Everything you need to know about how we work, what we do, and what to expect from Winning Lawns and Gardens.

General

Working with us

What areas do you service?

We service Paddington, Rosalie, Bardon, Red Hill, Kelvin Grove, Milton, Auchenflower, Toowong, St Lucia and Indooroopilly. If you're nearby and not on this list, call Harry on 0450 783 890 and he'll let you know if we can help.

What are your operating hours?

We operate Monday to Friday, 7:00am to 5:00pm. We don't work weekends — this lets the team maintain consistent standards rather than fitting in rushed jobs around a seven-day week.

How do I get a quote?

Call Harry on 0450 783 890, or fill in the contact form on our website. He typically gets back to enquiries the same day. For most properties he can provide a firm quote from a photo or a quick site visit.

Do I need to be home when you come?

Not at all. For most lawn and garden services, we just need access to your yard. Harry will confirm access arrangements with you when booking, and we'll send an SMS before we arrive.

Do you offer one-off services or only regular maintenance?

We offer both. One-off jobs — cleanups, pre-sale tidy-ups, restoration visits — are a regular part of our work. Many clients start with a one-off and then move to a scheduled maintenance arrangement.

Do you remove green waste from the property?

Yes. All green waste — lawn clippings (if requested), trimmings, weeds and debris — can be removed and responsibly disposed of as part of your service. Just let us know when booking.

Lawn Mowing

Lawn care questions

How often should I have my lawn mowed?

Most Brisbane inner-west lawns need mowing every 2–3 weeks during the warmer months (October–March) and every 4–6 weeks in winter. Harry will advise the right frequency for your specific turf type during your first visit.

What grass types do you mow?

We mow all common Brisbane turf varieties including Buffalo, Sir Walter, Couch, Zoysia, Kikuyu and Paspalum. Harry is a qualified horticulturist and sets blade height correctly for each species.

What's included in a standard mow?

Mowing the full lawn area, edging along paths, driveways and garden beds, blowing down hard surfaces, and a visual check for weeds or pest issues worth flagging. Clippings are mulched back or removed if preferred.

Can you mow steep terrain?

Yes. We're experienced with the hilly terrain in Bardon, Red Hill and surrounds. We use appropriate equipment for safe, quality results on any gradient.

Garden Maintenance

Garden care questions

How often should I schedule garden maintenance?

Most inner-west gardens benefit from a maintenance visit every 4–6 weeks. High-growth gardens in summer may need more frequent attention. Harry will recommend a schedule after seeing your property.

Can you deal with overgrown or neglected gardens?

Yes — a one-off restoration visit is something we handle regularly. We'll assess what the garden needs, work through it systematically, and can set up ongoing maintenance to keep it from getting away from you again.

Can you advise on plant selection for Brisbane?

Harry is a qualified horticulturist and happy to advise on plant selection for Brisbane's subtropical climate. Whether replanting a bed or looking for heat-tolerant ground cover, he can point you in the right direction.

Hedge Trimming

Hedge trimming questions

How often should hedges be trimmed in Brisbane?

Most hedges need trimming every 6–10 weeks during the warmer months and less frequently in winter. Fast-growing species like Lilly Pilly may need trimming every 4–6 weeks in summer.

Can you reshape overgrown hedges?

Yes. Significant reshaping is possible for most species, though it's often done gradually over a few sessions to avoid stressing the plant. Harry will advise the right approach for your specific hedge.

Do you trim tall or hard-to-reach hedges?

Yes. We have equipment for hedges at height, including the larger privacy hedges common on inner-west properties. Safety is always the priority.

Still have a question?

Harry's happy to answer anything. Call or send a message and he'll get back to you promptly.
