Scoresby homes have solid, established gardens that need regular work. Ross takes the garden waste away so it doesn’t pile up.
Not a franchisee or a truck driver from a booking system. The bloke who quotes it is the bloke who loads it.
No bags to fill, no skip to load. Leave it in a pile and he loads it, sweeps up and takes it away.
Not a bin size. A heap beside the driveway and one at the bottom of a steep yard are different jobs and get different prices.
Standing tree, asbestos, or more rubbish than garden — he tells you before he starts, not after.
A pruning pile hauled away and a few bags of leaf litter collected is the usual combination on a Scoresby block.
Piles of prunings, branches, hedge trimmings, leaves and weeds that won't fit in the green bin. Ross backs the trailer in, loads it himself and takes it away to be recycled — you don't lift a thing.
Garden waste from established suburban yards.
Doing a big garden clean-up — overgrown beds, a back corner nobody has touched in years, a rental between tenants or a property being tidied for sale? Pile it all up and Ross collects the lot in one visit.
Overgrown back yards brought under control.
Fallen limbs, shed bark, leaf litter and dry prunings gathered up from around the house — the fine fuel that matters most in a grassfire or ember attack. Collected and taken away before the Fire Danger Period starts.
Dry growth and grass cleared before summer.
A gum has dropped a limb across the driveway, or a windy night has left the yard covered. Ross collects what's come down and hauls it away. Standing trees and hung-up limbs are an arborist's job — once they've dropped it, Ross can take it away.
Wind-damaged branches removed promptly.
Scoresby is a small residential pocket in Knox with a big industrial and business area alongside it. The houses are mostly older brick homes on generous blocks, and many have mature gardens that have been developing for decades.
Those gardens are established — big shrubs, mature trees and hedges that need serious cutting back. A single weekend of work can easily fill a trailer. Ross provides green waste disposal for Scoresby homes: loading the pile by hand and taking it to be mulched.
When a garden has been growing for thirty or forty years, maintenance means more than a trim. Shrubs grow into small trees, hedges get too tall to reach, and trees drop more each year.
Ross takes on those bigger jobs, clearing what you have cut and removing it all. If you are starting a big renovation of the garden, he can take away the old plants once they are out.
Scoresby blocks tend to be flat with good driveways, so the trailer can usually park close to the pile. That keeps loading quick and the price reasonable.
For back yards, Ross carries through side gates. If there is a boat, caravan or car in the way, just let him know when booking.
Strong winds can bring down branches from the mature trees in Scoresby gardens and streets. When that happens, the branches need clearing away before they damage anything else.
Ross loads the fallen material and takes it away. For anything still attached to a tree or hanging dangerously, call an arborist first.
If a branch has landed across a fence shared with a neighbour, it's worth having a quick word with them before the job. Ross can clear both sides in the same visit when everyone is happy with that, which saves two separate call-outs.
Spring pruning and autumn leaf fall both produce big piles in Scoresby gardens. Booking a collection at the start of each season stops the waste from building up.
Suburb, roughly how much there is, and what the access is like. A photo saves a lot of back and forth.
Ross comes back with a number. On big or awkward jobs he has a look first rather than guessing.
Loaded by hand, driveway swept, and off for proper green waste disposal.
Ross runs this on his own. He quotes the job, he turns up, he loads the trailer and he takes it away — the same bloke every visit. There is no office in between, no skip company, and no franchise cut coming out of what you pay.
It also means he will tell you when something isn't his job — a standing tree that needs an arborist, or a pile that is more rubbish than garden — rather than taking the money and leaving you with half a problem.
The suburb, roughly how much there is, and how easy it is to get a trailer to it is enough to work with. A photo of the pile gets you a price fastest.

Thanks — that's gone through to Ross. Spring is his busiest time, so if it's close to fire season he may take a day or two.
