Garden tidy ups and clean ups in Brisbane

Garden overgrown, or selling soon? We do a one off garden tidy up in Brisbane, and a garden clean up is the same job by another name: we mow and edge, weed the beds, do some light pruning and tidy the hedges.

A tidy up can get the garden ready for listing photos, an inspection or a handover. Green waste removal can be included.

Garden clean ups

How a tidy up works

A tidy up is quoted on the garden as it is today. The size of the property, the access and how overgrown it's got all change the price.

Step 1

Look at what needs doing most

We look at the front entry, the lawn and the hedges first. Then we check the paths, beds, access and how much green waste there'll be, so the quote covers the jobs that make the biggest difference.

Step 2

Cut back the overgrowth

Where the garden needs them, we do the mowing, weeding, light pruning and hedges together.

Step 3

Clear up and finish off

We leave the paths, entry and beds tidy enough for photos, an inspection or regular visits after. Green waste removal can be included.

Where we do tidy ups

We do tidy ups in the Brisbane CBD and the inner suburbs we cover, such as Fortitude Valley, Spring Hill, Paddington, New Farm, Toowong, Chelmer, Kenmore Hills and Ascot. If yours is close by, ask us.

Common problems

Garden problems we can help with

Garden clean up after storms

After a Brisbane storm, we clear the fallen leaves and green waste first, then mow, prune damaged shrubs and check the irrigation if heavy rain showed up dry or soggy spots.

FAQ

Common questions

Is a garden clean up the same as a garden tidy up?

Yes, they are the same job. Some people ask for a garden clean up in Brisbane and some ask for a tidy up, and either way we mow and edge, weed the beds, prune lightly and tidy the hedges. Green waste removal can be included, and a big job can be split into stages.

Can a big tidy up be done in stages?

Yes, big jobs can be split into stages. What we tackle first comes down to the garden's condition, access and how soon it needs to look good.

We can. When you ask for a quote, tell us when the listing photos or the first inspection are booked, so we know the date we're working to.

Yes. We do the tidy up first, then regular visits for the lawn, hedges and beds.

Yes. Kenmore Hills is one of the Brisbane suburbs we cover. The blocks out there are bigger, with lawn, native and exotic plants, hedges and irrigation all going at once, so a tidy up usually means a mow and edge, weeding and mulching the beds, and light pruning to pull the hedges and shrubs back into shape.

How do you handle a tidy up on a big Kenmore Hills block?

We look at the property first and work out what to do in which order. On a big block the mowing, edging and the garden beds are usually the first visit, with the hedges and the back of the block after that. Larger jobs can be split into stages, so you can spread the work out rather than do it all at once.

How do you work through a clean up on an established Ascot garden?

Ascot gardens often have formal hedge lines, feature plants and established beds, so we start where it shows most: the lawn edges, the hedge faces and the beds along the front. The pruning suits each plant rather than one hard cut across the lot. A big job can be split into stages, and a one off clean up can turn into regular visits afterwards if you would rather the garden was held that way.

What does a tidy up on an established Graceville garden involve?

Gardens around Graceville tend to have mature plants and long hedges that have been in the ground a while, so the pruning needs a careful hand rather than a hard cut. We work through the beds by hand, pull the hedge lines back into shape, mow and edge the lawn, and leave the mulch tidy. A bigger job can be split into stages if you would rather spread it out. We may ask for photos or a site visit before we quote, you do not always need to be home, quotes are free and we aim to reply within 1 business day.

What does a garden tidy up cost?

We don't publish prices, and quotes are free. What changes the price is the size of the property, how easy it is to get in, and the state the garden is in now. The mix of jobs matters too, along with how much green waste there is and whether you want ongoing visits after the tidy up. Photos help, and a big job can be split into stages so you can spread the work out. We aim to reply within 1 business day.
