What's in every visit
- Lawn: mowed at the right height for the season, edges done by hand where the mower can't reach.
- Beds and hedges: weeded and tidied; hedges shaped, not shaved. In complexes we keep them to the height your body corporate expects.
- Swept and bagged: clippings off the paving, clippings bagged as part of the visit. Removal and disposal are quoted separately by load.
- Eyes open: your gardener notices the leaking sprinkler, the gate scraping the lawn, the dripping garden tap. One WhatsApp photo can save a whole call-out.
Gardens from Fourways Mall to the Dainfern side
Complex and estate gardens
From the complexes around Fourways Mall to the estates on the Dainfern side, the garden is usually small and very visible; your neighbours see every missed edge. Our crew works to the complex's rules: hedges at the approved height, refuse out through the right gate, no machinery at hours the estate asks us to avoid.
Access is our problem, not yours. If your complex registers contractors at the access office, we send the gardener's details through before the first visit, so the boom gate is never where your garden schedule gets stuck.
Compact standalone stands
Much of Fourways (Lone Hill, Douglasdale, the streets off William Nicol) is compact, modern stands: small lawns, tight side access, plenty of paving. Hand equipment goes where a big mower can't, and a fortnightly visit may suit a small garden.
Larger plots on the Douglasdale side
Bigger gardens in Douglasdale and Dainfern run on monthly plans: lawns kept, hedges shaped, beds weeded, with a once-off cleanup first if the garden has got away. Large gardens are quoted after we have seen them, so call and describe yours.
Garden and handyman on the same route
The gardener who spots the gate scraping the lawn doesn't fix it on the spot, but our handyman work in Fourways is the same company, same number. Regulars get the fix on the next route day. See also the Fourways area page for everything we do in the area.
Our garden routes also run through Roodepoort gardens, plus every suburb on our patch.
Questions Fourways garden owners ask
My complex needs contractor approval: can you deal with the access office?
Yes. We register the gardener with your complex's access control before the first visit and complete whatever forms the body corporate requires. Once the crew is on the system, visits run without you arranging anything.
How often should a small Fourways garden be cut?
Summer growth says weekly for most lawns; fortnightly is the suburban default and usually enough for a compact stand. Monthly suits established gardens that mostly need a tidy. The price per visit is the same at any frequency.
What if the garden has got away from me?
Start with a separately quoted once-off cleanup, then agree a maintenance schedule. The guide distinguishes cleanup work from a routine garden visit; waste removal is quoted separately.
Can I combine the garden with handyman work?
Yes: same crew, same company. If the gate scrapes the lawn or the garden tap drips, it goes onto the next handyman route through Fourways.
Do I need to be home for every visit?
No. Most Fourways regulars give us access once (a side-gate code or a key left with the complex's access office) and see the garden, not the gardener, on the day.
Can I stop or pause the service?
Agree cancellation and notice terms in writing before starting a recurring service. Keep those terms with the visit schedule and price.
