Winter Time
07-Aug-2024

It’s Winter in Albury / Lavington and the lawn and garden tend to be forgot, grass gets patchy and most lawn weeds begin their germination and growth in winter, especially bindii, clovers and broad leaf weeds. This is the perfect time to commence an eradication program for a weed-free lawn through the spring and summer seasons, so don't hesitate to give me a call!

Perfect Pruning Season
07-Aug-2024

Now is the right time for cutting back and pruning those stone fruit trees and roses. Roses respond well to pruning at this time of year. Pruning / trimming them now helps to ensure the best growth come Spring. They will look amazing. A touch of fertilizer and water will see them blooming in spring! 

Rose Pruning
08-Jul-2024

My tips and tricks prune roses in Albury Wodonga region:

When to prune roses?

When is the right time to prune roses? In the southern areas of Australia, where the climate is cooler, winter is the best time to prune roses. Between June through to August in the Albury Wodonga region.

Rose pruning in winter is a hard prune, reducing the plate from 1 half to 1 third of the plants size whilst the plant is dormmate. With a good rose fertilizer and hard prune, this will encourage growth and flowers in spring and summer when the warmer months hit the Albury Wodonga region.

Top tips for rose pruning:

  • Wear gloves, the longer the sleeve the better;
  • Use a sharp pair of sterilized secateurs;
  • Have a pruning saw available
  • Wear long sleeves
  • Put cuttings in the red rubbish bin, not the green waist or compost bin.
  • *remember* When pruning roses, ensure you cut the limb with the bud growing outwards

I would like to thank Mark for being our gardener. 
I've had a lot of experience with different gardeners.

I've never had one, as thorough, punctual, experienced, and passionate about his work.

Mark takes pride in not only cleaning up my entire garden, but also taking my rubbish away.

Getting the gardens to a high standard of looking manicured and doing so many other unexpected jobs that needed to be done - in such a short time!!

Mark is extremely friendly, approachable and attentive to what I want he far exceeded any expectations I had of gardener.

I'll be keeping Mark on permanently, to maintain my place, due to his high standard of looking after my yards .

I can't not recommend his service highly enough to anyone who is looking for gardener.

I guarantee that will leave you excited about your gardens as I am.

He is true professional at his job yet a humble person who is easy to get along with and to interact with.

Thank you Mark for the outstanding job, you have done !!!

I'm very excited to be able to enjoy and use my yards since you have come and overhauled them.

Also, I am extremely grateful for all your hard work and attention to every detail of my yards.

You definitely are a true professional and really care on level I've never experienced in the past about my gardens.

Emily Seiter recommends V.I.P. Lawn and Garden Maintenance Lavington.

Mark was great to deal with, same day call back and onsite inspection. A few days later, as scheduled, Mark arrived and tackled a very overgrown garden with ease, he even went the extra mile to spray a stubborn creeper so we wouldn't have issues in the future and came back to check that it had worked. Great communication and follow up. Would definitely recommend for any one-off or ongoing garden jobs.
