Regular Mowing
Keep Your Lawn Pristine with Expert Mowing Services in the Hunter Region
Our professional lawn mowing services cater to commercial, residential, and strata properties across the Hunter region, ensuring your grass stays healthy, attractive, and safe year-round. Proper mowing is more than just trimming—it promotes dense, vibrant turf by encouraging healthy growth, controlling weeds, and preventing pests.
We tailor mowing frequency to the season: every 5–10 days in spring and summer, 10–20 days in autumn, and as needed in winter to maintain a pristine lawn without stressing your grass. Regular mowing enhances root depth, improves drought tolerance, reduces pest habitats, and boosts overall curb appeal.

Edging
Achieve Sharp, Stunning Lawn Edges with Expert Edging Services in Newcastle, Maitland and Port Stephens.
Our professional edging services for commercial, residential, and strata properties in the Hunter region ensure your garden beds, paths, and driveways have clean, defined borders that elevate your landscape’s appeal. Proper edging prevents turf encroachment, retains mulch, controls erosion, and protects hardscapes, giving your outdoor space a polished, well-maintained look.
We customise edging styles—straight, curved, or geometric—and trim both grass blades and roots to reduce regrowth and maintenance. For optimal results, we recommend monthly edging during active growth periods and extra care after storms or heavy growth spurts.

We customise treatments based on weed species, growth stage, and garden sensitivity to minimise impact on desirable plants.
Effective weeding preserves soil quality, prevents invasive spread, protects young plants, reduces pests, and lowers overall garden maintenance time. We recommend regular weeding during growing seasons, adjusting frequency to weed pressure for best results.

Aeration
Revitalise Your Lawn with Professional Aeration Services in the Hunter Region
Our expert lawn aeration services for commercial, residential, and strata properties in the Hunter region relieve soil compaction by creating small holes that improve air, water, and nutrient flow to grassroots. This essential process promotes healthier, deeper roots and boosts overall turf vitality.
We use core, spike, or liquid aeration methods tailored to your soil type and condition, ensuring effective treatment with minimal turf disruption. Typically performed once or twice a year—more for heavy-use or compacted clay soils—our aeration helps reduce thatch, improve moisture retention, and support beneficial microbial activity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you provide lawn mowing and edging services to?
We service commercial, residential, and strata properties across Newcastle, Maitland, Port Stephens, and the wider Hunter region.
How often should I have my lawn mowed and edged?
During peak growth seasons, mowing and edging every 5–10 days is recommended; frequency may reduce in cooler months. Edging is typically best done monthly or more often if growth is rapid.
What is the benefit of professional edging compared to DIY?
Professional edging creates clean, defined borders that protect garden beds, reduce weed spread, improve water drainage, and enhance overall property appearance.
Do you offer eco-friendly weed control options?
Yes, we combine manual weeding with targeted, eco-friendly herbicides to safely manage weeds while protecting your garden’s health.
Can I schedule all lawn care services together?
Absolutely. We provide integrated lawn care solutions including mowing, edging, weed control, fertilising, aeration, scarifying, whipper snipping, and top dressing to keep your lawn in top condition year-round.
How do you determine the best fertilising program for my lawn?
Our team conducts soil analyses to recommend fertiliser types and application frequencies tailored to your lawn’s specific nutrient needs.
What types of aeration do you perform and who benefits most?
We use core, spike, and liquid aeration methods depending on soil condition. Aeration benefits lawns suffering from compaction, heavy use, or poor drainage.
Is scarifying necessary for all lawns?
Not all lawns require scarifying; it depends on the thatch layer thickness. We assess your lawn and recommend scarifying only when beneficial.
How do you protect plants and hardscapes during whipper snipping?
Our trained operators adjust equipment settings, trimming direction, and height to avoid damage and conduct thorough site inspections for sensitive areas.
When is the best time to top dress my lawn?
Top dressing is most effective after aeration or scarifying, typically once or twice a year, to restore soil health and improve surface evenness.
How can I tell if my lawn has a pest infestation?
Common signs include brown or thinning patches, wilting grass, irregular digging or tunnels, and visible insects like grubs or caterpillars. Early detection helps prevent severe damage.
How soon will I see results after pest control treatment?
Results vary depending on the pest and treatment used, but most clients notice significant improvement within two to three weeks as pest populations decline and turf begins recovery.
Can pest control be combined with other lawn care services?
Absolutely. We integrate pest control with fertilising, aeration, and mowing programs to support overall lawn health and resilience, providing a comprehensive care plan tailored to your needs.
How long does it take for newly laid turf to establish?
New turf typically establishes strong roots within 2 to 3 weeks with proper watering and care. Full integration into your soil and optimal health usually develop over 6 to 8 weeks.
Can turf be laid year-round, or is there a best season?
While turf can be laid year-round in the Hunter region, autumn and spring offer ideal conditions with moderate temperatures and rainfall, helping the grass establish faster and stronger.
How does trip hazard marking improve safety on my property?
Trip hazard marking clearly identifies uneven surfaces, exposed roots, and other potential dangers, alerting everyone on site and helping to prevent trips, falls, and injuries—boosting overall safety and reducing liability risks.
