A look at recent work across Canberra's inner south — overgrown beds cleared, hedges taken out, trees removed and fences rebuilt. Drag the slider on each photo to compare.

Before: street frontage lost under agapanthus, weed grass and years of leaf litter After: bed stripped, reshaped and mulched — feature plants kept, edges cut sharp Before After
Job 01 · Red Hill

Corner block reclaimed from agapanthus

Garden bed clearing Mulching Green waste removal

A large corner block where the front garden had disappeared. Roughly 40 m² of agapanthus had spread across the verge and swallowed the bed, the footpath edge and the base of the established hedge. We removed the full bed including the rhizomes — the step most people skip, and the reason agapanthus always comes back.

Scope
40 m² agapanthus bed, full removal including rhizomes
Also done
Three tree branches removed with clean collar cuts
Finish
Premium hardwood chip supplied, spread and edged. All waste off site.
Before: agapanthus crowding the driveway, leaf litter across the concrete After: full width of the driveway back, clean mulch line running the length of it Before After

Driveway and front approach

Garden bed clearing Mulching

Once the main bed was done, the client asked us to carry the same finish around the front of the house and down the driveway. Same treatment: cleared to soil, edged, then mulched to a consistent depth. The driveway gained close to a metre of usable width back, and the mulch line now reads as one continuous edge from the street to the carport.

Added on site
Additional mulching to the front of the property and full driveway run
Detail
Spread, edged and finished to match the main bed
Before: hedge collapsed over the old boundary fence, closing the driveway to the garage After: new capped timber paling fence on the true boundary, driveway clear end to end Before After
Job 02 · Inner South

Overgrown hedge out, new fence in

Hedge removal Fencing Green waste removal

Decades of unchecked hedge growth had leaned onto the old fence and taken over the driveway — the client could no longer get a car past to the garage, and the fence underneath had failed. We took the hedge out in full, including the root mass, removed the old fence and built a new timber paling fence back on the correct boundary line with a capping rail.

Scope
Full hedge removal along boundary, old fence demolished
Built
New timber paling fence — posts set, capped and finished
Result
Driveway width and vehicle access to the garage restored
Before: back yard stripped to bare soil and rotary hoed ready for turf After: new turf laid wall to wall across the back yard Before After
Job 03 · Inner South

Bare ground to a brand new lawn

Turf laying Ground preparation Landscaping

The whole back yard taken back to bare soil, rotary hoed and levelled, then new turf laid wall to wall. The prep is the part that decides how a lawn sits — get the base right and it knits in flat, with no dips or seams showing once it takes.

Scope
Full back yard turfed, fence line to path
Prep
Ground rotary hoed, graded and levelled before laying
Finish
Turf laid tight to the edges, off-cuts and waste taken away
