What we do

Three jobs, done properly

We are not a mow-and-go outfit. Every visit ends with crisp edges, clean paths and closed gates, because the edges are what your neighbours actually notice.

Lawn mowing and edging

Fortnightly or monthly runs for buffalo, couch and zoysia lawns. Cut height matched to your grass type and the season.

  • Edges done with a blade, not just a whipper snipper pass
  • Paths and driveway blown down every visit
  • Clippings caught and removed, or mulched on request

Hedge and shrub trimming

Lilly pilly, murraya and bougainvillea shaped flat and square, with every clipping raked out of the beds afterwards.

  • Hedges up to 4 metres, no scaffolding needed
  • Trimmed on a 6 to 8 week cycle so they never look shaggy
  • All green waste taken away in the trailer

Garden tidy-ups

One-off resets for overgrown yards, pre-sale spruce-ups and end of wet season blowouts. Before and after photos included.

  • Weeding, pruning, mulching and rubbish removal
  • Most yards reset in a single day
  • Quoted as one fixed number, never by the hour

The details matter

Straight edges, square hedges

Anyone can push a mower. The difference between a mown yard and a finished yard is the last 20 percent: the blade edge along the driveway, the hedge face checked with a string line, the beds raked clean after trimming. That last 20 percent is the whole reason we exist.

Built for Mackay weather

A plan for both seasons

Mackay grass does not grow evenly through the year, so a one-size schedule either wastes your money in July or lets the yard get away in January. We run two schedules and switch automatically.

Wet season

November to April

With 30 degree days and afternoon storms, couch and buffalo can put on 40 mm a week. Fortnightly is the minimum that keeps a lawn under control.

  • Strict fortnightly visits, weekly available on request
  • Cut height raised to protect roots in the heat
  • Rained-out visits rebooked within 48 hours, never skipped
  • Storm clean-ups for regulars within 72 hours

Dry season

May to October

Growth slows right down, so we stretch mowing out and spend the difference where it counts: hedges, beds and the jobs the wet season never leaves time for.

  • Visits stretch to every 3 to 4 weeks, and your bill drops with them
  • Hedge shaping and structural pruning while growth is slow
  • Beds mulched to 75 mm before the heat returns
  • October pre-wet service: mower height reset, edges redefined

How it works

From enquiry to first mow in 5 days

  1. Two minute quote form

    Five fields, no phone tag. A yard photo helps us price it tighter but is optional. Forms sent by 5pm get answered the same evening.

  2. Fixed price within 24 hours

    You get one number in writing, valid for 30 days. No ranges, no "from" tricks, no revising it upward once we see the yard.

  3. First visit within 5 working days

    We book you into the run for your side of town and text the day before with an arrival window of two hours, not a whole day.

  4. The cut, finished properly

    Mow, blade the edges, trim, blow down paths, close the gates. Then two photos texted to you before we leave the kerb, every single time.

  5. Pay after, not before

    Invoice lands the same day, pay by card or bank transfer. No deposits, no lock-in. Going away for a month? Pause with one text.

Beyond the lawn

Gardens that survive the wet

A Mackay garden bed without mulch is a weed farm by February. Our tidy-ups cut everything back, pull the beds clean and lay mulch at a proper 75 mm depth, which holds moisture through the dry and smothers weeds through the wet.

Landlords and property managers: we photograph every bed before and after, so your entry and exit reports write themselves.

"Third mowing bloke we tried and the first who actually turns up on the day he says. The photo after each visit is a small thing but it means I never have to check."
Homeowner, Andergrove
Sample review ★★★★★
"Quoted Tuesday night, yard done Friday. The tidy-up price looked steep next to an hourly guy until I saw what one fixed number actually covers. Whole trailer of green waste gone."
Rental owner, Rural View
Sample review ★★★★★
"They dropped our visits back in the dry season without being asked and the invoice dropped too. Try getting that out of a contract mob."

Straight answers

Questions we get every week

Why is my quote higher than the $55 starting price?

Three things move the number: size, access and condition. A 1,000 m² block takes roughly twice the time of a 450 m² one. A backyard we cannot get the big mower into adds 15 to 20 minutes of push mowing. And a lawn that has not been cut in two months needs a double cut on the first visit.

Whatever the reasons, they are all baked into the one number we send you. The price never changes after we see the yard.

What happens when it rains on my scheduled day?

We text you by 7am, rebook within 48 hours and keep your position in the run. In a proper wet week we prioritise by how long each lawn has waited, not by who shouts loudest. Rained-out visits are never silently skipped, which is the number one complaint people bring us from their last mowing service.

Do you take the grass clippings and hedge trimmings away?

Yes, it is included in every price. The trailer holds 6 m³, which covers almost any residential job in one load. Tidy-ups that generate more than a trailer load are flagged in the quote up front, so there is never a surprise tip fee on the invoice.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. There is nothing to sign, ever. You can pause for a holiday, drop from fortnightly to monthly, or stop altogether with a single text. About 9 in 10 clients who start a fortnightly run are still on it a year later, and that is the only retention scheme we run.

Do I need to be home? What about dogs and gates?

Most clients are at work when we visit. Give us the gate code or leave it unlocked on your day, and tell us about dogs in the quote form. We close every gate before we leave and the photos we text you are your proof. If a locked gate stops us getting in, we text you first rather than charging a wasted call-out. The fee for that is $0.

Are you insured, and who actually turns up?

Fully insured with $10M public liability cover (sample). The person who quotes your yard is the person who mows it. We do not subcontract, which is exactly why our service area is a list of suburbs and not "all of Queensland".

The yard can be sorted by Friday

Two minutes on the form, an exact price within 24 hours, first mow within 5 working days. That is the whole deal.
