Greenacre yards get used. These are family households with kids in them, so the garden has to take wear and still look presentable, which is a different brief to keeping an ornamental garden pristine.
Greenacre sits about 20 kilometres west of the city, mostly in the City of Canterbury Bankstown with its eastern part in Strathfield. It had 26,314 residents at the 2021 census with a median age of 33, and almost a quarter of residents are 14 or younger, which tells you most of what you need to know about the yards here.
A yard with children and a trampoline in it does not need show-grade turf, it needs grass that recovers from being flattened every weekend. Choosing a variety for wear rather than appearance, and keeping the soil underneath from compacting into a hard pan, is what keeps a family lawn alive rather than worn through in two bare patches.
These are large family homes with a lot going on in them, and the garden is usually the last thing anyone has time for. Most of our Greenacre work is a regular visit that quietly keeps on top of it, so nobody in the household has to think about the yard or give up a Saturday to it.
The eastern side of the suburb runs into the logistics and industrial land around the old Enfield marshalling yards. Gardens close to that edge pick up noticeably more dust and grit off the road, which settles on foliage and mulch. Beds there need a little more attention between visits to keep looking clean.
Practical upkeep on a cycle, sized to a family yard rather than an ornamental one.
Beds, paths, paving joints and fence lines cleared back to a clean finish, roots included. On a family block this is the work that makes the biggest visible difference per visit.
More on weedingBoundary screens and front hedges cut to a clean line. On these blocks a hedge is usually doing privacy work between close neighbours, so we keep it dense rather than cutting it thin.
How we trim hedgesNew lawn over prepared and levelled soil, with a hard-wearing variety chosen for a yard that actually gets used rather than one that only looks good in photos.
How we lay new turfMulch at a depth that suppresses weeds and keeps beds looking tidy between visits, which on a busy household is the point of it.
More on mulchingLifting canopies off roofs, gutters and play areas, and keeping trees in proportion to the yard. Where a branch sits over a trampoline or a play space we deal with it.
See our pruning and trimmingClippings, prunings, old turf and general yard rubbish taken away at the end of every visit, so nothing accumulates behind the shed or sits out on the verge for weeks.
See our rubbish removalRemoving a tree that has outgrown the yard or sits too close to the house. The City of Canterbury Bankstown controls removal and significant pruning of many trees, and we check before quoting.
About our tree lopping workHow the yard is used matters as much as how big it is.
Three steps, a fixed written price per visit, and no lock-in contract.
We look at how the garden gets used, where the lawn is struggling and how far behind things are, then tell you what it needs.
A fixed price per visit on a cycle that keeps it presentable without you having to chase it.
Same crew each time. All clippings and green waste leave with us and the paths and driveway are swept down.
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.
Greenacre sits west of the city with Bankstown, Chullora, Belmore, Punchbowl and Strathfield nearby.

Yes, and it is worth choosing differently when you do. A hard-wearing variety over soil that has been decompacted recovers from use in a way show-grade turf never will. Patching the same grass back into the same spot is why it keeps failing.
A regular short visit rather than occasional big ones. Keeping on top of it costs less per visit and the yard never reaches the point where it needs a full day to recover. We will tell you the cycle that suits your block.
Yes, and it is a common request here. We lift and thin the canopy to get it clear of play areas, trampolines and the roof, and tell you if anything looks structurally unsound rather than just overgrown.
No. You get a fixed written price per visit and you can change the cycle, skip a visit or stop whenever you want.
Yes, every visit. It goes in the truck, so nothing piles up behind the shed or sits on the verge waiting for a council collection.
Yes. We work across Greenacre 2190 and the surrounding suburbs including Bankstown, Chullora, Mount Lewis, Punchbowl, Belfield and Belmore.
Send us the basics and we will come out, look at how the yard gets used and how far behind it is, and give you a fixed written price per visit. The visit costs nothing.
