Trimmed back my front trees, made them looking amazing and cut back branches of my oak tree. Thank you Ben will have you back soon for more work. His price also so very very reasonable.

He's always been reliable, kind, friendly and professional. Ben and his team do immaculate work - only this morning I stepped outside, as I always do, to admire my perfectly mown lawn (all those neat, straight lines!). Ben also charges very competitive rates - he charges less per hour than his competitors. Ben loves what he does, he loves being a horticulturalist (and you know this when you realise that he always keeps secateurs in his pocket, ready to give plants in need a good prune, anywhere, anytime. ) Thanks so much Ben. I am looking forward to many more years with you as my gardener.

He communicated with us when he was ill resulting in some absences, which were completely out of his control. We're pleased to have him and his current team back on board.

My love of gardening first commenced when I gained a horticulture traineeship at Holmesglen TAFE. During the traineeship, I completed Certificate 11 in Parks and Gardens. The next year I was fortunate to gain an apprenticeship which allowed me to learn my trade and developed my skills while working on a wide range of top-end residential properties throughout Melbourne, including the Coonac Mansion in Toorak. The experiences I gained throughout my apprenticeship enhanced my gardening passion and my desire to remain within the industry. In November 2018, with the encouragement of my former boss and friends, I started up this horticulture business. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/95718aa2-d4a1-49fe-a49d-95dd7487f7fa/IMG_9571.JPG About Us In 2026, Elizabeth joined the team. She has completed Certificate 111 in Horticulture. She has specialist knowledge and skills in areas such as garden design and landscaping, revegetation, tree health assessment and management, irrigation, soils and plant nutrition, turf management, and plant identification. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1588477868106-Z1ERR34X7IL854E8M7BJ/IMG_0520+5.JPG About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1782276057043-FBR77M40720QN11E8182/IMG_9572.JPG About Us https://www.brhorticulture.com.au/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2019-12-01 https://www.brhorticulture.com.au/services-1 daily 0.75 2023-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1689832649412-IOJAWTZS29OYFPZCCAS5/IMG_1597.jpg Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1689832031829-QGL1UMZFO8POJQ1R0031/IMG_3025.JPG Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1671855867195-0OWNFFS8RNEXOHK44YXJ/IMG_2358.JPG Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1671855927756-8N2M12AFFG3U1PSKQG3E/IMG_2359.JPG Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1671856910320-5O3JXS3HSYAKH1MEPO4Q/IMG_1552.jpg Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1671856943306-GMH1AQ5XSF312AF1Z8DO/IMG_1587.jpg Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1581566357148-7TARSTFV01XLTRZT17FX/file3-5.jpeg Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1689832979959-VY7K4EVFWCYPUDHVJ8FL/IMG_2533+2.JPG Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1636499749522-JH03ODKWHCUWL1THLYWO/St+Gothard+before.jpeg Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1636499774686-56BHCHRF8D185Y5DW0B2/St+Gothard+Street+After.jpeg Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1607043317450-D6W3DLWVVQCMMGK68F1W/IMG_1308.jpg Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1607042696387-CLB2A0FAMIBSD603OPTF/IMG_1310.jpg Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1575165357260-TWJ08D0CXIHVOW3KNOQI/Resized_20191022_084754_347619151703939.jpeg Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1590734991940-U3UAYUX2XMHJ8UVUB4NT/Resized_20200528_161046.jpeg Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1582162811273-9G4YPCRXS9V639IZLIRH/IMG_0507.jpg Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1582163080261-30SOVVO5S2KN8TYQLPU4/IMG_0942.JPG Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1560326683981-I0UK8R4SR2KJMG2CH3KF/Before.JPG Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1689833335347-BHQLSTWQ2VLCN32VU267/IMG_1606.jpg Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1561434631077-RJ5E2VA51PC8I0S1DTIO/IMG_0156.JPG Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1561434644443-JUFANP1KJ29Y7N50ISP5/IMG_0540.JPG Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1575165448929-V92W4YTF9E04GXB990RX/Resized_20191022_084630_347619776218593.jpeg Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1590734886301-OJS29OS2O18K8ATDU5HK/Resized_20200528_161026.jpeg Photo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1543203578803-73DE081ZK0RF0Q25G6QH/Hedge+before.jpg Photo Gallery -

Our hourly rate excludes the cost of removing green waste, compost and mulching material, new plants, fertiliser etc. We have a minimum charge equivalent to one hour, with half hour increments up to two hours, followed by quarter of an hour increments thereafter. To remove green waste, we charge by the bag (approximately 0.75 cubic metre), although heavy material, such as removal of existing lawn, will impact the cost. For further information related to hourly rates and green waste removal contact Ben Rickard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be94bd1f93fd4059ced1b71/1604092152837-IEMPV5A276R9USKZSHNZ/IMG_1272.jpg Charges and Area Serviced - AREAS SERVICED Ben Rickard Horticultural Service provides garden maintenance services to mainly residential properties in the inner, eastern, northern and north-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, with a particular focus on the following suburbs: Alphington, Fairfield, Northcote, Thornbury, North Fitzroy, Fitzroy, Clifton Hill, Brunswick East, Ivanhoe, Eaglemont, Kew, Canterbury, and Camberwell.
