Overgrown hedges, untidy garden beds and long grass can quickly change the appearance of an otherwise well-maintained home.
Handyman Botany provides practical garden and landscaping maintenance across East Auckland — hedge trimming, shrub shaping, lawn mowing and general garden tidy-ups — to make the outdoor area look neat and cared for.
Check the garden, access, hedge height, lawn condition and areas needing attention.
Identify what should be trimmed, shaped, mowed or tidied.
Cut back hedge growth and shape shrubs to restore cleaner garden lines.
Mow suitable lawn areas and tidy selected edges where included in the job.
Clean up the work area and check the overall presentation before finishing.
A single hedge trim, lawn mow or small garden tidy-up typically starts from $180 incl. GST. Larger hedges, heavily overgrown areas or multiple garden tasks are quoted individually once the scope is known, and pricing follows the factors below.
Larger properties and longer hedge runs take more time to cover.
Heavily overgrown hedges and beds take longer than routine maintenance.
Taller hedges take longer to trim safely and produce more green waste.
Tight side access or fenced areas can add time to the job.
Removing clippings and waste can be quoted as a separate line.
Combining hedges, lawn and beds in one visit is more efficient.
A few clear photos showing the whole garden and the specific areas needing attention usually make an initial estimate much easier to put together.
The hedge and surrounding shrubs had become tall and visually crowded. Trimmed, shaped and tidied back to a clean, maintained appearance — no full landscaping redesign needed.

"Good job at reasonable price."
It depends on the job. Small hedge trims or a single garden tidy-up are often quoted from photos. Larger jobs are priced once we've seen the property — garden size, overgrowth, hedge height, access and green waste all affect the price. Smaller than that? Ring Rinat on 021 022 66991, describe the job, and ask for a price for that exact work — the call is free.
Yes. Taller hedges and trees take longer to trim safely and often produce more green waste to remove. Height, thickness and how long it's been since the last trim all factor into the final price.
Often, yes. Send a few clear photos showing the full width of the hedge or garden bed, plus a sense of scale, and we can usually put together an estimate without a site visit.
This depends on the job and is confirmed upfront in the quote. For larger trims that produce a lot of clippings, green waste removal may be quoted as a separate line so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Yes. Garden maintenance can be combined with other pre-sale work to improve the overall presentation before photography, open homes or property viewings.
