Yard Cleanups & Green Waste Removal

Vacate cleans, pre-sale tidy-ups, storm damage and blocks that have got away entirely. Everything removed, as many dump runs as it takes — and we treat timing-critical jobs with the urgency they actually need.

What we clear

Six kinds of cleanup

Vacate & tenant changeoverRental properties brought back to inspection standard between tenancies. Usually urgent, and we treat them that way.
Pre-sale presentationBefore photos, before the first open home. The yard is the first thing in every listing photo and the first thing buyers see from the street.
Overgrown blocksProperties that have been left months or years. Nothing is too far gone — we won't turn a job down because it's a mess.
Storm & wind damageFallen limbs, scattered debris and torn-up beds cleared after Toowoomba's summer storms.
Deceased estatesHandled discreetly and without fuss, working to whatever timeframe the family or solicitor needs.
Council complianceProperties that have attracted a notice about overgrowth. Cleared quickly to whatever standard the notice requires.

For agents and property managers

Timing-critical work, treated like it

A vacate clean that lands two days after the inspection is worthless. A pre-sale tidy-up that misses the photographer costs the vendor real money.

We work with Colliers, Ray White, York Realty and Realway, and the reason is straightforward: when an agent says it needs doing by Thursday, it gets done by Thursday. If we genuinely can't make a deadline we say so upfront rather than agreeing and letting you down.

Property managers get itemised invoicing suitable for passing on to owners, and we're comfortable dealing directly with tenants, owners or trades on site.

We're also $20 million insured and police-checked, with certificates available on request — which matters when we're accessing occupied or vacant properties on your behalf.

When it's urgent

Same-day service where schedules allow

Cleanups are almost always tied to a date — an inspection, a settlement, a photographer, a handover. We treat those bookings with the urgency they need rather than as a routine mow, and we can often turn one around same-day where the schedule allows.

Tell us the deadline when you enquire. If we can hit it we'll commit to it; if we can't we'll say so straight away rather than agreeing and letting you down close to the date.

Everything gets cleared and removed in the one visit — no separate booking for rubbish removal, and no waiting weeks on your green waste bin to work through a pile.

Alongside green waste and general rubbish, we handle dirt and soil removal — old fill, built-up material against fences and walls, or spoil left behind by another trade.

Pricing

What affects your cleanup quote

Cleanups are priced by volume more than area — how much material comes off the property and how many loads it takes. We quote the whole job including disposal, not an hourly rate that climbs.

Waste volumeThe main factor — how many dump runs the job actually takes.
How overgrown it isMonths versus years makes a substantial difference to clearing time.
Type of wasteGreen waste, general rubbish, soil and fill are all handled but dispose differently.
DeadlineSame-day and short-notice turnarounds where the schedule allows.
AccessWhether the trailer can get close or material has to be carried out.
ExtrasHedge cutback, pruning or a mow included in the same visit.

No piles left behind

Everything goes with us

A cleanup that leaves a mountain of green waste on the verge isn't a cleanup — it's a problem moved three metres.

Grass, prunings, hedge trimmings, weeds, fallen limbs, general rubbish — all of it is loaded and removed, with as many dump runs as the job takes. That's built into the quote, not added afterwards as a surprise.

We finish with a full blow-down of paths, driveways and hard surfaces, so the property is genuinely presentable rather than just shorter than it was.

On bigger jobs we'll tell you upfront roughly how many loads we expect, so there's no ambiguity about what's included.

Common questions

Cleanup FAQ

How quickly can you do a vacate clean?

Usually within a few days, and often faster for agents we work with regularly. Tell us the inspection date when you enquire — we'll either commit to it or tell you straight away that we can't, rather than agreeing and letting you down.

Is my property too overgrown?

No. We've cleared blocks that hadn't been touched in years. It takes longer and costs more than a maintenance visit, but nothing is beyond bringing back. Send photos and we'll tell you what's realistic.

Do you take rubbish as well as green waste?

Yes — general rubbish around the yard goes too. We can't take hazardous waste, asbestos, tyres, chemicals or car bodies; if there's anything like that on site tell us beforehand and we'll advise on the right disposal route.

How much does a cleanup cost?

It depends on volume more than area — how much material comes off the property and how many loads it takes. Photos let us price it accurately. We quote the whole job including disposal, not an hourly rate that climbs.

Can you do it while the property is vacant?

Yes, that's most of our cleanup work. We just need access. Our team is police-checked and $20 million insured, and we're used to working unsupervised on managed properties.

What happens after the cleanup?

Whatever suits. Some properties go onto regular mowing to keep them under control, some need a garden overhaul to reset the beds, and some were one-off jobs before a sale. No obligation either way.
