There are of course older requests and responses on this topic, but it would be great to have some updated views on this ‘perennial’ question in Canberra!

Does anyone have good recent experience with a reliable and knowledgable landscaper/horticulturalist in Canberra….someone who can give advice on, and undertake, some garden renovation work at a fair price……installing/improving garden beds, mulching, and suggesting appropriate plantings?

I know lots of people who are looking for this type of service!

I am a fully qualified and insured horticulturalist, providing garden maintenance services and horticultural advice in Canberra.

I am a Canberra local. We have a traditional suburban block that is slowly being covered with vegetable gardens, fruit trees, berry bushes, hedging plants and everything else required to create a garden oasis in Canberra. I have a passion to work with clients to ensure they can get the most enjoyment out of their gardens, with limited fuss and stress.

I am happy to manage all areas of your garden so you are only left with the job of enjoying the setting, or work with you to increase your confidence and skills to manage your garden and growing environment.

Services I provide include:
– Regular and once off garden maintenance services
– Horticultural advice on plant species and garden layout, including diagnosing current problems
– Horticultural advice on fruiting trees, Mediterranean style courtyard gardens (e.g. citrus)
– Real estate garden preparation services – sale, end of lease, rental inspections

Contact details available at joelstidygardens.com.au or joelsgardens@gmail.com

We’ve used Bush Capital Mowing & Garden Maintenance a couple of times. Mark is a horticulturist and we’re most happy to recommend him. Very well priced for the service we received! Number is 0439 980 821

Hi, I’m an amateur who has is halfway through a complete landscaping package at my old folks place – native plantings, brick wall veggie patches, citrus grove, bamboo in large planters, a gold fish pond (of 1000L with water fall feature) and plenty of weeding/mulching, gravel driveway and sandstone path laying.

I would be overjoyed to be able to extend my services at a reasonable rate – not even by the hour but for fixed price contracts for each task.

Would you mind texting me your contact details please?

Difficult to find a one stop shop for the services you are seeking.
My advice would be to;

Seek planting information from the nursery as horticulturalists are few and far between. And the info from the nursery is local, pertinent and current.

For general garden work such as mulching, weeding, trimming etc I would use a gardener as opposed to a landscaper, so maybe your local mowing man or garden guru.

In terms of landscaping most guys these days own and operate machinery such as skid steers, excavators, trucks etc, and therefore have considerable overheads. This is reflected in their price, so I would package the landscape component separately as it will be the most expensive.
