Regular garden maintenance in Craigieburn
A garden that takes care of itself
Even a small garden needs maintenance. Little jobs can add up over time, especially when you’re busy or unwell. The last thing you need is the added stress of a neglected chores list.
Forget Me Not Gardening offers a reliable monthly garden care service to put your mind at ease. No more lengthy wait lists or big, expensive clean ups. Enjoy your garden, knowing we’ll actually show up and take care of those regular jobs.
What our monthly garden maintenance includes
Our regular gardening service includes all the basic year-round jobs:
- Lawn and nature strip mowing
- Edging
- Hand weeding
- Raking
- Minor rubbish pickup
- Minor planting (individual plants at your request)
- Garden pruning (small hedge, bush and shrub trimming, dead heading flowers etc.)
When required, we can top up your garden with compost and mulch (general soil conditioning and weed control). We can arrange supplies at an additional cost, or you can have supplies ready for us on the day.
We save on waste disposal costs for you and the environment.
Do you have council supplied green and regular waste bins? We can put green waste clippings and minor rubbish in the appropriate bins as part of our monthly garden maintenance – no extra cost.
Alternatively, clippings can be left on garden bed to decompose naturally. We like this method, as it adds nutrients back into your garden and helps the environment.
If you prefer us to take the waste off site, we can do so for an additional fee.
Additional gardening services
Our regular gardening service is designed for gardens in need of ongoing maintenance. If your garden is overgrown or neglected to begin with, we recommend an initial garden tidy up. This helps us get your garden on track from the start.
If you’re after landscaping, design advice or major planting, we have contacts in the industry who can help. Any works of this nature can be arranged as a separate quote.
Talk to us about your needs. We do our best to keep costs affordable so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of a neat and tidy garden.

Every garden is different, so it’s best to get in touch for a free face-to-face quote.
How often do you need to maintain a garden?
Generally, every four weeks is adequate for most gardens in Craigieburn. More frequent maintenance may be necessary in the growing season (Spring to Autumn). Less often may be possible over winter.
We can work out a schedule that suits your garden and budget. Call us on (03) 8313 5242 to discuss.
I only have a small garden - do I really need regular maintenance?
Many homes in Craigieburn, particularly town houses, only have a small nature strip, front garden patch or courtyard. Monthly weeding or lawn mowing is still recommended, but complete garden care every month may not be necessary.
In this case, a regular grass cutting or weeding service may suit you better. It all depends on what you want out of your garden. The best way to know is to contact us for a free site visit.
