It happens surprisingly quickly.
A few busy weekends go by, the weather turns good, everything starts growing — and suddenly what was a manageable garden has become a job you don’t know where to start with.
The good news is that an overgrown garden doesn’t necessarily need a complete makeover. Often, it just needs a sensible plan and a solid tidy-up.
Start With the Biggest Jobs
When everything needs attention, trying to tackle the whole garden at once can be overwhelming.
Start with the things making the biggest visual difference.
That could mean getting an overgrown lawn mowed, cutting back unruly hedges, pruning shrubs, tidying edges or getting weeds under control.
Once those bigger jobs are done, the garden can already look dramatically better.
Get the Lawn Under Control
Long grass can make the entire property feel neglected.
Depending on how overgrown it has become, getting it back to a manageable height may take a little more work than a normal mow.
Once it’s under control, regular mowing makes maintaining it much easier.
For larger properties, Dom also has ride-on mowing available.
Tackle Hedges, Shrubs and Weeds
Next, look at what’s taking over the garden.
Overgrown hedges and shrubs can cover paths, crowd other plants and make outdoor areas feel smaller.
Weeds can also spread rapidly when they’re left unchecked.
Pruning, hedge trimming and weed control can make a significant difference without needing to redesign the garden.
Clear Away the Mess
A big garden clean-up often creates a big pile of waste.
Branches, clippings, weeds and other garden waste still need to go somewhere once the work is finished.
Dom offers rubbish removal and has a large double-axle trailer, making it much easier to clear substantial loads rather than leaving you with a pile to deal with afterwards.
Keep It Manageable Afterwards
Once you’ve put the work into getting a garden back under control, the easiest option is to stop it reaching the same point again.
Regular lawn mowing and garden maintenance can keep on top of the smaller jobs before they turn into big ones.
Or, if you’d rather call only when you need some extra help, one-off services are available too.
Dom provides garden maintenance throughout Leongatha and surrounding South Gippsland areas.
