Native Garden & Lawn Maintenance - Mount Cotton, Sheldon and Chandler
Premium Native Garden & Estate Maintenance for Redland City Acreage
Redland City's acreage properties offer a unique combination of coastal proximity, fertile soils, and natural beauty. From the elevated acreages of Mount Cotton through the semi-rural estates of Sheldon to the prestigious waterfront areas of Wellington Point and Ormiston, property owners demand exceptional landscape maintenance.
Cambium Land Management provides specialist native garden design, installation, and maintenance services matched to Redland City's environmental character and property owner expectations.
Why Native Gardens for Redland City Properties?
Environmental Appropriateness
Redland City's natural character features coastal heathlands, eucalypt forests, and wetland systems. Native gardens respect and enhance this environmental context rather than fighting against it.
Water Efficiency
Redland's water restrictions and coastal climate make native gardens the intelligent choice. Established native plantings require minimal irrigation compared to exotic lawn and garden species.
Wildlife Attraction
Native gardens attract native birds, butterflies, and beneficial insects. Create a living ecosystem in your Mount Cotton, Sheldon, or Wellington Point property.
Low Maintenance Requirements
Once established, native gardens require less intensive maintenance than exotic plantings. Reduced fertiliser, less watering, minimal pest issues, and seasonal rather than constant intervention.
Climate Resilience
Native species are adapted to Queensland's climate extremes - drought, storms, heat, and humidity. They thrive where exotic species struggle.
Property Value Enhancement
Well-designed native gardens increase property values and market appeal. Buyers increasingly value sustainable, low-maintenance, wildlife-friendly landscapes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will native gardens look wild or unkempt? Not at all. Well-designed native gardens can be as formal or structured as exotic gardens. We create native gardens ranging from manicured hedges and structured plantings through to natural bushland styles.
How much water do native gardens need? Established native gardens require minimal irrigation - typically only during extreme drought. Initial establishment (first 12 months) requires regular watering, then plants survive on natural rainfall.
Can you maintain our existing exotic garden? Yes. While we specialise in native gardens, we maintain all garden types. We can also help transition exotic gardens to native species over time.
How often should lawns be mowed in Redland City? Growing season (September-April) requires weekly or fortnightly mowing. Winter (May-August) typically monthly. Frequency varies by grass type and maintenance standards.
Do you service small properties under 1 acre? Yes. We service properties from quarter-acre blocks through to large rural holdings. Minimum service charges apply for small properties.
Can you coordinate with our pool cleaner and other contractors? Absolutely. We work seamlessly with existing property service providers to ensure coordinated, efficient property management.
Do you provide services for commercial properties? Yes. We service commercial estates, retirement villages, body corporate gardens, and business premises throughout Redland City.
