Our Property Maintenance Services

We offer practical, on-the-ground support to help manage your outdoor spaces with less effort and better results.


  • Earthmoving & Excavating
    Earthworks are essential for preparing land before fencing, building or landscaping. We can level sites, dig trenches, clear overgrown areas or remove unwanted material. These services save time and create a safer, more workable space for whatever comes next.
  • Tractor Hire
    Our tractor hire gives you access to heavy-duty equipment for slashing, mowing, lifting or clearing large areas. It’s perfect for acreage properties, paddocks or seasonal property management. You won’t need to invest in machinery or worry about storage and maintenance.
  • Gardening
    We handle everything from lawn care and weeding to pruning, mulching and full garden tidy-ups. Regular garden maintenance helps prevent overgrowth, improves plant health and keeps your property looking sharp. It’s an ideal service for homeowners, landlords or those short on time.

Why Outsource Property Maintenance?

  • Saves You Time
    Outdoor maintenance can quickly eat up weekends, especially on larger or more demanding blocks. Hiring help means you can focus on other priorities while the work gets done properly.
  • Avoids Equipment Costs
    Tractors, slashers and garden tools are expensive to buy and maintain. With outsourcing, you get the benefit of the right equipment without the overhead.
  • Consistent Results
    Regular, professional care leads to better outcomes — from healthier lawns to clearer driveways and safer access points. It also helps spot and solve problems early.
  • Ideal for Off-Site Owners
    Whether it’s a rental, a holiday home or an acreage you don’t visit often, maintenance is easy to overlook. Outsourcing ensures your property is always under control.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What’s the difference between property maintenance and landscaping?

    Property maintenance includes ongoing care like mowing, cleaning, clearing and small repairs. Landscaping focuses more on design and long-term changes, such as new gardens or structural features. While the two can overlap, maintenance is about keeping things functional and tidy. Landscaping is usually a one-off investment, while maintenance is a recurring need.

  • Can I book seasonal maintenance instead of ongoing work?

    Yes, seasonal or one-off jobs are common for rural and residential clients. This includes garden clean-ups in spring, slashing in summer or prep before property sales. It’s a great option if you don’t need regular service but want help at key times. Most tasks can be tailored to fit the season and property type.

  • What types of properties benefit most from maintenance services?

    Large rural blocks, rentals, acreage homes and holiday houses often need the most support. These properties can be harder to manage alone due to size, location or time constraints. Maintenance services keep them functional without needing constant personal attention. It’s also useful for elderly owners or busy households.

  • Do you need council permission for earthmoving or tractor work?

    In most cases, small-scale work like clearing, slashing or minor excavation doesn't need approval. However, if you're altering land drainage, cutting trees or preparing for a build, you may need to check Maitland Council guidelines. It's also wise to call before digging to avoid underground utilities. Planning ahead avoids delays or compliance issues.
