Why us here
Preston's rural setting means bigger blocks are the norm, and our commercial-grade zero-turn gives them proper, efficient coverage rather than a rushed push-mow job that leaves an uneven finish. We bring the push mowers for the tighter areas too. Family-owned, $20M insured, 80+ five-star reviews.
Lawn conditions here
Red Ferrosol · texture-contrast
Preston is a mix of red Ferrosol and lighter texture-contrast soil on the southern ground. The red soil drains freely and dries at the surface (wetting agents help on dry patches); the lighter areas dry faster still. Couch, kikuyu and QLD blue couch are the common grasses. Winter grass and bindii are the cool-season weeds, and khaki weed is worth watching on the lighter, drier ground.
Preston is a rural locality southeast of the city — bigger blocks and acreage the norm, with some rural-residential and township lots.
