What Shane does
As one customer put it, Shane offers a wide range of garden services, not just lawn care. Regular mows, one-off tidy-ups and full makeovers all get the same care.
Big blocks and hinterland acreage cut on the ride-on, so a paddock of a lawn gets done in a morning, not a weekend.
Clean, square hedges and neat topiary balls. The kind of edge that makes the whole yard look looked after.
Long grass, banks, fence lines and the overgrown corners a mower can't reach.
Shrubs, palms and garden trees shaped and thinned properly, by someone with a Diploma of Horticulture.
Green waste and garden rubbish loaded on the trailer and taken away, so you're not left with a pile by the bin.
Fresh ideas for a tired yard, from new beds and planting to a full garden makeover.
Beds weeded, edged and topped with fresh mulch. Looks sharp, holds moisture and keeps the weeds down.
New lawn supplied and laid, whether it's a patch that's given up or a whole backyard.
Paving and makeovers too
“Very happy with my paving job...creating a lovely little spot at the side of my house. Thanks Shane for a job well done”

Acreage and big blocks
Out towards the hinterland the blocks get big and the grass grows fast. Shane brings the ride-on for the open ground and the whipper snipper for the banks and fence lines, and keeps coming back year after year.
“Shane has been attending to our gardens at Advancetown and sometimes other tasks as well for over 10 years He has done marvellous work every single time enough to enable us to stay on our large acreage property for many more years than we otherwise would have I thoroughly endorse him as as an experienced and thorough gardener and as a great guy”

Neat edges, fresh mulch, and a hedge you could set a level on.
