What’s in the cleanup

One booking. Every job your backyard needs

Most backyard cleaning services in Sydney bolt on extras. Ours doesn’t. Mowing, weeding, hedge work, leaf clearing and the truckload of green waste at the end are all part of the fixed quote, no surprise add-ons.

Lawn mowing & edging

We mow the lawn to a healthy height, sharpen the edges along paths and beds, and whipper-snipper the tight corners your mower can’t reach.

Weed removal

Beds, lawn edges, between pavers, along fence lines. For heavier infestations our dedicated weeding service can be paired in.

Hedge & shrub trimming

Hedges shaped back to clean lines, shrubs lifted off fences and shaped for airflow. Light pruning on small trees included. See hedge trimming.

Leaf & debris clearing

Fallen leaves, twigs, palm fronds, post-storm debris, raked, bagged and removed from lawns, paths, decks and garden beds.

Garden bed tidy-up

Beds cleaned out, deadheaded and re-edged. A fresh mulch top-up available as an add-on to lock in the look.

Path & paver sweep

Pavers, driveways and pool surrounds swept down. Weeds pulled from joints. Heavier paving repairs can be quoted on the same visit.

Gutter check & clear

A visual gutter inspection and clearing of accessible single-storey gutters during the cleanup so seasonal debris doesn’t end up back on your lawn next storm.

Backyard rubbish removal

Every clipping, branch and bag is loaded into our truck. Standalone garden rubbish removal also booked separately if you’ve already done the work.

Final walk-through

We walk the yard with you (or send before-and-after photos) before we leave, work isn’t done until the property looks the way you wanted.

When you need this

The right moment for a proper yard clean up

Most Sydney homeowners don’t book a backyard cleaning service because their grass is a bit long. They book because something’s changed an event, a season, a storm, a sale, or a yard that finally got past them.

Pre-event prep

You’ve got people coming over

BBQ, birthday, Christmas lunch, family weekend. We turn around a yard-clean in days so the backyard’s ready before the first guest arrives.

Post-storm

Sydney’s just been hit

Fallen branches, scattered leaves, a downed limb on the lawn. We clear post-storm yards quickly and remove every piece of debris from site.

End of lease

Handover inspection is looming

A presentation-grade clean that meets real estate handover standards, with photos and a clean invoice you can pass to your agent.

Overgrown / neglected

It’s gotten away from you

An inherited property, a deceased estate, a yard that’s beyond DIY. We handle the heavy first-cut and leave it manageable from there.

Holiday return

You’ve been away too long

Three weeks in Europe, a winter in Queensland. We restore yards that have been left to themselves and get them back to manageable.

Post-renovation

The tradies have left

Building waste, dust, trampled garden beds. We finish the job the builders left behind so the yard matches the renovation.

Seasonal reset

Winter to spring (or summer to autumn)

The big seasonal blitz that resets the yard for the next six months. Pair with our seasonal garden care guide.

Pre-sale

You’re putting the home on the market

Auction photos, open homes, building inspections, first impressions of the backyard matter. We get it presentation-ready for the campaign.

Plan your approach

One-off clean, ongoing care, or DIY?

A backyard clean up isn’t always the right call, sometimes you want a maintenance contract, sometimes the job is small enough to handle yourself. Here’s how the three stack up.

For most Sydney homes, a major cleanup twice a year, once at the end of winter and once before the holidays, keeps the yard in good shape. Properties with heavy tree cover or busy outdoor use are often better served by a quarterly schedule. See our monthly Sydney yard care calendar for a planning guide.
