Garden Maintenance in Ballina

Garden Maintenance · Ballina, NSW

Regular visits that keep your garden healthy and tidy.

Ballina is home for us, so most weeks start and finish within a few minutes of the depot. We look after gardens right across town — the older cottages around East Ballina, the newer estates out at Cumbalum and Skennars Head, and a fair few places along the river. Being local means a missed week is easy to make up and a quick look at something is never a special trip.

What's involved

  • Weeding & edging
  • Pruning where it's needed
  • Soil conditioning
  • Keeping an eye on plant health
  • Green waste taken away

What's different about Ballina

East of the highway the soil is sandy and drains fast. Gardens there need mulch topped up more often than people expect, otherwise beds dry out through summer and the weeds win.

Inland toward Cumbalum and Wollongbar the soil gets much richer, which is great for growth but means hedges and shrubs need shaping more frequently to stay in proportion.

The river breeze carries enough salt to burn tender growth on exposed street frontages. We plant and prune with that in mind rather than fighting it.

Mat and his team has maintained our gardens for a few years now. Their knowledge and expertise in keeping our gardens manicured have been greatly appreciated. We highly recommend the team at the garden folk for mowing, hedging, pest control and small landscaping jobs.

We never write reviews… however, after 7 gardeners over 5 years, we thought it was warranted as we have found our crew. Matt and his team are reliable, passionate and proactive. There is no one else we would work with (we tried).

I referred a client to Garden Folk Landscaping for an acreage property in Newrybar and the feedback was excellent. They were professional, easy to work with, and the finished result really lifted the property.

The Garden Folk have taken the reins on managing the lawns and all gardening on our acreage property. We could not be happier. Matt is very professional and friendly, but mostly has exceeded our expectations.

The Garden Folk are seriously impressive in what they do. We booked them to look after our gardens before we moved out and they did such an amazing job. We will book them again for sure!
