Professional Grounds Maintenance in Garfield
Terra Maintenance provides lawn mowing, hedge trimming, tree services and grounds maintenance in Garfield VIC 3814 and throughout the Dandenong Ranges and outer south-east Melbourne. Garfield is a Cardinia Shire township on the eastern edge of our service area, sitting between the drained flats of the old Koo Wee Rup swamp to the south and the rising country toward Garfield North. It is a green wedge town of around two thousand people, surrounded by dairy farms and horticulture, with a mix of village blocks, rural-residential holdings and working farmland. Ride-on mowing, slashing, blackberry control and tree work are the staples here.
Garfield is a working rural township rather than a commuter estate, and property sizes here run from ordinary village blocks near the railway line and Thirteen Mile Road through to rural-residential holdings of several hectares and genuine farmland. That range is the defining feature of the work: on the same street we might be doing a straightforward push mow on a quarter-acre village block and, two properties along, a full day of ride-on and slashing on five acres of paddock. Garfield sits in the Cardinia green wedge alongside Emerald, Cockatoo, Gembrook, Bunyip and the other townships in the corridor, which keeps the surrounding land in agriculture and shapes what the vegetation does. The ground changes as you move through the district. South toward the flats the country is the drained Koo Wee Rup swamp, dark, rich and holding moisture, which is why it became dairy and market garden country after the drainage works of the early 1900s. North toward Garfield North and the hills it rises into clay loam over the foothill country. Drains and watercourses run through much of it, and the drain and fence lines are where blackberry establishes and spreads, which makes it the single most common weed problem we deal with in this district. Windbreaks of cypress and pine planted by earlier owners are a recurring feature and a recurring tree job, since many are now overmature.
