Founded in 2021 by Jeremy Starrs alongside his wife, Renee Starrs, Local Dad Lawn & Garden was built from a genuine passion for helping Cairns families take back control of their yards and give them back more of their time to do things that are important to them.

Local Dad grew solely through word of mouth, trust, and consistently delivering the kind of service people wish was easier to find; reliable communication, honest workmanship and high standards from start to finish.

Our philosophy is simple— we do our job with excellence, treat every property like it is our own home, and leave every outdoor space better than we found it. We understand that in Cairns, gardens and lawns can quickly become difficult to manage with the tropical climate, wet season growth and busy family life. That’s why we focus on providing practical, professional solutions that not only improve how a space looks, but also how it feels to live in and maintain long term.

From garden maintenance and lawn care to soft landscaping, turfing, and planting, our team is committed to delivering quality workmanship with attention to detail at every stage. Our team comprises of skilled gardeners, trusted subcontractors and experienced designers who share the same values and expectations we built the business on.

Our clients trust Local Dad Lawn & Garden because we genuinely care about the outcome of every job we do. We aim to be approachable, dependable and transparent, while delivering results that make a real difference to people’s homes and lifestyles.

We’re more than just gardeners. We’re exist to serve people through exceptional gardening.
