The work we do
What a garden clean-up and restoration includes
For a one-off garden clean-up, an overgrown backyard or a few tired beds, start with what can stay. We agree on the pruning, clearing and new planting your garden needs before work begins.
Pruning and hedge shaping
Bring overgrown shrubs and hedges back into shape, with the height and amount of pruning suited to the plants and agreed with you.
Weeding, feeding and mulch
Clear weeds from the beds, feed the soil and add fresh mulch to help hold moisture and finish the beds.
Retain and refresh planting
Work around suitable established plants, replace tired or dead planting and fill gaps with plants that suit the spot.
Green waste taken away
Remove the clippings and garden waste from the agreed restoration and tidy the work area when we finish.
An example of our work
Cleared beds and a fresh start for the garden
Clearing made room for fresh planting and timber-edged beds around the established trees. These photographs show the work underway and the planted garden afterwards.

Restore before replacing
Walk through the established planting with David. Mark what to retain, what needs shaping and which beds need weeds cleared, soil fed or mulch renewed.
Show the overgrowth and access
A view of the garden before anything is cleared helps us assess hedge height and green-waste volume. Mention locked gates, stairs and any areas that cannot be disturbed.
Planning your budget
What does a garden restoration cost?
A garden needing pruning and a refresh is a different job from one with substantial overgrowth. These typical prices distinguish a restoration visit from more extensive work on a neglected garden. David confirms the scope and price on site.
| A garden restoration visit | $300 to $2,500 |
|---|---|
| A first substantial restoration of a neglected garden | $3,000 to $10,000 |
Typical prices, including GST. We confirm the exact price with a free quote on site.
What affects your quote?
- The size of the garden
- How overgrown the garden is and the work needed to restore it
- How much pruning, weeding and mulching the garden needs
- Hedge height, site access and the green waste to take away

Another tree service mucked me around all morning with quote appointment changes, so I contacted Festus from Absolute Tree and he quoted over the phone his team turned up and both tree stumps were gone before sunset on the same day at a most reasonable cost. Thanks again.

I was a bit apprehensive about hiring a landscaper after hearing a few horror stories, especially picking someone I’d found online—but I’m so glad I went with Absolute Tree and Garden. David was extremely responsive and even shuffled his schedule to squeeze my job in earlier than expected. The team that came out were friendly, efficient, and thorough—exactly what you’d hope for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Absolute Tree and Garden to anyone.

David and the whole crew at Absolute Tree and Garden Services are fantastic. The work is always done very professionally and safely. The crew are very friendly and respectful. I have used them for many years across multiple properties and the service is always the same - consistently good. I like that they will push back if the request is not going to give you the best result which is great. They turn up on time!! Their rates are very reasonable as well. I fully recommend Absolute Tree and Garden Services! Stuart

David and his team are phenomenal! Our overgrown trees have been pruned to perfection our front garden replanted and it looks gorgeous. Thank you David!
Wendye Vince ·
I could not rate David and his team more highly. They did a first rate job in both my backyard and front yard. Both look fantastic and I could not be happier. David is a genuinely nice guy and very easy to relate and talk to. David’s price was very reasonable for all the work he did and I will definitely be using his services again soon. Highly recommended.

Before you book
Questions about garden restorations
Can I book a one-off garden clean-up?
Yes. You can book one restoration to tackle overgrowth, prune shrubs, clear weeds and refresh the beds. The work can focus on part of the garden or the whole space. Further visits are your choice.
Is this a regular garden maintenance service?
No. Restorations are booked when your garden needs substantial attention. We don’t offer lawn mowing or regular maintenance rounds. David can suggest suitable timing for the pruning and planting your garden needs.
See our gardening servicesCan you keep my established plants?
Yes. Tell David which plants matter to you when he visits. We discuss what can be retained, the pruning each plant needs and where replacement planting would help. The aim is to work with the garden you have.
Do I need a restoration or a garden makeover?
A restoration focuses on bringing an existing garden back into shape. A makeover is a better starting point if you want to change the planting or layout, create new beds or add lawn. There can be overlap; David can help you choose the scope at the visit.
Explore garden makeoversWhat if trees also need attention?
Mention the trees when you enquire so David can assess that work alongside the garden. Larger tree pruning is a separate part of the scope, and any council requirements need to be checked before work starts.
Explore tree pruningWhat should I send for a restoration quote?
Send your suburb, the areas that need attention and anything useful about access, such as steps or a narrow side passage. Wide photos of the garden are helpful but optional. David will arrange a free on-site visit to assess the work.
