What we take on

A mow and an edge is the simple version. Tidy-ups, clean-ups, hedges and lawn paint are the rest of it. Every job ends the same way: freshly mowed, edged and cleaned up.

Lawns

Regular or one-off mowing and edging, whipper snipping, and the concrete blown down before we leave.

Gardens

Tidy-ups, clean-ups, weeding, pruning and hedge trimming, with the green waste taken away.

Paint

Lawn painting for an instant green that lasts three to five months, before a sale or an open home.

Services

What we do, big job or small.

Mowing, edging, hedges, tidy-ups and clean-ups, plus a coat of lawn paint when the grass has browned off.

Lawn painting

Instant green, without the wait.

Summer browns a lawn off no matter what you do. We mow first, then spray a coat of lawn paint that leaves it looking freshly grown for three to five months, depending on watering and care. Ideal before a sale, an open home or an event.

Questions

Asked before the first mow.

How often should I get the lawn mowed?

Through the growing season most lawns want a mow every week or two, and it stretches out over winter. We will tell you straight what your lawn needs, and you can book regular visits or one-offs.

Do you take the green waste away?

Yes. Clippings, prunings and pulled weeds are loaded out as part of the job, so nothing is left in a pile by the fence.

Do you do one-off jobs, or only regular runs?

Both. A one-off mow, a garden tidy-up or a full clean-up is quoted the same way: Jakob looks at the yard and prices it before we start.

Do I need to be home when you come?

No. As long as we can get into the yard and any pets are secured, the work gets done without you there. We let you know when it is done.

What areas do you service?

Happy Valley and the southern suburbs of Adelaide: Aberfoyle Park, Flagstaff Hill, Reynella, Morphett Vale, Hallett Cove, Blackwood and the suburbs around them. If yours is not on the list, call or text and we will tell you straight.

How does a quote work?

Call or text 0414 256 026, or DM us on Instagram, with the suburb and a couple of photos of the yard. Jakob looks at the job and comes back with a price. Quotes are free and there is no pressure to book.

What is lawn painting, and how long does it last?

We mow first, then spray a coat of lawn paint that turns a browned-off lawn instantly green. It lasts three to five months depending on watering and how the lawn is looked after.

Can you get the yard ready before a sale or inspection?

Yes, that is the property presentation visit: mow, edge, hedges, beds and clean-up in one go, with lawn paint if you want the instant green. Tell us the date and we will work back from it.
