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

Rental & Section Clean-Ups in Ōhauiti
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. Ōhauiti’s mix of established rental stock near the shops and freshly finished hillside new builds means clean-ups here can mean very different things depending on the property. We scope it properly and give a fixed price before starting.
From $249per clean-up
Fixed price agreed before we start — nothing added after.
- One-off, fixed-price visits
- Scoped and photographed before starting
- Property managers welcome, invoiced direct

Three things decide the scope of a clean-up
A rental turnover and an overgrown section are different jobs.
A tenancy turnover usually needs a fast, thorough general tidy. A sale prep leans harder on presentation and kerb appeal, especially where there’s a view to show off.
Rental turnovers especially can involve dumped rubbish alongside overgrown lawn and garden, which changes the scope significantly.

Why a fixed-price scope beats an hourly clean-up
Property managers need a number they can act on, not an estimate.
Hourly quoteFinal cost unknown until finished
Fixed price after site checkApproved once, no surprises
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.
The price you approve is the price on the invoice. No surprises, no running hourly clock on an unseen job.

Established property or new-build section — it changes the scope
Ōhauiti runs from a settled, flatter core to sections still being built out on the hill.
An established Ōhauiti rental near Ohauiti Road can build up a neglected lawn and garden fairly quickly between tenancies, sometimes with rubbish left behind too. A clean-up on a hillside new-build section is a different job — often the first tidy since handover, clearing leftover builders’ debris and getting a freshly turfed lawn presentable for its first open home or tenancy, with the view usually doing a lot of the selling once the section’s tidy.
Established property
- Overgrown lawn and beds most common
- Fence-line and boundary growth to clear
- Rubbish left by previous tenants, if any
- Standard tidy-up scope usually applies
New-build section
- First tidy since construction handover
- Builders’ debris sometimes still present
- Young lawn needs a gentler first mow
- Kerb-appeal and view focus for open-home prep
We scope from what’s actually on site, not the property type alone. Two clean-ups can need very different amounts of work regardless of how new or established the section is.
What it costs
Clean-ups start at $249. Fixed once we’ve looked, with green waste already in it — nothing added after.

Peak demandStandard demandQuiet season
Tenancy turnovers don’t follow the growing season. Demand tracks lease cycles and sale listings year-round, and handover clean-ups on hillside new-build sections add a steady stream of their own on top of that.
We manage a handful of rentals around Ōhauiti 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.
