What customers say on Google
Tylor and his team cleaned up our park better than expected. Great communication, efficient, friendly and thorough. Will recommend them over and over again! Thanks, Tylor and team!
The first of three garden services that has actually done a thorough and professional service, constantly kept me informed of the changing times and dates due to difficulties with the taxi strike. My garden and pavement has never looked so neat and tidy! Friendly, kind and informative owners, please give them a try!
Great pricing! Very professional and flexible in terms of time booking. I highly recommend these guys! Great quality results and they go over and beyond to please a customer.
Absolute pleasure having these guys work on our property. Had grass put in, palm tree and a few others removed, new paving done. Very pleased with outcome and the work put in.
Tylor and his Team at Top Trimmers are absolutely outstanding in delivering above-expectation, great-value garden services that would leave you wanting them to come back time and time again!
Completely impressed and satisfied with the quality of the work that has been done. All requests I've had, has been completed in the most professional way. I have no issues or problems and would recommend them to friends and family.
Weed spraying and the work around it
What is weed spraying?
Weed spraying means treating weeds with weed killer instead of pulling them out one by one. It suits the places where weeding by hand is slow work: the cracks between paving slabs, gravel paths and driveways, and the edges of beds.
In Tylor's words: "The weed killer is only sprayed on hot days without wind to ensure it dries quickly.
If you'd like the rest of the garden looked after too, a regular garden service covers mowing, edging and flower bed cleaning, weekly, fortnightly or monthly.

Where weeds cause the most trouble
Weeds come up wherever there's a gap. These are the usual spots.
Between paving slabs
Weeds in the joints of a driveway, path or patio make even clean paving look neglected.
Gravel and pebbles
Gravel paths and pebble beds are slow to weed by hand, one stone at a time.
