5 Signs Your Garden Needs Professional Attention (Before It Gets Worse)
Gardens in Cairns grow fast — sometimes too fast. What starts as “a little overgrown” can quickly become an overgrown garden with weeds out of control. Here are five signs it’s time to call in professionals.
Your Lawn Looks Uneven or Patchy
If parts of your lawn is:
Dying in sections
Doesn’t drain properly
Turning yellow/brown
You may have soil imbalance, drainage issues, or compaction problems. Professional assessment prevents long-term damage.
2. Weeds Are Winning In Your Gardens
If weeds are:
Taller than your plants
Covering your entire garden bed
Spreading into lawn areas
Coming back quickly after removal
You need weed control that involves more than just pulling them out.

Mulch breaking down?
Plants overcrowded?
Edges undefined?
A simple garden refresh — new mulch, pruning, edging — can completely transform your space without major landscaping costs.
