An overgrown garden eats into every weekend you don't have spare.
John's Handyman Service keeps the outside of your home under control — mowing, trimming and tidying, on a schedule that suits you.
Quick answer: John's Handyman Service handles mowing, hedge trimming, weeding and garden tidy-ups, one-off or ongoing, from a $360 minimum (4 hrs on site, $90/hr) or $640 flat for a full day, labour-only plus materials.
How a garden gets away from you
A garden rarely gets away from you all at once — it's one missed mow becoming two, one hedge left a little longer each time, until the work needed no longer matches what you're able to keep up with. That's a harder thing to admit than it sounds, especially when the garden used to be something you took real pride in. It's rarely one big job; it's a dozen small ones that all need doing on the same afternoon you don't have the energy for anymore.
In 5 years of garden work across Preston and the surrounding suburbs, most calls come in once a garden has gone two or three seasons without a proper tidy-up — earlier than most people expect.

Common questions
Is this a one-off service or ongoing?
Either — a one-off tidy-up to get on top of things, or a regular booking if you'd rather it was just handled.
Do you take the green waste away?
Yes, general garden waste removal is included as part of the job.
Do you do tree removal?
No — we handle hedge trimming, mowing, weeding and general tidying. Tree removal needs a specialist arborist, and we'll say so rather than take it on.
What's included in outdoor lighting work?
Simple outdoor lighting fixes and installs — we're not electricians, so anything requiring licensed electrical work gets referred out.
Imagine your garden staying tidy without it costing you a weekend.
An overgrown garden doesn't just look neglected — long grass and dense hedges close to the house become a real fire risk once things dry out over summer.
If keeping up with the garden has stopped being realistic, booking a free quote is the right move.
