Where we work
We service Toowoomba City and everything within roughly 35km — north to Hampton, west to Oakey, south to Cambooya, and east down the range into the Lockyer Valley as far as Gatton.
Six regions, different soils
Toowoomba's soils change dramatically over short distances — deep red basalt up the range, black cracking clay on the flats. It changes what a lawn needs. Here's how the region breaks down.
The established inner suburbs on deep red basalt soil. Excellent structure and drainage, but it dries hard over summer and can turn water-repellent — which is why wetting agents matter here more than almost anywhere else.

Middle Ridge through to Mount Rascal, mostly on red soil with good depth. Higher elevation means cooler nights and heavier frosts, so warm-season grasses go dormant earlier and come back later.

Where the red soil gives way to black cracking clay as the land flattens west. Wilsonton and Glenvale sit on the transition; Westbrook, Wellcamp and Charlton are firmly on Vertosol. Aeration matters far more out here.

Highfields up to Hampton — our home patch, and largely acreage. Higher, colder and frostier than the city, with bigger blocks that suit ride-on mowing. Frost damage on warm-season grass is normal here through July.

The farming country west and south — deep black cracking clay that swells shut in the wet and splits open in summer. Superb for crops, hard on lawns. Core aeration and gypsum do the heavy lifting here.

Down the range east — rich alluvial soil, noticeably warmer and more humid than the top. Grass grows faster and for longer here, so mowing intervals are tighter and fungal issues more common after wet spells.

Common questions
Roughly 35km from Toowoomba — more than 50 suburbs and localities. North to Hampton, west to Oakey, south to Cambooya, and east down the range to Gatton. If you're just outside that, get in touch anyway; we can often accommodate it depending on the day.
No separate travel fee. Distance is factored into the quote, and because we run scheduled rounds by area, properties on an existing route are priced the same as anywhere else.
Yes — acreage is a big part of what we do, particularly around Highfields, Meringandan, Cabarlah and Hampton. We run commercial zero-turn mowers for larger blocks. We don't do paddock slashing or fire breaks.
Because it changes what actually works. On the red Ferrosol up the range, dry patches are usually hydrophobic soil needing a wetting agent. On the black clay out west, the same symptom is usually compaction needing aeration. Same-looking problem, opposite treatments.
Yes, across the whole service area. Common property lawns, gardens, hedges and shared access on a recurring schedule, with $20M public liability documentation and itemised invoicing for committees and strata managers.
We run scheduled rounds by area, so each suburb has its regular day. We'll let you know yours when you book, and you'll get a reminder text the day before every visit.
