Gardening in Richmond
Richmond gets hot summers and frosty winter mornings on the river flats. Warm-season lawns grow vigorously from spring through autumn, so a fortnightly mowing schedule keeps them in check.
Heritage homes often have older gardens with roses, hedges and fruit trees that benefit from careful winter pruning. We also tidy rentals and investment properties for inspections and new tenants.
