Everton Hills is a hilly, established suburb on the southern edge of Moreton Bay, bordering Brisbane's northern suburbs. We look after lawns, gardens, hedges and gutters for homeowners here, many of whom have been in their homes for decades and now want help keeping a big, sloping garden under control.
The combination of steep blocks, large trees and nearby bushland means Everton Hills properties need a bit more work than flat suburban yards, particularly after summer storms.
Homes and blocks in Everton Hills
Most Everton Hills homes were built in the 1970s and 1980s: brick and timber family homes, many of them split-level or high-set to suit the slope. Blocks are often larger than in newer suburbs, with steep front and back yards, rock walls, terraced gardens and big trees.
Many gardens were planted when the homes were built and have matured into dense, shady yards. Lawns often struggle in the shade, and garden beds can become overgrown with vines and self-sown plants if they're not maintained.
Around Everton Hills
Old Northern Road runs along the suburb, connecting it to Albany Creek to the north and Everton Park and Brisbane to the south. Bunyaville Conservation Park and other bushland reserves border parts of the suburb.

Common maintenance issues in Everton Hills
Common problems on Everton Hills properties:
Steep, hard-to-mow slopes
Many lawns are on slopes that are difficult and unsafe to mow with a push mower.
Leaves in gutters
Big eucalypts and established trees fill gutters quickly, especially before storm season.
Overgrown vines and garden beds
Established gardens can be overtaken by vines and weeds from nearby bushland.
Erosion on bare slopes
Bare ground on steep blocks washes away in heavy rain, so keeping it covered with grass, groundcovers or mulch matters.
Keeping steep Everton Hills yards stable
On the steeper blocks in Everton Hills, keeping soil covered is as important as keeping it neat. Bare soil on a slope washes away in heavy summer storms, undermining garden edges and leaving gullies in lawns. Healthy lawn, dense groundcovers and a good layer of mulch all help hold it in place.
Where a bank is too steep to mow safely, we'll often recommend replacing the grass with hardy groundcovers such as native grasses and lomandra. They hold the soil, need far less maintenance, and remove the most awkward part of the mowing job. Rock walls and terraced beds also need regular weeding, because weeds in the gaps loosen the rocks over time.
