How Much Does Garden Maintenance Cost in Melbourne's West?

On the big Australian quote sites, most one-off gardening jobs around Bacchus Marsh and Melbourne's west land between about $120 and $270, with small single tasks from about $30 and bigger overgrown clean-ups costing more. C&J gives you one free fixed price up front for your exact garden, so you are not guessing off an average.

Hourly rates advertised on the quote sites start from around $20 an hour for solo operators, and established, insured teams charge more than that. C&J does not charge by the hour at all. You get one fixed price for the whole job, told to you before any work starts, so a slow day never costs you extra.

A standard C&J visit covers mowing and edges, hedge and shrub trimming, hand weeding, pruning and cut-backs, and every scrap of green waste taken away. Mulching, garden bed turn-overs and pre-sale tidy-ups are available on the same visit. We do not do tree removal.

For most family gardens, a visit every two to four weeks through the growing season keeps everything in shape, stretching longer over winter. Low-maintenance gardens can run on a seasonal tidy instead. Regular visits work out easier on the garden and the budget than letting it overgrow and paying for a big catch-up.

Per visit, yes. A garden on a regular schedule takes less time and creates less green waste each visit than a garden that gets rescued once or twice a year, so the price per visit stays lower and the garden always looks cared for.

Always. Every C&J quote includes loading and removing all the green waste we create, so nothing is left in a pile on your nature strip and there is nothing extra to pay on the day.

Garden maintenance keeps an existing garden healthy and tidy, so mowing, weeding, trimming, pruning and mulching. Landscaping changes the garden itself, like new beds, plants, paths and edging. C&J does both, and both start with the same free fixed quote.
