In Australia, each season lasts for three full months. Here’s how it breaks down:

• Summer: December 1 to the end of February
• Autumn: March to May
• Winter: June to August
• Spring: September to November

During the colder seasons, Autumn and Winter, the grass doesn’t grow as quickly, so it doesn’t need as much attention. But in the warmer and wet seasons, Spring and Summer, the grass grows faster and needs more frequent care to keep it looking its best.

 Yes, we have a yearly seasonal maintenance plan that provides weekly or fortnightly rotational scheduling.

Yes, we do. Custodian Groundskeeping does have terms and conditions that show the responsibilities of CGK and our clients.

You can find this under the About us tab. Also, what benefits a client gets whilst working with us. 

 Yes, we do. This covers for the extra time and effort required to deal with your very long grass, cleaning up messy properties, or tackling big garden weeding jobs. 

This is because these jobs are more complicated and take more time and effort. We also need to bring more team members in to get everything done quickly and efficiently in a costly manner. 

So, the cost depends on how complex the job is going to be and how many technicians' or tools and equipment is required for the job at hand.
