I really enjoy the thought of having a career in something that I have enjoyed most of my life; that is time in my own garden, spending my teenage years in my parent's garden and with the family's Nursery business.

Lawn Maintenance

Your home deserves a beautiful lawn without you making the extra effort every weekend.

Give V.I.P. a call on 13 26 13 to organise looking after your lawn on a regular basis.

A typical lawn maintenance job involves mowing, edging, weeding and fertilising.

 

Garden Maintenance

I deeply believe that you deserve a beautiful garden to enjoy without having to spend a lot of time working on it that you can better spend with your family.

A typical garden maintenance program includes  weeding, fertilising, pruning, mulching and I can advise on plant selection for your area.

 

Hedge Trimming

A well pruned hedge is a source of pride and can be a feature for your home. Hedge trimming is my speciality.

If you have a tall hedge along your boundary or individual trees, I have the tools and the skills required to make your hedge look fantastic.

 

Gutters

Full gutters can be a fire risk in the hotter months and a flood risk whenever it rains.

If you notice your gutters are a bit full, don't get stuck cleaning gutters just before a thunderstorm happens, give V.I.P. a call on 13 26 13.

 

Yard Cleanups and Rubbish Removal

Not only do I remove the prunings and trimming from the work I do for you, but if you have done your own clean up or working bee, let me organise the rubbish removal.

Testimonials

From: Satisfied client

Paul and his team provide high quality, professional and reliable service.  The team has been doing general lawn maintenance for me since taking over the business approximately 18 months ago.  Paul clearly communicates with his clients and always sends an sms confirming time and date of the next lawn maintenance session.  The team is approachable, friendly, efficient and always leaves the property in tip-top shape.  I would highly recommend their services. 

(Signed) Satisfied client.


From: Lyn from Mornington

“I am full of praise for Paul and his team at VIP for the work that they have been able to complete for us over the last 12 months.

Paul is friendly and very easy to communicate with providing prompt responses and reasonable quotes for each of our requests.

All work has been carried out in a very professional manner with the team obviously taking pride in their work.

I am looking forward to our ongoing engagement with Paul and VIP for our regular lawn and garden maintenance. 

 


From: Prue

I have a property in Mount Eliza which needs regular garden maintenance. As I live in Melbourne I needed a local person to tend to this. Paul was recommended by my solicitor. Paul has been very professional in all his dealings with me. He has sent me photos of the work he has done as I cannot get up to the property during COVID. I have no hesitations in recommending Paul for any garden maintenance. He also alerted me to some garden refuse which needed to be cleared away (not Paul's work). His fees are reasonable as well. A very satisfied customer.

From: Clare Dewan

Paul has been looking after our garden for some weeks now and I can say that he is an extremely reliable person who makes arrangements to come to do what is required and actually comes at the time agreed. He asks me what needs doing and gets it done efficiently and for a reasonable cost. He is always happy and nothing is too much trouble. A great guy and a great service.

Paul is always on time and very polite. I'm very pleased with the job that he does, always going over and beyond to satisfy. He's always happy to help do extra when needed.
