Spring is here in Auckland, and that fresh green buzz is impossible to miss. If your fence line is full of new shoots or your lawn bounces back after rain, now is the time to act. A good garden service gets small jobs done fast so your place looks cared for without stress.

Why tidy up in spring?
New shoots show every weak spot. Patches of moss, overgrown hedges, and weeds come back fast after warm rains. A quick tidy now saves time later and keeps pests away.

What a garden service covers

• Lawn care and regular mowing to keep grass even.
• Hedge trimming so shapes stay neat after the spring leaf flush.
• Weed pulling and mulching to slow weeds and feed soil.
• Garden clean up: pick up branches, clear beds, and edge borders.
• Section clearing and small tree pruning for safe access.
• Plant bed refresh: remove dead plants and add fresh mulch.

What to expect on a visit
A local team will check your lawn, hedges, paths, and any raised beds. They will note problem spots, clear cuttings, and leave paths tidy. Most visits take 1–3 hours for an average suburban section.

Quick tips that actually help

• Mow more often in spring; grass grows fast.
• Cut hedges after the first big flush of leaves.
• Use sharp tools — cuts heal quicker on plants.
• Mulch around new plants to keep moisture in.
• Put clippings in a green waste bin or compost them.
• Check drains and low spots after heavy rain.

A short local story
A neighbour on the North Shore called last spring — their hedge looked wild overnight after a week of rain. We did a quick trim and cleared the bed. Two weeks later, new shoots looked tidy and the garden invited people back to the backyard. Simple fixes like that are what a local garden service does best.

Local notes for Auckland gardens
Hedges in Auckland grow fast after spring rains, so early trims help. Some suburbs hold more moisture, and others dry out quickly, so timing matters. Native plants and exotics can need different care — a local team knows the small differences.

Garden care checklist for this week

• Mow lawn and trim edges.
• Pull visible weeds from beds.
• Check gutters and drains near gardens.
• Clip low branches that block paths.
• Add mulch to bare soil.

Spring planting ideas and small makeovers
Spring is a good time to add low-care plants and fill in bare patches. Small changes — a few new shrubs, a line of native grasses, or a tidy border — lift the whole yard. If you want a bigger change, a garden makeover can start with a single bed and grow from there.

DIY do’s and don’ts

• Do: clean blades and oil tools after use.
• Do: wear gloves and eye protection when trimming.
• Don’t: remove large roots without advice.
• Don’t: leave cut branches on paths.

Safety note
If a job needs ladders or large pruners, ask for help from a trained team to avoid accidents.

One practical tip: set a reminder
New shoots can surprise you. Set a phone reminder for a garden check every three weeks this spring. Small catches prevent big messes.
