A gardening business that works from week one

Melbourne’s established suburbs are full of households with large gardens, busy lives, and no time to maintain their outdoor spaces. Regular lawn mowing, garden maintenance, hedge trimming, and seasonal tidy-ups are services in constant demand — and because clients need them on a regular schedule, a gardening franchise builds predictable, repeat income fast.

United Home Services gardening franchisees operate in allocated Melbourne and Victorian suburbs, with customers provided, equipment guidelines established, and a proven system behind every job. You bring the drive and the work ethic — we give you everything else.

Services you’ll deliver

UHS gardening franchisees provide a range of outdoor maintenance services to residential clients. Most clients book on a regular fortnightly or monthly schedule, with seasonal demand for one-off tidy-ups, pre-sale garden preparation, and post-winter clear-outs.

  • Lawn mowing and edging
  • Garden maintenance and weeding
  • Hedge and shrub trimming
  • Green waste removal and disposal
  • Seasonal garden tidy-ups
  • Pre-sale garden preparation
  • NDIS gardening support services

Melbourne’s spring and summer seasons drive peak demand — September through March is the busiest period for gardening franchisees, with regular clients maintaining their schedules through autumn and winter.

What can you earn?

Gardening franchise income depends on your hours, territory, and the mix of regular versus one-off clients. Regular fortnightly maintenance clients provide predictable weekly income, while seasonal demand creates opportunities for additional one-off revenue during peak periods.

A full client schedule of regular maintenance visits across your territory builds a stable, growing income base. Many UHS franchisees expand their service offering over time, adding NDIS gardening support and commercial clients to their existing residential base.
