Lawn mowing, yard clean-ups, hedge trimming and green waste removal across Cairns and the Northern Beaches.
G'day, I'm El — a local Cairns handyman offering gardening and yard maintenance for homes, units and investment properties across the region. In the tropics, the garden grows fast. A lawn you mowed two weeks ago is already knee-high, hedges creep over the fence, and a few wet-season weeks can turn a tidy yard into a jungle. I take on the regular mowing and the big clean-ups so your outdoor space stays neat, usable and looking good all year round.
My regular lawn mowing service covers mowing, edging and whipper snippering so the whole yard looks finished, not just the middle of the grass. I mulch the clippings where it makes sense and tidy the edges along paths, garden beds and fences. Whether you need a one-off cut before an inspection or a regular fortnightly booking, I'll keep the lawn at the right height for the season — longer in the dry to shade the roots, shorter in the wet to keep it thick and healthy.
If your yard has got away from you, my yard clean-up service is the reset you need. I'll cut back overgrown gardens, pull weeds, clear fallen branches and palm fronds, trim hedges and shrubs back to shape, and load all the green waste into my trailer for removal. A proper clean-up completely transforms a property — and once it's tidy, a regular mow keeps it that way with a fraction of the effort. I work on residential yards, rental properties and vacant blocks, including end-of-tenancy tidy-ups for landlords and property managers.
Hedge trimming is one of those jobs that's hard to do well without the right gear and a bit of practice. I shape hedges, screen plantings and ornamental shrubs so they look neat and grow back dense rather than leggy, and I clean up every last clipping before I go. Green waste removal is included — I take all clippings, prunings and lawn cuttings to the tip, so you're not left with a pile of rubbish in the corner of the yard.
I'm fully insured, I turn up when I say I will, and every job comes with my money-back guarantee — if you're not happy with the work, you don't pay. Call or request a quote below and I'll let you know what's involved and when I can get there.
Specific jobs and repairs I handle across Cairns.
Based in Cairns, I travel across the city and Northern Beaches.
A standard residential lawn cut, including edging and whipper snippering, starts around $50–$90 for a small yard and $90–$160 for an average block. Larger or overgrown yards are quoted on sight. Regular bookings are cheaper per visit than one-offs.
Most gardening jobs across Cairns are booked within 1–4 days. For end-of-tenancy tidy-ups I can often prioritise a faster turnaround — call and I'll let you know.
