Toowoomba's licensed, $20M insured lawn and garden crew

Q: Are you licensed to apply herbicides and weed killer?

Yes. We hold an ACDC licence — the Queensland Commercial Operator's Licence issued under the Agricultural Chemicals Distribution Control Act 1966, which is legally required to apply herbicides commercially on land you don't own or occupy. Not every lawn mowing service in Toowoomba holds one. We're also ChemCert accredited in safe chemical handling, storage, transport and application.

Hi, I'm James

Owner · TopLawn Mowing & Garden

When you call, you get me — not a call centre. I'll quote your place personally, and if anything's ever not right, we come back and put it right. No arguments, no extra charge.

About our team

You'll get to know the people who look after your place.

TopLawn Mowing & Garden is a family-owned and operated Toowoomba business, established in 2022. When you call, you get James, not a call centre. When we service your property, it's the same crew who already knows it — where the beds are, how you like the hedges, where the gate sticks.

We've earned our clients' trust the slow way: by turning up, doing it properly, and standing behind the work. Our crews are led by Zac and Tom, backed by a team of offsiders who take real pride in the detail that separates a proper job from a quick pass. Behind them, our office team keeps everything running — answering the phone, coordinating schedules, and making sure every job is managed start to finish.

Great service is about more than a well-maintained lawn. It's about building lasting relationships — so whether we're mowing, revitalising a garden or answering the phone, you end up with an outdoor space you're proud of.

James is an awesome professional and down to earth guy! He has been super helpful since day 1 when I got in contact for him to maintain my investment property. He has worked through the best plan moving forward to suit my needs and budget. I am super confident that my property will be well looked after by him. Thanks again legend!

Fortnightly unit complex maintenance — mowing, edging, hedging and weed control

★★★★★

The Team from TopLawn have been mowing and maintaining our one acre property at Hodgson Vale on a regular monthly basis since the beginning of this year. Prior to that they had cut back and trimmed our very overgrown hedges and Bougainvillea, making them look attractive once again. The boys have done an amazing job, especially Zac and Tom who leave our yard looking pristine and very well cared for - lawn mowed, edges trimmed, and paths blown clean. We highly recommend this family business for their high standards and professional service.

They have been taking care of my yard in Highfields with mowing, edging and weed spraying now for several months and I have found them to provide a high quality, reliable service at a great price. Highly recommend!

★★★★★

I have only recently been using the services of James at Toplawn and have immediately been impressed by their skill and careful attention to detail. I have a very small garden area but with many fiddly and small feature hedges. Plus some really tall screening hedges. The result is always perfect. His team is efficient, leaving everything clean and looking beautiful. I would have no hesitation in recommending Toplawn.

James at TopLawn sent a couple of young blokes over to sort it out the same day… saved us a lot of hassle with the real estate. Definitely recommend.

Common questions

Your questions answered

How much does lawn mowing cost in Toowoomba?

Regular mowing on a small, maintained yard starts from $66 inc GST. Garden work, hedging and cleanups are quoted on the job instead — a two-hour tidy and a full overhaul aren't the same thing, and an hourly rate would punish you for whichever one you needed. Every quote is free and no-obligation, and the number you're given before we start is the number you pay.

How often should I mow in Toowoomba?

Weekly to fortnightly through the warmer months, roughly September to May, while growth is strongest. Through June, July and August mowing eases off, to fortnightly or every three to four weeks on most plans. At elevation — Highfields, Cabarlah, Hampton and Mount Kynoch — frosts slow growth further and warm-season grasses go golden and dormant, which is normal.

Are you licensed to apply herbicides and weed killer?

Yes. We hold an ACDC licence — the Queensland Commercial Operator's Licence issued under the Agricultural Chemicals Distribution Control Act 1966, which is legally required to apply herbicides commercially on land you don't own or occupy. Not every lawn mowing service in Toowoomba holds one. We're also ChemCert accredited in safe chemical handling, storage, transport and application.

Are you insured, and are your staff police checked?

Yes — we carry $20 million public liability insurance, and every member of our team holds a current police check. Crews sent to childcare, school and care sites hold current Blue Cards for working with children, and we also hold White Card construction induction and Working at Heights certification, and work to a documented safe work method statement on commercial sites. Documentation is available on request.

Do you service body corporate and strata properties?

Yes. We maintain common property for body corporates and strata schemes across Toowoomba — lawns, gardens, hedges and shared access areas on a recurring schedule, with the insurance documentation and itemised invoicing committees and strata managers need for their records and AGMs.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No. Ongoing service runs on a recurring schedule for convenience, not a lock-in contract. You can pause, change frequency or stop whenever you need to. We also do plenty of one-off work — first cuts on overgrown lawns, pre-sale tidy-ups, vacate cleans and garden overhauls.

Do you take all the waste away?

Yes. Prunings, hedge trimmings and garden waste are removed and disposed of as part of the job, and larger clean-ups include as many dump runs as it takes. Grass clippings are caught and taken away on our Complete Mow and Pro Care packages, or mulched back into the lawn on Standard Cut. Nothing else gets left on your property.

What areas do you service?

Toowoomba and surrounds within roughly 35km of Toowoomba — 55 suburbs and localities, north to Hampton, west to Oakey, south to Cambooya and east into the Lockyer Valley to Gatton. If you're just outside, get in touch and we'll let you know.
