Professional lawn mowing and gardening in Garran

Garran lawn mowing starts from $50 for a small lawn that is already kept up. A typical Garran house with front and back lawns costs $70 to $150+ for a mow, edges and blow-down, gardening is from $70 a visit, and an overgrown lawn between tenants is quoted as a recovery job from $100 to $250+. A local operator gives the final figure after seeing the block.

In Garran’s sixty-year-old streets the sunny front lawn is usually couch or kikuyu, which goes straw-coloured from about May to September, while the shaded southern side or the patch under mature trees is often tall fescue, which holds its green all winter and needs the odd cut. Both are normal; they just want different mowing heights and feeding dates.

Yes. Hedging, pruning, weeding, mulching and clean-ups start from $70 a visit in Garran, including the low-fuss upkeep landlords want between inspections and the heavier work older gardens on the Davidson Hill side need.

Garran sits on Silurian-age volcanic rock, tuff around the hospital, Ingamells Street and the base of Davidson Hill, and rhyodacite under the Fitchett Street and Couvreur Street areas, with the usual Canberra clay-based topsoil over it. Lawns on that clay compact easily and brown off in patches, so coring in October or March and a bit of gypsum and organic matter do more good than extra fertiliser.
