Regular garden care
Fortnightly or three-weekly visits, usually 2 to 3 hours each, that keep the whole garden in hand.
A visit covers whatever the garden needs that week: weeding, pruning, deadheading, hedge trims (maintenance trims, not reductions), edging and tidying beds. If your lawn is under about 300 m², mowing and edging are part of the same visit at no extra charge.
Regular beats one-off because the garden never gets away on you. Each visit is shorter, the work is lighter, and you stop paying for catch-up. The minimum for regular bookings is 1 hour.
$60 per hour, no GST. Any price I give is an estimate, not a fixed quote.

How this works
Send me a few photos and a line about what needs doing. I will reply within 24 hours with an estimate: a range of hours and what that costs, confirmed on the day. Then you book a block of time online.
Two things every job depends on. First, parking: I need to park the van on the street or on your property within easy carrying distance of the work. Second, green waste: clippings and trimmings go in your council green bin at no charge. If you would rather I take it away, standard removal is $45 flat for up to one van load of clean garden waste, about one woolsack. Flax, bamboo, cabbage tree, palm fronds, soil and anything mixed with rubbish are quoted separately.
I do not take on section clearances, pre-sale clean-ups or big hedge reductions.
