Lawn & garden care inPāpāmoa

All of them, along with Pāpāmoa Beach, the Hills and out toward Te Tumu. You do not need to check your street — the whole suburb is on our route.

Almost certainly salt burn rather than disease. Onshore wind carries salt and browns whichever face is taking the weather, while the sheltered side of the same plant looks perfect. We trim windward faces lightly so foliage always protects the growth behind. Where a plant simply cannot cope on this coast, we will say so rather than keep trimming a losing battle.

Usually mowing height. On sand a lawn cut short has nothing shading its own soil, so it dries out first; lifting the height through summer is the cheapest fix there is. If it is still browning, the feeding is probably too heavy and too infrequent, which is exactly what a lighter weed control and fertilisation programme sorts out.

A good part of what we do here. Sort access, tell us about gates or dogs, and photos land in your inbox once each visit is done, whichever city you are in. For short-stay listings, give us your changeover days and a section clean-up or regular garden maintenance visit is fitted around them.

Every week through the summer months, every second week in spring and autumn, then only every three to four weeks in winter, as the chart above shows. Skipping winter altogether leaves a much bigger job in September. Your mowing schedule moves with the season.

Yes. Shared lawns and gardens across the newer subdivisions, and the grounds of shops and community buildings, run on a fixed schedule through commercial grounds maintenance. You get a single monthly invoice.

Yes to both. Disposal is already in the figure, we do not charge to come and look, and the invoice matches the price agreed at the start. A compact beach section and a quarter acre in Te Tumu are very different jobs, so size is what moves the number. The starting figure for each service is in the pricing section above.
