Two people, one standard.

Frank is the one in the garden. Customers keep describing him the same way: passionate about plants, endlessly patient, and forever asking how you would like things done rather than deciding for you. He is as happy taming acres of neglected paddock as he is tidying a small courtyard.

Katie runs the bookings, the quotes and the messages, and works alongside him on the bigger jobs. That is why review after review lands on the same word: communication. You know when we are coming, what it will cost, and what we did while we were there.

See what we do

What you can count on.

We show up

Booked in each fortnight or called in once, we arrive when we said we would. Customers who have been let down before tend to mention that first.

Real advice, not a sales pitch

Frank will tell you what to plant, when to plant it and what is worth leaving alone. He has rung round nurseries to find a customer a better price on their own plants.

Left tidy, every visit

Clippings, prunings and weeds are cleaned up and carted off, and the paths and drive get blown down before we go. You come home to a finished garden.

Small courtyards. Big blocks.

A townhouse garden in Delacombe and a rural property with acres of it get the same two people and the same standard. Frank knows rural blocks well: slashing, self-seeded trees, invasive weeds, planting and water features are all part of the job.

How it actually works.

01

Tell us the job

Call or message Katie with what you need. Photos help. If it is a bigger job we come and look at it with you.

02

Free quote

You get a clear price before anything starts, and a straight answer on what is worth doing first if the budget is tight.

03

We get stuck in

Frank works through it and checks in as he goes. Some customers get before and after photos while they are out.

04

Keep it that way

Book a regular round to hold the garden where it is, or leave it there and call us when it needs us again. Your call, not ours.

In their own words.

Great at communicating, reliable, friendly service and have done an amazing job in my yard. Extremely happy!
