Garden Clean Up NZ
An overgrown garden, back under control.
A garden clean-up sorts out an overgrown section, whether it's been one busy season or a few years. Spruce cuts it back, weeds the beds, mows what's left of the lawn and takes the green waste away. Book it before a sale, at the end of a tenancy, or when you've just moved in.
From a tidy-up to a full clear-out.
Some gardens need a day of catching up. Others need clearing back to the fence line. Tell us what you're dealing with and we'll price the job.

Sale-ready clean-up

- Paths and decks cleared
Overgrown clear-out
For sections that have been left: long grass, weeds and overgrowth cleared back.
- Long grass and weeds cut down
- Overgrowth cleared off fences and paths
- Green waste loaded and removed
- Ready for regular care after
A clean-up done in the right order.
Clearing a garden goes faster, and looks better at the end, when it's done top to bottom. This is the order we work in.
Walk round first. We agree what stays and what goes before anything's cut, so nothing you love ends up in the green waste.
Cut back from the top. Overgrown shrubs and hedges first, so the clippings land where they'll be cleared anyway.
Beds weeded and edged. Weeds pulled or dug out, then the edges cut back so the beds look like beds again.
Lawns last. Long grass cut down in stages, and the edges trimmed once everything else is done.
Everything cleared. Green waste loaded up and taken away, and paths and decks blown clean.
What a garden clean-up includes.
Every clean-up is priced to the garden, but these are the jobs most of them involve. Anything else, ask and we'll add it to the price.
What a clean-up costs.
Clean-ups vary more than any other garden job, so we price each one. Tell us about the garden, and photos help most of all here.

Green waste

Follow-up care
Regular visits afterwards, if you want it kept tidy.

When a garden needs a clean-up.
Most clean-ups come down to timing: a sale, a move, or a garden that's simply got away. Here's when they're usually booked.
Before a sale
Front and back sorted before the listing photos. Pairs well with a pre-sale clean.
End of a tenancy
Gardens brought back for the final inspection, when the grounds are part of the tenancy. Book it with an end-of-tenancy clean.
Just moved in
A fresh start when you've bought a house with a neglected garden.
After time away
Gardens that ran wild while you were overseas or the house sat empty.
Spring and autumn
A seasonal reset: cut back, weeded and cleared, ready for the months ahead.
Before regular care starts
A one-off clean-up that gets the garden to a point where regular visits can keep it there.
