What is Gardening Maintenance?

Gardening maintenance is considered a help-at-home service. These types of services ensure your home and outdoor space remain safe and liveable. Depending on your eligibility, there are several ways you can obtain gardening maintenance services:

As their own, separate service
Through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP)
With other services as part of a Home Care Package (HCP)

Living independently can become more challenging with age, and outdoor tasks that keep your home’s exterior safe and manageable can be especially demanding. By securing home care garden services, you can reduce your burden and utilise professionals for lawn care, weeding, pruning, mulching, gutter cleaning, and other essential jobs.

Our team can help with your home care gardening needs—not just for aesthetic purposes, but to ensure pathways are clear and the exterior of your home is safe. Keeping up with the outside of your home can be just as important as the inside, and with our assistance, your outdoor space will remain safe and easy to maintain.

Gardening maintenance as it pertains to home care could encompass various services, including seasonal support, customised garden designs, and regular maintenance from a gardening team to ensure plants and flowers remain vibrant and healthy.

Alternatively, landscaping services might focus more on landscape design and safety based on your mobility and accessibility needs.

What to Expect

Learn More About Home Care Gardening

Who are home care gardening services for?

Gardening maintenance is for older Australians who need help maintaining their home’s exterior spaces. Outdoor tasks can become more challenging with age, but keeping up with them ensures a safe and pleasant living environment.

There is a wide range of gardening services, so even if you only need minimal assistance, that can be arranged. Services could include lawn maintenance (a mowing service, fertilising, mulching, etc.), hedge trimming, garden clean-ups, and even non-garden tasks such as gutter cleaning.

When should you consider home care garden maintenance?

Keeping up with outdoor spaces is hard work. But to remain safe and independent in your own home, it’s critical to maintain the upkeep of your entire property—interior and exterior. If you find yourself falling behind on garden maintenance, or if you have a health condition that prevents you from properly managing your home’s outdoor areas, you should consider leveraging help from professionals.

Visit My Aged Care to learn more about what services you might be eligible to receive.

How does home care gardening work?

The nature of your services depends on your maintenance needs. Many older Australians require ongoing assistance, so they secure Home Care Package gardening services or pay for services through private funding.

The CareSide facilitates home care gardening services on your behalf. As a client, you will inform your personal Care Manager that you require outdoor maintenance. Your Care Manager will put you in contact with the best outdoor contractors to ensure you receive timely, high-quality home care gardening services.

What are the benefits of gardening maintenance?

A beautiful garden not only improves the appearance of your property, it’s also just a pleasant place to spend time and enjoy the outdoors.

Beyond aesthetic purposes, though, home care gardening functions to keep your home safe and accessible. It’s more than simply lawn care: professional gardeners can tidy up outdoor areas such as patios and pergolas to keep them free of debris, prune plants so pathways are clear, and modify garden spaces according to your evolving needs.

Like in-home care, garden maintenance services are flexible and empower you to specify the type of help you need to stay safe and independent in your home.
