From a regular lawn mow to an overgrown garden tidy-up, the right details help garden professionals understand the work before they quote. Doory is a marketplace connecting you with independent businesses, rather than a gardening contractor.
Lawn mowing, garden care or a bigger project?
For lawn care, specify mowing, edging and what should happen to the clippings. A garden tidy-up might include weeding, light pruning and leaf collection. Landscaping, large tree work, irrigation and major section clearing need a separate scope and a provider with suitable experience and equipment.
What affects a garden quote?
Approximate lawn area, grass height, slopes and narrow access affect the work involved. Explain whether equipment can reach the garden and whether green waste needs removal. Ask if the quote includes edging, waste disposal, travel and GST where applicable, and whether it is a fixed price or an hourly estimate.
Planning outdoor work in Auckland
Add your suburb, photos and a preferred date, with some flexibility for wet weather. The local provider network is still growing; coverage and availability vary, and a posted job is not a guaranteed booking. Agree how rain delays will be handled before the visit.
What to include in your job request
- Approximate lawn or garden size and recent photos
- Mowing, edging, weeding, pruning or clearing required
- Grass height, slopes, gates, steps and equipment access

Are outdoor & garden providers on Doory verified?
Yes. Every service partner is an NZ-registered business — we verify their NZBN and identity documents before they can accept any work.
How much does it cost?
Getting quotes is free. You pay only the professional you hire, directly, at the price they quoted — Doory adds nothing on top.
Is green-waste removal included?
Only if agreed in the quote. Ask whether clippings are mulched, left in your bin or taken away, and whether disposal has an additional charge.
Can I request recurring lawn mowing?

Can a gardener handle large trees?
Do not assume so. Describe the tree size and location and ask for a suitably qualified and insured specialist where the job needs one.
