Garden maintenance in Mount Waverley

Mount Waverley has been a steady part of JJ's weekly route since day one. It is a stable, settled suburb with a high proportion of long-term homeowners, and that means a lot of mature gardens that have been planted thoughtfully and grown into themselves over twenty or thirty years. The work is rarely about overhauling — it is about keeping a good garden good.

For most Mount Waverley clients, the schedule is weekly mowing through summer and fortnightly through winter, with a hedge trim twice a year and a major prune through July and August. JJ knows the gardens well enough that the same client will get the same person on the same day for years running, which makes a real difference for things like noticing a hedge that suddenly looks off or a lawn patch that is going thin.

A specific feature of Mount Waverley is the number of established camellias, magnolias and Japanese maples in the area. These are not plants you whack with a hedge trimmer — they want hand pruning at the right time of year. JJ schedules these as separate seasonal visits so they get the attention they deserve.
