Garden Tidy on Sumner sections
Coastal gardens fight sand, salt and wind, so tidies focus on clearing windblown debris, cutting back burnt growth and mulching to hold moisture in fast-draining soil.
Between Cave Rock and Scarborough Hill, sections take the full force of easterly sea breezes, and sand blows into lawns and beds after a storm.
Fast-draining eastern soils mean beds dry quickly, so tidies here end with mulch and a check of anything struggling.
We cover all of Sumner 8081, including around Sumner Beach, Sumner Village.
Most coastal sections are standard-sized; exposed or steep cliff-top sections are quoted individually. See the full garden tidy service for what every visit includes.

Why does my Sumner lawn brown off in summer?
Sandy soil drains fast and salt wind dries the grass out. Cutting higher through summer helps it hold moisture, so we adjust the height with the season.
