About Us

Hi, and welcome to Kelpie Mowing & Property Maintenance.

I’m a local who’s been working around the Yarra Valley and surrounding areas for over 10 years. You might know me from my earlier business, Colonial Tree Services. These days, I’ve decided to put my tools and experience into general mowing, gardening, and property maintenance—helping locals keep their places looking neat, tidy, and well cared for.

If you’re flat out with work, busy with the family, or just can’t find the time (or energy) to keep up with the garden or odd jobs around the house, I’m here to help. Whether it’s lawn mowing, hedge trimming, gutter cleaning, or just ticking things off your weekend to-do list, I’ll take care of it like it’s my own.

Brush Cutting

Overgrown grass, long weeds, or rough terrain? Brush cutting is the go-to when the mower won’t cut it. I’ll tidy up those hard-to-reach spots around fences, garden beds, and sloped areas so your property looks clean and well-kept.

Pruning

Proper pruning keeps your plants healthy and your garden tidy. I’ll shape hedges, trim back overgrown shrubs, and tidy trees so they grow strong and look good. No job too big or small—just careful, clean cuts and green waste taken away.

Single Story Gutter Cleaning

Blocked gutters can cause major damage. I offer safe and thorough gutter cleaning for single-storey homes, removing leaves, dirt, and debris to keep your roof drainage working properly—especially before the rain hits.

Stump Gringing

Left with an ugly old stump in the yard? I can grind it down below the surface, so you can mow over it or replant. It’s a tidy, efficient way to get rid of the leftovers from tree removal without digging up half your yard.

What Kelpie Mowing Clients Say

Paul visits us on a regular basis, he is very friendly and does an amazing job on our garden. No job is too hard or too big and he always puts a little extra effort in to make it look better. Paul has provided good advice on how to maintain the garden and I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone.

Andrew

Home Owner, Lilydale

My wife and I have a large garden and as pensioners find that we need help in keeping it up-to-scratch. Having Paul come on a regular basis over the past three years makes it so much easier for the garden to look good. He is most capable mowing, pruning, cleaning gutters and general work around the place. Paul is very amiable and a delight to have around with nothing being too much trouble for him. We can confidently recommend Paul as a conscientious, reliable and honest worker.
