Deep Cleaning & Decluttering
A pre-listing clean that goes well past a regular service - inside cupboards, windows, grout and all.

Lawns, hedges, mulch and planting that make the first photograph do its job.
Short answer
Pre-listing landscaping focuses on the areas visible from the street and from the main living windows: lawn condition, hedge lines, mulched garden beds and defined edges. It is inexpensive relative to its effect, because the exterior photograph determines whether a buyer clicks through to the listing at all.

- Resale impactVery high - it drives the click-through on your listing
The exterior photograph is the only one that decides whether a buyer looks at the other twenty. Everything inside the home is downstream of that image, which makes garden work the cheapest high-leverage spend in a pre-listing budget.
Work where the camera looks
A garden tidy for sale is not the same as garden maintenance. We photograph the property from the street and from the angles a listing photographer will use, then concentrate effort there. The back corner of the yard nobody will see gets a tidy, not a redesign.
- Crisp edges along paths and beds – the single fastest visual improvement
- Fresh mulch, which makes any bed look maintained
- Hedge lines cut level, because uneven lines read as neglect
- Gap planting for instant density in thin beds
- Pressure-washed paths, driveway and entry
Lawns need lead time
A patchy lawn cannot be fixed the day before photography. If the lawn is the problem, we need two to four weeks of feeding and repair, or we recommend turf. Tell us early and it is a small job; tell us late and it is a compromise.
Keeping it looking like the photos
Campaigns run for weeks and grass keeps growing. We offer fortnightly maintenance through the campaign so the property a buyer inspects matches the property they saw online.
