A property maintained until recently is a quick tidy. One left several months is a much bigger job across lawn, garden and rubbish.

Between tenants, before a sale, or after a section’s been left for a season — a clean-up visit is about getting a property back to a presentable standard in one go, not an ongoing maintenance plan. Matua’s older rental stock and established sections mean clean-ups here often involve more accumulated growth than a newer property would. We scope it properly and give a fixed price before starting.
Tell us the situation and rough timeframe and we’ll scope a fixed price.
A rental turnover and an overgrown section are different jobs.
A property maintained until recently is a quick tidy. One left several months is a much bigger job across lawn, garden and rubbish.
A tenancy turnover usually needs a fast, thorough general tidy. A sale prep leans harder on presentation and kerb appeal.
Rental turnovers especially can involve dumped rubbish alongside overgrown lawn and garden, which changes the scope significantly.
Property managers need a number they can act on, not an estimate.
An hourly rate on an unseen property is a guess dressed up as a quote — nobody actually knows how long an overgrown section takes until someone’s standing in it.
We assess the site first, whether that’s photos sent through or a quick visit, and give a fixed price before any work starts. What’s approved is what gets invoiced.
That matters most for property managers working through multiple properties. A fixed number is something that can be approved on the spot and passed on to an owner without a follow-up call.
If something genuinely changes the scope once we’re on site — say, rubbish nobody mentioned — we’ll stop and confirm before continuing, not just run the clock.
Lawn, garden and rubbish, handled in one coordinated visit.
Scoped before we start — the fixed price covers exactly what was agreed, nothing more, nothing less.
Photos are standard on every clean-up. Property managers and owners get a clear before-and-after record without having to visit the site themselves.
Matua runs from tight inland rental streets to open ground along Beach Road.
Matua’s inland streets carry a mix of older rental properties where a neglected lawn and garden can build up quickly between tenancies. Closer to Beach Road and the saltmarsh, section clean-ups more often involve storm debris or salt-affected planting on top of the standard lawn and garden work.
We scope from what’s actually on site, not the property type alone. Two rental turnovers on the same street can need very different amounts of work.
Fixed once we’ve looked. Green waste and GST are both already in it.
Photos or a quick site visit get you an accurate fixed price fast. Property managers can send photos through and usually have a number back the same day.
Driven by tenancy cycles and property sales as much as the season.
Tenancy turnovers don’t follow the growing season. Demand tracks lease cycles and sale listings year-round, though a section left over summer near the harbour tends to need the biggest single clean-up of the lot.
We manage a handful of rentals around Matua and these guys have become our go-to for turnovers — fixed price agreed before they start, photos sent through when it’s done, invoiced straight to the office. One property had been left for months and they still had it presentable within a day.
Mostly about the job rather than about us, which is how it should be.
Yes, we regularly invoice property managers directly rather than the tenant or owner.
Urgent turnovers can often be scheduled within 24 to 48 hours, depending on current bookings.
Yes, photos are included as standard on every clean-up visit.
Yes, every price we give includes GST.
It can. Harbour-facing sections sometimes carry storm debris or salt-affected planting on top of standard lawn and garden work.
We’ll stop and confirm any change in scope with you before continuing, rather than just running the job longer.
Yes, rubbish removal is included where it’s part of the agreed scope.
It’s a one-off by design — clean-ups are fixed-price single visits, with no ongoing commitment required.
Most people add one or two of these, since we’re already on the property.
