Lawn and garden care for holiday homes in Tauranga
A holiday home that sits empty for weeks still grows a lawn. We mow and tidy holiday homes and baches across Tauranga, the Mount and Pāpāmoa on a regular schedule or before each booking, and text you after every visit, so you know the place looks right when guests arrive.

Mown and tidy before guests arrive, with photo updates for owners away.

Holiday homes
What holiday home owners need
What we hear from committees, managers and site owners, and how we handle it.
Tidy before guests arrive
Mowing and a garden tidy timed before your bookings, or a regular schedule through the summer season.
Updates when you're away
A text after every visit, with photos if you'd like them, so you don't have to rely on guests or neighbours.
Summer-ready sections
Lawns kept at a height that copes with a coastal summer, and hedges trimmed before the holiday season.
Sites
Holiday homes we look after
Whether it's your own bach or a short-stay rental, the lawn and garden keep growing while it's empty.
Baches at the Mount and Pāpāmoa
Coastal sections with sandy lawns and salt-burnt hedges that need regular care through summer.
Short-stay rentals
Holiday rentals that need to look right for every new booking.
Family holiday homes
Homes used a few weeks a year, kept tidy so you arrive to a mowed lawn, not a jungle.
Homes managed by an agency
Properties run by a holiday rental manager, with visits booked around their calendar.

Through the year
A year of holiday home care
Holiday homes are busiest when the grass grows fastest, so the schedule steps up before summer and eases off in winter.
SpringSep–Nov
Growth takes off. A pre-summer tidy, hedge trim and weeding gets the place ready for the season.
SummerDec–Feb
Peak bookings and peak growth. Weekly or fortnightly mowing so every guest arrives to a tidy section.
AutumnMar–May
The second hedge trim and an autumn tidy as bookings slow.
WinterJun–Aug
Fewer visits. Prickle spraying before summer and a check after big storms.

FAQs
Holiday homes: common questions
Can't see your question? Call or text 0800 634 245 and talk to the team.
Can you mow while the house is empty?
Yes. As long as we can get to the lawn, we don't need anyone there. We text you when the job's done.
Can you work around our holiday rental bookings?
Yes. Send us your booking dates, or let your property manager book us, and we'll time visits before guests arrive.
Can you do a big tidy before summer?
Yes. A pre-summer clean-up with hedge trimming, weeding and a bark top-up gets the section ready for the season.
Do you look after baches at the Mount and Pāpāmoa?
Yes. We look after holiday homes across Tauranga, Mount Maunganui and Pāpāmoa.
Do you need a key?
Not usually. As long as we can get to the lawn through a gate or a gate code, we don't need to go inside.
