Pelican sits right on the channel and sandspit, so street verges cop salty breezes and the odd sand drift. Front yards often run buffalo for colour and wear, while the sunnier backs favour kikuyu or couch that thickens fast after rain. We lift the deck on wind-exposed verges and set it lower on dense sun patches so the finish is even without scalping.
Older cottages near the water have wide verges and boat access; newer homes can be tighter with retaining and pavers. We trim carefully around sleepers, taps and side gates, then finish with a thorough blow-down to clear sand from paths and driveways. If you’re prepping for a rental check or sale photos, we can switch from mulching to catching for a debris-free result.
Through spring bursts we tighten your schedule to keep lines sharp and weeds down; in winter we ease it slightly to protect roots while staying neat. One-off tidy or reliable regular plan, we work around school runs, shift work and pets—closing gates and sending a quick update when done.
We often help with:
Even, consistent cuts tuned to wind and sun so Pelican lawns keep density and colour.
Crisp lines along kerbs, paths and borders to sharpen street appeal near the foreshore.
Thorough blow-down so decks, paths 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 wind and heat.
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 sandy sections hold moisture. We switch to catching after long growth or before inspections for a spotless finish.
Absolutely. We use selective herbicides at safe rates and provide simple re-entry guidance for families and pets.
Generally 35–45 mm to protect leaf and roots from wind and heat. We adjust by season and exposure to keep colour consistent.

Turns up when promised and the lawn looks mint. Edges are crisp, paths cleared and bins put back every time.
They raised the verge height after windy weeks, so our buffalo kept colour, while the back couch stays tight and even.
Booking was simple and the price fair. Gates are latched for the dog and we get a quick photo when the job’s done.
