Gateshead mixes older brick homes with newer infill close to Charlestown, schools and the hospital. Lawns see coastal breezes and, on some streets, heavier clay that holds water after rain. Front verges are mostly buffalo for colour and wear, while sunnier backs run kikuyu or couch that can jump quickly through summer. We set cut height to each area so the finish stays even without scalping.
Many blocks have side paths, retaining and big eucalypts that cast afternoon shade. We trim carefully around sleepers, posts and play gear, edge along kerbs and pavers, then give everything a thorough blow-down so paths, decks and driveways are clean before we leave. If you’re prepping for sale photos or a rental inspection, we can switch from mulching to catching for a spotless result.
When growth surges after rain, we tighten your schedule to keep lines sharp and weeds down, then ease back through winter to protect root strength while staying neat. One-off tidy or reliable weekly/fortnightly plan, we work around school pickups, shifts and pets—securing gates and sending a quick update when we’re done.
We regularly help with:
Even, consistent cuts tuned to sun and soil so Gateshead lawns keep density and colour.
Crisp lines along kerbs, paths and garden borders to lift street appeal near Charlestown.
A thorough blow-down so decks, steps and driveways are clean and ready to use.
Mulching to return nutrients, or full removal for a pristine, inspection-ready finish.
Selective control for bindii, clover and nutgrass timed to local growth surges.
Slow-release and liquid feeds to lift colour and help recovery after heat and wind.
Spring–summer usually needs weekly or fortnightly cuts for buffalo and kikuyu. In winter, three to four weeks keeps colour while growth slows.
Yes. If we have access, we’ll complete the job, secure gates and send a quick update once everything is tidy and safe for pets.
Mulching helps retain moisture and structure. We switch to catching after long growth or before inspections for a debris-free finish.
Absolutely. We apply selective herbicides at safe rates and provide simple re-entry guidance for families and pets.
Generally 35–45 mm to protect the leaf and root zone from heat and wind. We adjust by season and exposure to keep colour consistent.

Easy to deal with and priced fairly. Paths are blown clean and the side gates are latched for our dog.
They lift the height on sunny weeks so buffalo keeps colour, and keep the backyard couch tight and low.
Reliable every fortnight. Edges are sharp along the pavers and the driveway looks tidy when they finish.
