Green Estates Gardening provides garden maintenance in North Lakes and Mango Hill on a scheduled, fixed-price basis: hedge trimming, garden bed weeding, mulching, weed control and lawn mowing on one visit with one invoice. It suits estate homes with covenant standards and townhouse body corporates that need common areas kept consistently.
Part of our garden maintenance service across Moreton Bay and Somerset. This page covers what is different about North Lakes.
Garden maintenance in North Lakes: what a scheduled round covers
Most of what we do in North Lakes and Mango Hill is a maintenance package rather than a single service. A typical visit is the lawn mown and edged, the boundary hedges checked and trimmed when they are due, garden beds weeded, spent flowers and dead fronds removed, paths blown down and a note of anything that needs attention before the next visit. Twice a year the hedges get their shaping cut; every spring the beds get a fresh 75 millimetres of mulch. It is the routine the landscape was designed for, done by the same crew each time.
Hedges in North Lakes
The estate's boundary screens are almost all lilly pilly 'Resilience', murraya or viburnum, planted at a metre spacing and now three metres tall. They need a main cut in early spring, a light tidy in mid-summer and a final trim in autumn to stay dense from the ground up and inside the fence line. Low box and dwarf lilly pilly hedges along front paths want clipping every six to eight weeks in the growing season. We time cuts to the growth flushes rather than a fixed date, and every clipping leaves on the trailer.
Beds, mulch and weeds
North Lakes beds were mulched once, at handover, and most have never been topped up. We weed by hand, treat nutgrass and running weeds with a registered product at label rates, re-cut the bed edges so the buffalo stops creeping in, and lay hardwood or forest mulch in spring so the beds hold moisture through summer and stay weed-free. For lawns, bindii is treated in winter and lawn grub watched for in February.
Body corporates, rentals and busy households
Townhouse complexes from Lake Eden to Capestone put their common lawns, hedges, beds and entry plantings on our scheduled round with a single fixed price per visit and photos for the committee. Property managers use the same package between tenants. For owner-occupiers it means the covenant letter never arrives and the weekend is theirs. The mowing side of the package is covered in detail on our lawn mowing North Lakes page.
Why North Lakes chooses Green Estates
One local operator for everything the landscape needs, on a set day, at a fixed price, with no contract. Based in Wamuran and running North Lakes, Mango Hill, Griffin and Murrumba Downs as one round, we have kept estate gardens to covenant standard for more than 13 years.
Frequently asked questions about garden maintenance in North Lakes
What does garden maintenance cost in North Lakes?
It depends on the size of the garden, the number and height of the hedges and how often you want us. A monthly package for a standard North Lakes block covering mowing, hedges as due, bed weeding and blow-down is quoted as one fixed price per visit; spring mulching is quoted separately by the cubic metre. Send photos or the address for a fixed quote.
How often should garden maintenance be done in North Lakes?
Fortnightly mowing through summer with the beds and hedges checked on each visit, a main hedge cut in early spring, a light trim in mid-summer and autumn, and mulch topped up every spring. Most North Lakes gardens stay in covenant condition on a fortnightly summer and monthly winter round.
Do you do garden maintenance for body corporates in North Lakes?
Yes. Common lawns, boundary hedges, entry plantings and garden beds at townhouse complexes across North Lakes and Mango Hill are maintained on a scheduled round with one fixed price per visit, one invoice to the body corporate and photos after each visit.
Can you bring an overgrown North Lakes garden back to standard?
Yes. A one-off reset visit clears the beds, brings hedges back towards shape in stages, treats weeds and removes all green waste, then the garden goes onto a normal maintenance round. Hedges that have got well out of shape are reduced over a season so they recover dense rather than bare.
