Arana Hills is one of the older suburbs in our service area, with homes that were mostly built in the 1960s and 1970s. We maintain lawns, gardens and hedges for homeowners and rentals here, and a lot of our work is taming gardens that have grown for decades, then keeping them manageable.
Many Arana Hills homeowners are downsizing their gardening effort rather than their home. They want the garden to stay nice but need someone else to handle the mowing, pruning, gutters and green waste.
Homes and blocks in Arana Hills
Typical Arana Hills homes are high-set or low-set brick and timber houses from the 1960s and 1970s, on blocks of around 600 to 800 square metres, often on a slope. Many have been renovated or extended, but the gardens are often original, with large trees, old hedges and established shrubs.
The mature trees give the suburb its leafy character, but they also shade lawns, drop leaves into gutters and send roots under paths and garden beds.

Common maintenance issues in Arana Hills
Common problems on Arana Hills properties:
Overgrown established gardens
Shrubs and hedges that are decades old often need a staged cut-back and ongoing care.
Shade and tree roots
Big trees shade lawns and push roots through the surface, making mowing and turf harder.
Gutters full of leaves
Leaves from mature trees fill gutters fast, especially in the lead-up to storm season.
Green waste build-up
Large gardens produce more green waste than a council bin can handle.
Making a big old garden easier to live with
Plenty of Arana Hills owners love their established gardens but want them to be less work. A few changes make a big difference: removing shrubs that need constant cutting back, replacing thirsty or high-maintenance plants with hardy natives, converting shady patches of struggling lawn into mulched beds, and defining edges so the lawn doesn't creep into the garden.
We usually do this alongside regular maintenance rather than as one big job. Each visit tackles one area, so the garden improves steadily without a large up-front cost, and the ongoing maintenance gets quicker as the garden gets simpler.
