Garden maintenance in Box Hill

Box Hill is a mix of three different garden styles, and JJ services all of them. The townhouse pockets near the station tend to be small courtyard gardens with a strip of lawn, a hedge against the boundary fence and not much room to swing a mower. They suit a quick fortnightly visit. Ten minutes later the same property looks resold-ready.

Move north into Box Hill North and the blocks open up. More established homes, bigger lawns, mature trees that drop a lot in autumn. These are the gardens that benefit from a proper weekly mow through summer, two scheduled hedge trims a year, and a gutter clean before the storm season starts. JJ runs a regular route through the area so the same person turns up each visit.

The third group is pre-sale work. Box Hill is an active real estate market, and a tired-looking front yard takes thousands off the price. JJ does pre-auction resets that include a sharp mow, fresh edges, hedge trim, weed pull and full clean-up. Coordinated with the agent for inspection day so the garden looks its best when buyers walk in.
