Cracked Paths, Sinking Pavers and Trip Hazards Aren’t a Good Look, But They’re Common

If your front path wobbles, your pool surround feels like hot sandpaper, or water pools at the back door every storm, you’re not alone.

Most paving failures come from rushed base prep, the wrong paver for our climate, or drainage ignored until cracks appear.

The result? Safety risks, high maintenance costs, and street appeal that drags down your entire property.

Paving Benefits That Add Safety, Style & Value to Your Life

Here’s how professional paving from 1300 4 Gardening makes everyday living easier and your property more rewarding:

  • Instant street appeal starts with well-laid paving that boosts first impressions and can even lift resale value overnight.
  • Slip-rated textures, level joints, and smart drainage give family and visitors safer footing, rain, hail or shine.
  • Spend less time on upkeep thanks to proper base prep, sealed joints and finishes that resist weeds, stains, and movement.
  • UV-stable, light-coloured pavers stay cooler under the sun, keeping outdoor areas comfy and usable all year round.
  • Solid base work and edge restraints prevent sinking and cracking, saving you money on future repairs.
  • Proper falls and permeable paving options direct water away from your home, helping keep interiors dry and damage-free.

1300 4 Gardening Reviews

After a very hot summer of rain and heat my garden has really got away from me. 1300 4 Gardening came the next day to give a quote and in two weeks as scheduled two very helpful gardeners arrived on time and worked hard all day to give it a cared for neat look. I will certainly use them for any future work . to improve things colour and 1300 4 Gardening had a very efficient communication system. Staff are incredibly polite and pleasant and stay in touch and keep one informed. The payment system is efficient and safe.
Very happy.

I have been trying to maintain a section of my yard for months but the plants and weeds seem to grow faster than I could clear. I knew I needed help from the professionals at 1300 4 gardening got the quote which was reasonable and within my budget. I was new customer and they were extremely helpful and made an appointment within a week. Lachlan got right to work and when I returned from my job I was very impressed with the quality and pace I in which he worked achieving great results that would have taken me many weekends. Amazing job Lachlan and thanks to the team. Definitely recommend their services to others and they are coming back to do the front yard soon.

We required a fence line of Lily Pilly trees to be hedged. They belong to our neighbour and overhang into our pool yard. They are very tall as the neighbour has never pruned them.

The end result was perfect. They were cut back to the fence line. A tremendous amount of leaf litter and branches needed gathering up after hedging. Excellent clean up job. Nigel and Aidan did a fabulous job. Thanks for the great effort guys.

I have been using 1 300 4 Gardening to regularly trim our increasingly tall hedges and maintain various other shrubs around our garden for over 8 years. Lachlan, always friendly, and most recently Sean too, are very professional and thorough. Lachlan always remembers from visit to visit what needs to be done and I leave it up to him to get it done - which he always does. The hedges around our pool are very high but Lachlan, skillfully, keeps them healthy, straight and true. It is not an easy job.

I have been using 13004gardening for many years now. They have always done a great job at a good price. The last couple of times I've had Lachlan trim my hedges and he has done a great job. The yard is cleaned up, even the pool. I'll keep using 13004gardening for my hedges and do not hesitate recommending them for your gardening needs. 🙂
Margie Mulligan
Lachlan and Stephen attended our property for the first time and made a very good impression. They trimmed the hedge and weeded the inside yard and mowed and trimmed our outside half acre - it is the best it has looked for many years. Importantly the cleanup was excellent. We look forward to a long association.
