Our services

Three ways to go native

01

Plan & Permit

$295 flat fee

The essential framework. We manage the red tape, run Before You Dig Australia (BYDA) asset safety checks, draft your digital layout sketches, and submit compliant applications directly to your council.

Banyule residents: we automatically process your application to claim your $50 council plant voucher.

Better Every Season

Quarterly subscription

Ongoing seasonal upkeep. Our team visits once every 90 days to handle precise weed suppression, top up organic mulch levels, and provide compliance pruning to keep your strip within council sightline parameters.
