Autumn Leaf Cleanups
Yarraville's many mature trees drop massive amounts of leaves in autumn. We can blow leaves off pathways, clear them from lawns to keep the grass healthy, and remove all green waste from your property.
Compact Backyard Access
We utilise narrow-chassis electric mowers and lightweight blowers that can easily glide through small side pathways without disruption.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get my lawn mowed in Yarraville?
From Yarraville's tight historic village yards to the larger ones further out, we look after
yards of all shapes and sizes. How often do we cut their grass? Amongst other factors, this
not only depends on the amount it rains or how much sunlight it's exposed to, but the type
of the grass itself. So the actual answer is: it varies.
But as a rule of thumb, you should get a quality mow at least once every 3 weeks during the
peak growing months of October to March. This will keep your lawn healthy and looking its
absolute best. In the colder months of May to August, growth slows down significantly, so
you will find that once every 4 to 5 weeks is usually enough.
How do you handle autumn leaf cleanups in Yarraville's tree-lined streets?
Deciduous trees drop heavy leaf loads during autumn. We use powerful leaf blowers to bunch the leaves together so we can easily sweep them up. We can then put them in your green waste bin or take them away in our trailer if necessary (this comes at an additional cost, however).
Can your electric equipment handle cottage yard access?
Absolutely. Our equipment is entirely battery-powered, meaning no loud noises, no exhaust fumes, and a compact size that easily negotiates Yarraville village's narrow gates.
How often should hedges be trimmed here?
Fast-growing hedges (like lilly pilly or pittosporum) require trimming every 6 to 8 weeks during the warmer months to stay neat and dense. On the other hand, slow-growing hedges (such as box hedges) generally only need shaping once or twice a year to keep their structured form.
