Cutting back excessive growth and opening up areas that have become difficult to access.

Get the garden back under control.
One-off clean-ups for overgrown gardens, rental properties, seasonal growth and homes being prepared for sale—from Gordonvale to Port Douglas.
A fresh start for the property
When regular maintenance is no longer enough.
Tropical gardens can move quickly. If the lawn, hedges, weeds or garden beds have got away from you, FNQ Landscapes can complete a one-off clean-up and bring the outdoor areas back to a manageable standard.
Every clean-up is quoted around the actual property. We agree on the priorities, what is included, how green waste will be handled and the result you want before work begins.
What we can include
A complete garden reset, clearly scoped.
Hedge reduction
Reducing and reshaping suitable hedges to restore cleaner lines and manageable growth.
Pruning
Selective pruning of shrubs and suitable plants to improve access, shape and presentation.
Weeding
Hand weeding or targeted treatment where appropriate, based on the garden and scope.
Lawn & edge reset
Mowing, edging and blowing to re-establish a cleaner finish around lawns and hard surfaces.
Green-waste removal
Removal and disposal of agreed garden waste so the property is left neat and usable.
Before & after
Clear the growth. Recover the space.
This side access had become completely overtaken by weeds and uncontrolled growth around the air-conditioning units. The clean-up exposed the gravel surface again and restored clear access along the building.
Large property clean-up
Restore the whole street presentation.
This corner property needed a substantial cut-back across the verge and retaining-wall gardens. Removing the heavy growth reopened the street frontage, revealed the existing structure and made the property far easier to maintain.
When a clean-up helps
More than just an overgrown backyard.
Pre-sale presentation
Improve first impressions before photography, inspections or listing the property.
Rental properties
Reset outdoor areas between tenants or after a garden has fallen behind.
Seasonal growth
Bring fast wet-season growth back to a safer, more manageable standard.
Before regular care
Complete the heavier initial work before starting a weekly or fortnightly maintenance plan.
The finishing work
Clean edges and a result you can maintain.
Depending on the property, the clean-up can include mowing, edging, hedge shaping, pruning, weeding, blowing and green-waste removal. We can also quote mulching or other presentation improvements separately where they will materially improve the result.
If you want the garden kept at that standard, we can recommend a weekly or fortnightly maintenance package after the initial clean-up. There is no lock-in contract.
How we quote
Priorities agreed before the work begins.
- 01
Send the property details
Share the address, useful photos and the main areas you want brought under control.
- 02
We assess the scope
We may visit the site where needed to confirm access, volume of growth, disposal and the expected finish.
- 03
We provide clear pricing
The quote identifies the agreed priorities and what is included so expectations are clear.
- 04
Clean-up and next steps
We complete the work, remove agreed waste and can advise on ongoing care if requested.
Practical scope note
Some gardens need more than one visit.
Large or heavily overgrown properties may be staged so the highest-priority areas are completed first. The exact result depends on plant condition, safe access, weather and the amount of material being removed. Any additional work is discussed before it is undertaken.
Service area
Garden clean-ups from Gordonvale to Port Douglas.
We work across Cairns and surrounding areas, with travel depending on the size, access and requirements of the clean-up.
