How often should I mow my lawn in Perth?

We can set up a regular maintenance schedule that matches your lawn's needs.

What does inspection-ready garden maintenance include?
Inspection-ready garden maintenance is a comprehensive service that includes complete lawn mowing and edging, weeding of all garden beds, pruning and trimming of shrubs and hedges, fresh mulch application, and general debris removal. This service is designed for rental property inspections, end-of-lease obligations, or property sales preparation.
What's the best mulch for Perth gardens?
For Perth's sandy soils, organic mulch such as bark mulch or compost mulch works best. These types help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil structure over time. At Green Shoots Gardening, we use premium mulch suitable for Western Australia's conditions. Contact us for recommendations specific to your garden.
How do I prepare my garden for a rental inspection?
Our inspection-ready garden maintenance service handles everything. We'll mow and edge your lawn, weed all garden beds, prune overgrown plants, apply fresh mulch, and clean up debris. This ensures your garden meets inspection standards. Book this service 1-2 days before your inspection for best results.
