Professional lawn mowing and gardening in Nelson

Small, maintained Nelson lawns start from $50. Mowing with edging and blow-down generally runs $70–$150+, gardening visits start from $70, and overgrown recovery runs from $100–$250+ — paddock-style acreage is quoted on site once we've seen how much of the block is actually lawn.

It depends on how much of the property is maintained lawn versus rough paddock, so acreage jobs like this are quoted on site rather than off a standard price list. A local operator will look at the block, the access and the terrain and give you a firm figure before any work starts.

Nelson's open blocks have fewer street trees than the surrounding suburbs, so lawns get full sun exposure and dry out quickly between waterings. Low-lying paddock corners are the flip side of that in winter, where frost settles on cold mornings.

Couch, kikuyu and buffalo all do well on Nelson's shale-derived clay, which is the same soil type common across the wider Hills District. Each needs a different mowing height, and a local operator will set that based on how the block is actually used.

Yes — pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal, from $70 a visit. On a big Nelson property that's usually about keeping growth back from sheds, yards and fence lines as much as tidying garden beds.
