Gardener pruning shrubs during regular garden maintenance at a Bali villa

A Bali garden is never finished — it is either maintained or it is disappearing under its own growth. I have been a head gardener on this island for 15 years, and I can tell you the exact timeline: skip three weeks of care in the wet season and the lawn is ankle-high, the bougainvillea has swallowed the wall and the frangipani is dropping leaves into the pool skimmer. Our maintenance plans exist so you never see that version of your garden. The same crew comes on the same day each week, works through a checklist written for your specific garden, and loads every clipping into our pickup before they leave.

What's Included in Every Visit

Lawn Mowing & Edging

Mowing at the right height for your grass type — Manila grass shorter, Pearl grass longer — with clean edges along paths and beds. Every 7–10 days in the rainy season, every 10–14 days in the dry.

Pruning & Shaping

Hedges, shrubs and flowering plants pruned for shape and flowering, not just hacked back. Bougainvillea and hibiscus bloom on new wood — we prune so they keep flowering.

Weeding & Bed Care

Beds hand-weeded, soil loosened, mulch topped up where it is thinning. We spot pests and fungus early, before they take a whole bed.

Feeding & Green Waste Removal

Slow-release fertiliser on a seasonal schedule, and every frond, clipping and weed taken away in our own pickup the same day — nothing burned, nothing dumped in a corner.

Why a Fixed Plan Beats Calling Someone When It Looks Bad

The economics are simple. A garden rescued from two months of neglect needs a full crew day — heavy cutting, lawn renovation, sometimes replanting — and that costs more than three months of a regular plan. Worse, tropical plants do not recover instantly: a hedge cut back hard looks bare for six weeks. Rental villas in Canggu and Seminyak cannot afford those six weeks of bad photos and guest reviews.

A plan also means problems get caught while they are small. Brown patch fungus on a lawn is a one-visit treatment if spotted in week one, and a full returfing job if left a month — we wrote about it in our rainy season lawn guide. If your garden needs more than care — new beds, a new lawn, an irrigation system so it survives between visits — we fold that into the plan as a one-off project with its own quote.

How We Work

  1. Send photos on WhatsApp

    A few wide shots of the garden are enough. We reply the same day with a plan suggestion and a monthly price.

  2. Free first walk-through

    We visit, measure the lawn, list the plants and agree a visit checklist specific to your garden.

  3. Same crew, same day, every week

    Your crew arrives on schedule with all tools, works the checklist and sends you photos when done.

  4. Monthly check-in

    Once a month we review what the season needs next — feeding, pest treatment, replanting — and agree any extras before doing them.

What It Costs

Plans start from IDR 750,000 per month for one visit per week at a typical villa garden up to roughly 300 m². Bi-weekly plans start from IDR 450,000 per month, and large or complex gardens are quoted from photos. A one-off cleanup for a garden that has gotten away starts from IDR 500,000. All materials like fertiliser are included in the plan price — see the full pricing page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does IDR 750,000 per month include?
One visit per week — four to five visits a month — covering mowing, edging, pruning, weeding, seasonal feeding and green waste removal for a garden up to about 300 m². Larger gardens get a custom quote from photos.
Do you bring your own tools and fuel?
Yes — mowers, trimmers, blowers, ladders and fuel all arrive with the crew. You do not need to store or maintain anything, and there is nothing extra on the bill for it.
Can you maintain the garden while the villa is rented out?
That is most of our work. We coordinate with your villa manager, come at agreed hours that do not disturb guests, and send photo reports after each visit so you can see the garden from anywhere.
My garden is already overgrown — can you still start a plan?
Yes. We start with a one-off recovery cleanup from IDR 500,000 to bring everything back to baseline, then the regular plan keeps it there. The two are quoted separately so you see exactly what you pay for.
What happens in the rainy season?
Visits get more frequent attention on the lawn — mowing every 7–10 days, drainage checks and fungus prevention. Rain does not cancel visits; the crew shifts tasks to pruning and bed work under cover and returns for mowing when the grass is dry enough.
