Garden Maintenance
Weekly, Fortnightly & Monthly Programmes
Our garden maintenance service is the foundation of what we do — and the reason most of our clients have been with us for years.
We design a tailored maintenance programme for each property and carry it out consistently, season after season. No cutting corners, no rushing through the job. We treat every garden as if it were our own.
Depending on your property, a typical programme includes:
- Lawn mowing, edging and lawn care
- Hedge trimming and shaping
- Weeding — beds, borders and paths
- Pruning — roses, shrubs, perennials and feature plants
- Fertilising and seasonal feeding
- Plant and soil health management
- Green waste removal
- Seasonal planting and plant replacement if needed
We use battery-powered tools throughout — quiet, precise and considerate of your home and neighbourhood. All treatments are organic and glyphosate-free.
We maintain a carefully managed client portfolio to ensure every property receives the attention it deserves. If you're looking for a long-term maintenance relationship with a team that will genuinely know your garden, we'd be glad to talk.
Hedge Trimming & Topiary
Precision Results, Every Time
Hedges and topiary demand skill, patience, and the right tools. A poorly trimmed hedge — uneven lines, a heavy-handed finish, butchered topiary — is immediately obvious to anyone who knows gardens. Getting it right requires experience with the plant, the tool, and the eye.
GVG's team works with a combination of battery-powered hedge trimmers and Japanese hand shears to deliver sharp, clean results on everything from simple formal hedges to complex topiary specimens. We're experienced across all hedge species common to Wellington gardens — buxus, corokia, pittosporum, murraya, laurel, griselinia, mānuka and more.
We also carry out box blight prevention and treatment programmes in partnership with TopBuxus — an essential service for any Wellington garden with significant buxus plantings, particularly as the disease becomes increasingly prevalent in the region.
Soft Landscaping & Planting
Bringing Your Garden to Life
Whether you're establishing a new garden from scratch, refreshing tired beds, or planting out a brief from your landscape architect or designer, GVG's team delivers high-quality planting results.
Native planting is one of GVG's genuine areas of expertise — and one of the most rewarding aspects of the work we do.
We source from trusted Wellington nurseries, select plants for quality and site suitability, and ensure every plant is properly prepared, positioned, and established with the best chance of thriving long-term. We're comfortable working from formal design plans and equally happy advising clients directly on species selection, placement, and seasonal combinations.
If you're looking for a landscape designer to work with before engaging our team, we have trusted working relationships with several of Wellington's leading garden designers and are happy to make introductions.
