Seasonal garden maintenance in Brisbane

Each visit is planned around the time of year. In summer we keep up with fast growth, and winter is a good time for bigger pruning jobs.

What we do on each visit changes as Brisbane's seasons turn. Summer means keeping up with fast growth and dry spells. Storms can leave a mess to clean up, and the cooler months give the garden time to recover.

Seasonal garden maintenance in Brisbane

Timing the work

Each visit is planned around the time of year. In summer we keep up with fast growth, and winter is a good time for bigger pruning jobs.

Established gardens get the most from it, because the lawn, hedges, beds and irrigation don't all need work in the same month.

Timing

A one off job or regular visits, and any date we need to work to.

When to book

Planning visits around the seasons

We don't do the same jobs on every visit. After a wet spell we spend more time on the weeds, and ahead of the summer heat we check the irrigation.

Overgrown Paddington gardens and hedges

For an overgrown Paddington garden, start with hedge trimming. Then weed control and soft landscaping can freshen up tired beds and the entry.

Around Queenslander homes, gardens can have narrow access, layered planting and a front path. Once a hedge grows out, it crowds the house or the footpath.

Through the year

What changes from season to season

A Brisbane garden doesn't need the same work every month. Planning by season lines up the mowing, pruning, weeding and irrigation checks before the garden falls behind.

Summer

Lawns and hedges grow fast, so we keep on top of them and keep the edges neat. We watch for heat stress and check the sprinklers reach everywhere before a hot spell shows up the gaps.

Autumn

The beds get tidied after summer and the hedges get a trim. We top up the mulch where it's thin and get planting areas ready for slower growth.

Winter

Growth slows down, so it's a good time for bigger pruning jobs. We also get on top of the weeds, check the irrigation and clean up before spring.

Spring

It's time to get ready for the main growing season. We prune and feed, get the lawn looking good, deal with weeds and freshen up the garden beds.

Seasonal visits by suburb

Seasonal visits are available in Indooroopilly, Toowong, Taringa, Chelmer, Graceville, Paddington, New Farm, Ascot, Hawthorne, Balmoral, Brookfield, Kenmore and Fig Tree Pocket.

Common problems

Garden problems we can help with

Pruning timing

In established Brisbane gardens we prune to suit the plant, the season and how stressed it is, and we'll tell you when it's better to wait.

Weeds taking over beds and paths

We hand weed Brisbane garden beds, keep paths and edges clear, and give you advice on mulch and soil, which help slow the weeds coming back.

Seasonal catch up before the growth spurt

We plan the mowing, hedge trimming, pruning and weeding around Brisbane's year, with summer growth, an autumn tidy and winter pruning.

Spring jobs before summer growth

In a Brisbane spring we catch up on the mowing, edging, weeds and hedges before summer growth starts, and regular visits can keep it there.

Commercial frontages and shared gardens

For commercial and strata sites in Brisbane, we mow and edge, trim hedges and keep weeds down on a regular schedule, and take the green waste away.

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

How is seasonal maintenance different from a one off tidy up?

A tidy up deals with the mess that's there now. Seasonal maintenance plans each visit around the time of year, so pruning, weeding and watering checks happen when they're due.

What garden problems does seasonal maintenance help prevent?

Summer overgrowth is the big one. Keeping the jobs on a seasonal schedule also helps with stressed beds, uneven watering, weeds and heavy catch up pruning.

Can seasonal maintenance include lawns, hedges and garden beds together?

Yes, that's the idea. We plan the lawn and hedge work alongside weed control, mulching and irrigation checks.
