Bankstown is the centre of its district, which means apartment blocks close in and freestanding houses just behind them. The gardens are straightforward. Getting a truck near them on a weekday is the hard part.
Bankstown sits about 19 kilometres south-west of the city and is the administrative centre and most populous suburb of the City of Canterbury Bankstown. The commercial district clusters around the railway station, with apartments close in, and Bankstown Airport takes up 313 hectares of flat open land on the suburb's edge.
Close to the centre there is restricted parking, loading zones and constant traffic, and the rail corridor works have not made it easier. We work out where a vehicle can actually stand before taking a job on, because a crew circling the block for twenty minutes is time that somebody ends up paying for. Knowing it in advance means the price is honest rather than padded.
With a lot of units around the centre, much of the work here is building entries, driveway edges and shared garden beds. Those need a written scope a committee can approve before anything starts, and then a standard that does not drift between visits. On a block of units the entry planting is the first thing every resident and visitor sees, so it carries more weight than its size suggests.
This is flat country with no real canopy, and the 313 hectares of open ground at the airport on the suburb's edge do nothing to slow the wind down. Gardens here take full sun and plenty of it, which means mulch depth and plant choice do considerably more work than they would on a sheltered inner-west block. Getting those two right is usually the difference between a garden that holds through February and one that does not.
Apartment common areas, houses, and managed properties, all on a fixed price per visit.
Beds, entries, paving joints and fence lines cleared back to a clean finish, roots included. On a building entry this is what makes the whole place read as managed.
More on weedingBoundary screens, front hedges and the clipped planting common around unit entries, cut to a clean line and kept dense where they are doing privacy work.
How we trim hedgesMulch at a depth that holds moisture on a flat exposed block through a hot summer, and at a grade that does not blow across the driveway.
More on mulchingNew lawn over prepared and levelled ground, with a variety chosen for full sun and hard wear rather than appearance alone.
How we lay new turfLifting canopies off roofs, gutters and shared driveways, and keeping growth clear of sight lines where a driveway meets a busy street.
See our pruning and trimmingClippings, prunings and general garden waste taken away at the end of every visit. Around the centre there is rarely anywhere to stage a pile, and nothing can sit on a shared driveway, so all of it leaves with us on the day.
See our rubbish removalRemoving a tree that has outgrown its position or threatens a structure. The City of Canterbury Bankstown controls removal and significant pruning of many trees, and we check before quoting.
About our tree lopping workAccess and property type, more than the size of the garden.
Three steps, a fixed written price per visit, and no lock-in contract.
House, unit block or a managed property, and roughly where it sits relative to the centre. That tells us most of what we need before we visit.
A fixed price per visit, in a form a committee or managing agent can approve where that is needed.
Same crew each time. All clippings leave with us and driveways, entries and footpaths are left clear.
Terry and his team are fantastic to work with.
The team have been very professional with their work, communication and they were also fast paced.
They use very high quality materials and workmanship is flawless.
Bankstown sits at the centre of its district with Revesby, Padstow, Greenacre, Georges Hall and Bass Hill nearby.

Yes, and around the centre it is a good share of our work. Entries, driveway edges and shared beds on a regular cycle, with a written scope and fixed price a committee or managing agent can approve before anything starts.
It is a constraint rather than a problem, and we would rather work it out before quoting than discover it on the first visit. Once we know where a vehicle can go the price reflects it properly.
Flat open ground with no canopy will do that. The fix is usually a hardier variety plus getting the soil underneath to hold water, which matters more than how often it is watered.
Yes. We supply the written scope and fixed price managers need for approval, arrange access with the tenant, and can invoice whichever party is responsible.
No. You get a fixed written price per visit and you can change the cycle, skip a visit or stop whenever you want.
Yes. We work across Bankstown 2200 and the surrounding suburbs including Revesby, Padstow, Greenacre, Condell Park, Georges Hall, Bass Hill and Yagoona.
Send us the basics and we will come out, check the access and what the garden needs, and give you a fixed written price per visit. The visit costs nothing.
