Request a QuoteThe Garden Folk started because a well kept garden makes a home feel better to come back to. We work with people who take pride in their place — the edge of the lawn, the health of the soil, the shape of a hedge. The small things add up.
Whether it's a holiday house in Lennox Head or an older property in Alstonville, we turn up when we say we will, do the job properly and give you honest advice. You get to enjoy the garden without the weekend spent on it.
Up in the Alstonville hinterland. It's been a wet season, so the sunshine and the flowers are hitting hard on a sunny winter's day.

Old cottage, good bones. We keep the bougainvillea off the roofline, shape the box balls twice a year and hold a clean edge where the garden meets the lawn. The magnolia does the rest.
Matt — Founder
The Garden Folk is a small, hands-on team based in Ballina. We look after homes for families, busy people, retirees and holiday let owners across the Northern Rivers — anyone who takes pride in their place and wants it kept that way.
We treat every garden like it's our own. Turn up when we say, do the job properly, leave it tidy.
