Essential Care
A fixed monthly garden maintenance plan for busy Canberra households who want a tidy lawn, clean garden beds and a sharp finish every visit — no chasing, no surprise invoices.
Everything your garden needs, nothing it doesn't.
Essential Care is built around Canberra's distinct four seasons. Each visit is purposeful — we don't just turn up and mow. We address the right job for the right month, and your weeds, edges and clean-up are handled every single time.
Best of all: the same crew turns up on the same day each month. They learn your garden's quirks, your favourite plants, and the back gate trick.
Lawn mowing & edging
Crisp lines and a sharp finish — eight months of the year, plus the prime growing season.
Weed control & blow-down
Garden beds and paved areas weeded and blown clean on every visit, all year round.
Hedge pruning (twice yearly)
Major hedge pruning and reductions in April, plus a tidy-up in September before spring.
Deciduous & fruit tree pruning
Winter pruning in July and August — done at exactly the right time for healthy spring growth.
Autumn leaf clean-up
The Canberra autumn drop is handled in May and June — including gutter cleaning to keep things flowing.
Green waste removed
Everything we cut, we cart away in the pink trailer. You never see a clipping or a bag.
Made for the tidy-but-busy household.
Essential Care suits homes that just want their garden looking respectable, all year, with no thinking involved. It's the most popular entry point for our Inner North clients in Ainslie, O'Connor, Downer and Watson.
You'll always have crisp edges, clean beds and a sharp finish — and we handle the seasonal jobs (hedges, trees, gutters, leaves) at the right time so nothing slips through the cracks.
If your garden has more demanding features — established roses, mulched beds that need refreshing, or a lawn you'd like to aerate annually — you may prefer Complete Maintenance or Total Property Care.
