What Shane does

Everything straight off the business card.

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.

01

Acreage Ride On Mowing

Big blocks and hinterland acreage cut on the ride-on, so a paddock of a lawn gets done in a morning, not a weekend.

02

Hedge Trimming

Clean, square hedges and neat topiary balls. The kind of edge that makes the whole yard look looked after.

03

Brush Cutting

Long grass, banks, fence lines and the overgrown corners a mower can't reach.

04

Pruning

Shrubs, palms and garden trees shaped and thinned properly, by someone with a Diploma of Horticulture.

05

Rubbish Removal

Green waste and garden rubbish loaded on the trailer and taken away, so you're not left with a pile by the bin.

06

Garden Design

Fresh ideas for a tired yard, from new beds and planting to a full garden makeover.

07

Mulching

Beds weeded, edged and topped with fresh mulch. Looks sharp, holds moisture and keeps the weeds down.

08

Turf Supply And Install

New lawn supplied and laid, whether it's a patch that's given up or a whole backyard.

Paving and makeovers too

A forgotten side path, turned into a spot you actually want to sit.

“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

Got acres?
Good.

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
