What we look after

Straightforward property maintenance, done properly and on schedule — whether it's your own section or a portfolio of properties you manage, so everything stays presentable without you having to think about it.

Lawn & section mowing

Push and ride-on mowers on hand, so we can handle anything from a small lawn to a full section on a schedule that matches the season.

Edging

Crisp, defined borders along paths, driveways and garden beds for a finished look.

Hedge cutting

Clean, level trims that keep hedges healthy and boundaries well-defined.

Garden maintenance

Weeding, tidying and general upkeep so beds and borders stay under control between visits.

Brushcutting & scrub clearing

Overgrown sections, banks and rough ground cut back and cleared where a mower can't reach.

Planting & garden refreshes

New plantings and seasonal refreshes to lift tired beds and borders.

Weed control

Beds, paths and gravel areas kept weed-free with regular chemical or manual control.

Irrigation

Irrigation systems checked, adjusted and repaired to keep lawns and gardens watered efficiently.

Fertilising

Season-appropriate feeding programmes for lawns and garden plants, keeping everything thick, green and healthy.

Rubbish removal

Green waste and general rubbish taken away, so you're not left dealing with the disposal yourself.

Gutter cleaning

Clearing leaves and debris so gutters drain properly and don't overflow through the seasons.

Water blasting

Driveways, paths and decks blasted clean of grime, moss and built-up dirt.

Commercial & body corporate

One point of contact, multiple sites

We work with property managers and body corporate committees who need grounds maintained to a consistent standard across several properties, on one schedule and one invoice — not a separate arrangement per site.

  • Fixed maintenance schedule

    Set visit frequency per site, adjusted seasonally, so committees and managers can plan around it.

  • Consolidated invoicing

    One invoice covering multiple properties or a portfolio, rather than paperwork per job.

  • Single point of contact

    One person accountable for every site on the contract, not a rotating crew with no continuity.

  • Insurance & compliance

    Public liability cover and health & safety documentation provided as part of any commercial proposal.

Commercial enquiries

If you manage a body corporate, apartment complex, or a portfolio of rental or commercial properties in Queenstown, we'd like to talk about taking grounds maintenance off your list.

Why us

Most of our work comes from referrals

We'd rather earn new clients through the ones we already have than through advertising — that's the standard we hold ourselves to on every property.

Consistent, on schedule

Visits happen when they're meant to, without chasing us for updates.

20 years local knowledge

Almost two decades servicing Queenstown, so we know how the district's climate affects growth and plan accordingly.

Straightforward to deal with

Clear communication, fair pricing, no surprises.

Careers

Join the team

Already doing landscaping or grounds work somewhere else? If you're good at what you do and feel capped out where you are, we're a small, locally-owned Queenstown business — almost 20 years running — offering decent pay, real career progression, and none of the corporate layers that come with the bigger outfits.

  • Decent, competitive pay

    Paid properly for the skill and work rate you bring — not junior rates for experienced work.

  • Real career progression

    A small business means a clear path forward — more responsibility, more pay, not stuck as a number in a big crew.

  • Small, locally-run business

    You'll know the owner and he'll know you — not a head office somewhere else making the calls.

  • Steady, year-round work

    Consistent hours across the seasons with a growing commercial client base — not just a summer gig.

  • Flexible, with real time off

    We live in Queenstown too — if you need time off for a powder day, a bike mission or just life, we work with you on it.

What we look for
  • Reliable, on time, takes pride in the work
  • Comfortable with physical, outdoor work in all weather
  • A full, clean driver's licence
  • Already experienced in landscaping or grounds work? Even better — we'll pay for it

No vacancy listed right now, but if you're good at what you do and ready for more than your current role offers, we want to hear from you regardless — get in touch and we'll keep you in mind.

Also taking on seasonal staff

Our crew size moves with the season — busier through spring and summer, smaller over winter. If full-time isn't what you're after right now, seasonal roles are available too.

What to include

Your address, roughly how big the section is, and which services you're after — mowing, edging, hedges, or a full tidy-up. We'll follow up from there.
