Frequently Asked Questions

  • In Maitland and surrounding Hunter Valley suburbs, overgrown garden clean ups typically range from $900 to $3,500, depending on property size, weed density, access, and waste volume. Larger or heavily neglected gardens can range from $2,500 to $6,500+. We provide fixed-price quotes after a site visit or photo assessment so you know the full cost upfront.

  • A full garden clean up usually includes heavy weeding, pruning and shrub reductions, redefining garden edges, clearing overgrowth, removing green waste, and improving overall presentation. Depending on your needs, we may also include mulch installation, soil improvement, weed treatment for hard surfaces, and minor reshaping of garden beds.

  • Most garden restorations in Maitland take 1 to 5 days, depending on the size and condition of the property. Larger acreage or heavily overgrown properties may take longer. We outline all scope of works in our quote, to make sure we are ticking off all the items on your to-do list. We also factor in extreme weather, as this can sometimes delay our work on site.

  • Yes. Proper weed removal from pavers and driveways involves targeted treatment and removal — not just cutting weeds at surface level. We use appropriate methods to treat weeds at the root, clear debris from joints, and restore a cleaner finish. This helps prevent fast regrowth and improves overall presentation.

  • Yes, we remove green waste. Waste removal is priced based on volume, labour required to load it, and local tip fees. Smaller jobs may utilise your green waste bin, while larger clean ups often require trailer loads and disposal runs. Waste costs are clearly outlined in your fixed quote.

  • Major garden clean ups can be done year-round in the Hunter Valley. However, many clients choose winter or just before early spring to prepare for the growing season, and autumn to reset after summer growth. The best timing depends on your goals — whether you’re preparing to sell, renting out the property, or simply wanting a fresh start.

  • es. Pre-sale garden clean ups are one of our specialties. We focus on improving street appeal, defining garden edges, reducing overgrowth, and creating a clean, well-presented outdoor space. A tidy, structured garden can significantly improve first impressions for buyers.

  • Yes. We regularly work with landlords and property managers in Maitland to reset gardens between tenants. This may include heavy weeding, pruning, waste removal, and restoring lawn edges to ensure the property is presentable and ready for the next lease period.

  • Yes. After completing a clean up or restoration, we can recommend practical improvements such as mulch installation, plant selection adjustments, edge definition, and soil improvement to reduce future maintenance needs. Our goal is to make your garden easier to manage long-term.

  • A garden tidy up focuses on general maintenance tasks such as light weeding, pruning, and cleaning up. A garden restoration is more involved and typically includes heavy weed removal, significant pruning reductions, reshaping beds, soil work, and multiple waste loads. Restorations reset the structure of the garden rather than just maintaining it.

  • Yes. Mulch installation and soil improvement are commonly included in restoration projects. Mulch helps suppress weeds, retain moisture, and improve presentation. Soil conditioning improves plant health and long-term performance, especially in older or compacted garden beds.

  • Yes. We can redefine garden edges, reshape beds, and improve visual structure without undertaking a full landscaping project. Clean, defined edges and fresh mulch often dramatically improve the appearance of a garden at a fraction of the cost of major construction.

  • Yes. We complete small turf installations and lawn replacements as part of light landscaping upgrades. This may include preparing the soil base, levelling, installing new turf, and ensuring proper establishment guidelines are followed.

  • Yes. We safely prune and reduce overgrown shrubs and small ornamental trees to restore shape and structure. Correct reduction pruning improves plant health and prevents damage to fences, pathways, and surrounding areas.

  • The best way to maintain results is through regular maintenance visits or seasonal check-ins. Mulch top-ups, light pruning, and routine weed management prevent the garden from returning to an overgrown state. We can recommend a tailored maintenance schedule based on your property’s size and growth rate.
