Nunawading mixes older houses on big blocks with units and townhouses. Whatever the size of the yard, the garden waste still needs somewhere to go.
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 Nunawading 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.
Prunings and clippings from any size of yard.
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.
Rental and unit gardens cleared out.
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 leaves and litter cleared ahead of 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.
Storm branches picked up and removed.
Nunawading sits on either side of Whitehorse Road and the railway, and it's one of the more mixed suburbs in the area. Original post-war houses on large blocks stand next to new townhouse developments and older blocks of units, with plenty of rentals among them.
The green waste reflects that. Older blocks have mature gardens and big trees that need regular cutting back. Newer townhouses have hedges and screening plants that need trimming. Rentals often need a clean-up between tenants. Ross handles all of it, with a green waste collection whenever you need it.
There are still plenty of original Nunawading homes on large blocks, many with deep back yards. After decades, those gardens have grown into large shrubs, fruit trees and trees that need attention.
Clearing them out is often the first step for new owners or for those preparing to sell or subdivide. Ross can take the lot, including heavy woody prunings, in one visit or across several loads.
Nunawading has plenty of rental properties and older unit blocks. Common gardens and small courtyards are often left until an inspection is coming up.
Ross can take away everything that has built up in one visit, and property managers can book directly. He only needs access details and a deadline.
Most streets here are flat and wide, and many properties have straightforward driveway access. That makes loading quick and keeps costs down.
Unit blocks and townhouses with shared driveways can take a bit more carrying, but it's rarely a problem. A photo of the access helps.
Many Nunawading jobs are tied to a date — an end-of-lease inspection, a first open for inspection, or new tenants moving in. Book as soon as you know the date so there is time to fit the work in without a rush.
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.
