Two Brisbane brothers who love working outdoors

The Upkeep Guys started because reliable help with a lawn or garden is surprisingly hard to find. We set out to fix that.

Our story

Switching it up — and getting outdoors

We are two Brisbane brothers, Michael and Stephen, switching things up a little. Michael owns a private gym and has been a personal trainer for over 15 years, and for the last seven years he has spent most weekends working on his small property at Maryvale — where he discovered a real love for working outdoors.

Stephen worked for 20 years as a software engineer and is changing it up to get out of the office. We are both fit, healthy Brisbane locals, and we saw a real need for reliable property and garden help in the years ahead.

So we started a friendly garden care and general upkeep business to look after the people who need it — neighbours, busy families and anyone who would simply rather hand the outdoor jobs to someone they can trust.
