Gardening & Lawn Care: Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a professional gardener cost in Australia?

Gardeners charge $40–$80/hr for regular maintenance. A standard garden maintenance visit (mowing, edging, weeding, pruning) for a typical suburban property costs $100–$250 per visit. One-off clean-ups cost $300–$1,500 depending on the garden's condition and size.

How often should I schedule professional garden maintenance?

Most residential gardens benefit from monthly maintenance in cooler months and fortnightly in spring/summer when growth is fastest. High-maintenance gardens (formal hedges, large lawns, extensive plantings) may need weekly attention. A good gardener will advise on the right schedule for your specific garden.

What is included in a regular garden maintenance service?

A standard garden maintenance service typically includes: lawn mowing and edging, garden bed weeding, hedge and shrub trimming, leaf and debris removal, and plant health checks. Additional services like fertilising, mulching, and pest treatment are usually extra. Confirm exactly what's included when booking.

What plants grow best in my Australian climate zone?

Australia has seven main climate zones. Tropical/subtropical (QLD coast, NT, northern WA) suit native palms, frangipanis, and tropicals. Mediterranean zones (Perth, Adelaide, parts of VIC coast) suit drought-tolerant natives and Mediterranean plants. Cool temperate (VIC, TAS highlands) suits English-style gardens. Ask your local nursery or gardener for zone-specific advice.

When is the best time to fertilise my lawn in Australia?

Fertilise warm-season grasses (couch, buffalo, kikuyu, zoysia) in spring and again in early summer when they're actively growing. Cool-season grasses (fescue, ryegrass) are best fertilised in autumn. Avoid fertilising in summer heat or immediately before rain — it can burn grass or wash off. Slow-release fertilisers are lower-maintenance.

How do I fix a patchy, struggling lawn in Australia?

Identify the cause first: shade (remove obstacles or oversow with shade-tolerant mix), soil compaction (aerate), poor drainage (install drainage), lawn grub damage (treat with insecticide), or nutrient deficiency (soil test and fertilise). Most patchy lawns respond to aeration, fertilising, top dressing, and overseeding in the right season.
