Lawn Care & Gardening

Gardening Services & Weeding

Keep your gardens tidy, healthy, and thriving with our professional gardening services. Manawa Landcare’s experienced gardeners are passionate about plants and know how to maintain New Zealand gardens to the highest standard. Our gardening services cover all general garden maintenance tasks, including:

Weeding & Weed Control: We remove invasive weeds from garden beds, lawns, and paths, and can apply eco-friendly weed treatments to prevent regrowth. Say goodbye to stubborn weeds and enjoy neat flowerbeds.

Pruning & Hedge Trimming: We expertly prune shrubs, trees, and hedges to promote healthy growth and maintain shape. From trimming a simple hedge in Paraparaumu to pruning fruit trees in Levin or Whangārei, we ensure your greenery is kept in check.

Planting & Garden Care: Want to add new life to your garden? We can plant seasonal flowers, native shrubs, or even assist with veggie gardens. Our team knows what plants thrive locally in Kapiti’s coastal conditions or Northland’s subtropical climate. We’ll prepare soil, plant with care, and provide ongoing care tips.

Mulching & Soil Health: To keep your garden low-maintenance and conserve moisture, we offer mulching services. A fresh layer of mulch not only suppresses weeds but also improves soil health for your plants.

With regular gardening upkeep, your property will be the envy of the neighborhood. We handle everything from small garden tidy-ups to scheduled weekly or monthly visits that keep your outdoor space in top shape. No job is too big or small – we can maintain a simple front garden or an extensive landscape. Enjoy the benefits of a well-kept garden without spending your own time pulling weeds or struggling with pruning tools.

Scrub Cutting & Section Clearing

Do you have an overgrown section or wild scrub taking over your property? Our team specialises in scrub cutting and section clearing, turning overgrown jungles into manageable land again. Using powerful brush cutters and professional-grade equipment, we can tackle tough vegetation that standard mowers can’t handle, including:

Long, rank grass and overgrown lawns that haven’t been cut in months

Thick scrub and brush, gorse, blackberry, or brambles on unattended sections

Roadsides, lifestyle block paddocks, and rural fencelines choked with weeds and scrub

We approach each clearing job with safety and efficiency in mind. Manawa Landcare will clear out dense growth, trim back overhanging branches, and restore visibility and order to your property. Scrub cutting is ideal for preparing a site for landscaping, reducing fire hazards in dry seasons, or simply reclaiming your backyard from weeds.

If your Horowhenua or Kapiti lifestyle block or Whangārei rural section has areas that need taming, our scrub cutting service is the answer. We also remove and dispose of the green waste and cut material, leaving your property clean and ready for your next project or regular maintenance.

General Yard Clean-Ups & Green Waste Removal

For properties that need a one-time clean-up or seasonal tidy, Manawa Landcare offers comprehensive yard clean-up services. A general garden clean-up is perfect for spring cleaning, preparing a house for sale, or after a storm has left debris around your yard. Our yard clean-up service can include:

Leaf Raking & Debris Removal: Clearing fallen leaves, twigs, and litter from lawns, gardens, decks, and driveways – especially useful in autumn or after strong winds.

Overgrowth Trimming: Cutting back overgrown grass, vines, or vegetation encroaching on your paths, fences, and outdoor living areas.

Garden Bed Tidy & Redefining Edges: We’ll remove dead plants, turn soil, and redefine garden bed edges for a crisp, clean look.

Green Waste Removal: After cleaning and trimming, we take away all grass clippings, branches, and organic debris. Your yard will be spotless and you won’t have to worry about a trip to the dump.

We pride ourselves on leaving every property neat, tidy, and rejuvenated. A thorough yard clean-up can transform a neglected garden in Kapiti or a messy section in Whangārei into a welcoming outdoor space again. If you’ve just bought a new property that needs a tidy, or you’re a landlord needing a clean-up between tenants, our team can respond quickly.

Book a yard clean-up and let us do the hard work to restore your garden’s beauty.

Monthly Maintenance Plans for Year-Round Care

Take the guesswork out of garden care with our monthly maintenance plans. Consistent upkeep is the key to a healthy lawn and vibrant garden. Manawa Landcare offers regular maintenance subscriptions that ensure your property receives timely care throughout the year. With a maintenance plan, you get:

Scheduled Visits: Our team will visit on a set schedule (e.g. monthly or biweekly) to perform all necessary mowing, weeding, and garden tasks. You’ll never have to worry about booking appointments – we show up reliably as arranged.

Seasonal Attention: Each visit is tailored to the season’s needs – from frequent mowing in spring and summer when grass grows fast, to pruning and leaf clearing in autumn, to winter tidy-ups and preparing gardens for the colder months. Your garden stays in top condition through all seasons.

Preventative Care: Regular service means we catch issues early. We’ll notice pests, diseases, or irrigation problems and address them before they escalate. We also keep weeds under control continuously, so they don’t take over.

Customised Plans: We offer different maintenance packages to suit your property size and preferences – from basic lawn care to comprehensive garden care plans that include detailed plant maintenance, fertilizing, and more. You can choose an Essential Plan for basic upkeep or an Enhanced Plan for full-service care (including hedge trimming, green waste removal, etc.). We can even create a bespoke plan just for your needs.

Imagine coming home to a perfectly maintained yard every month without lifting a finger. Our subscription clients love the peace of mind and consistent quality our plans provide. It’s an easy, cost-effective way to protect your landscape investment and enjoy your weekends free from yard chores.
