who need yards that pass inspection between tenants
• Body corporates and commercial sites that want a consistent standard
• Anyone with an overgrown yard that needs to be brought back under control

Combining garden care with lawn mowing usually saves you money, and your whole property looks tidy at once. Looking after larger commercial grounds? See Commercial sites.

Gardening in Mackay's climate

Mackay's warm, wet months make gardens grow wild. Fortnightly visits are popular from late spring through summer, and when things dry out, monthly visits are usually enough.

Tropical gardens drop a lot of palm fronds, and weeds spring up fast after rain. If a hedge needs more than a standard trim, or a tree needs a specialist, we'll let you know.

We're based in Mackay (4740) and cover the city and surrounding suburbs. Just confirm your location when you get in touch.
