A striped, well-kept lawn on a Canterbury property

Lawn Care in Christchurch

Three simple year-round plans — treatments, striped mowing and full lawn programmes — priced to your actual property and held to the same standard as our construction work.

Care is half our name

Horizon builds landscapes for builders, developers and Canterbury properties — and the same discipline runs our lawn and property care. We start with the soil, not the spray bottle: treatments matched to what your lawn actually needs, visits on a schedule you can rely on, and a finish we're happy to put our name to.

We won't be the cheapest mow on the street. We will be the lawn you stop having to think about.

A neatly striped, well-kept lawn

Priced to your property, not a rate card

Every lawn is different — area, access, edges, condition. Send us your address and we'll price your actual property, then come back with a firm price before anything starts. No pressure visits, no obligation.

Three plans. One standard.

Every plan is built on soil-informed treatments and adjusted through the Canterbury seasons. Pick the level of care; we handle the rest.

  • Essential

    the treatment plan

    Perfect for homeowners who mow their own lawn but want it healthy, green and weed-free.

    • Scheduled lawn treatments through the season, matched to your lawn's condition
    • Root-health, nutrient and soil revitalisation treatments
    • Proactive weed and pest control
    • Moisture-retention treatments for dry Canterbury summers
    • Photo updates by email or text after visits

    In short: a healthy lawn from the soil up — you keep the mowing.

Lawn repair, or a new lawn?

If your lawn is past saving — compacted, patchy, more weeds than grass — repair isn't always the answer. We install ready lawn across Christchurch year-round, with the ground prepared properly first. We'll tell you straight which one your lawn needs.

Beyond the lawn

Hedges, garden beds, pruning, seasonal tidy-ups and green-waste removal — available as add-ons to any plan, or as stand-alone garden maintenance where it fits our schedule. If your property needs more than a mow, tell us what you're dealing with and we'll scope it honestly.

Expert garden care
Planted garden beds kept alongside the lawn

Winter is treatment season. Moss and weed control done now means a stronger lawn in September — and spring renovation slots (aeration, overseeding, topdressing) book out fast. Get on the list before the season turns.

Frequently asked questions

What areas do you cover?

Christchurch City, Selwyn and Waimakariri — roughly Rolleston to Rangiora. Send your address and we'll confirm.

How does pricing work?

We price your actual property — lawn area, access, edges, condition — and give you a firm price before anything starts. No generic rate card.

Am I locked into a contract?

Plans run through the season with fair notice either way. We keep clients with the standard of the work, not lock-in clauses.

How often do you visit?

It depends on the plan and the season — treatment visits are scheduled through the year, and mowing frequency flexes with growth.

What happens over winter?

The plan adjusts: mowing eases off as growth slows, and winter becomes treatment season — moss, weeds and soil prep for spring.

Do you do one-off mowing or tidy-ups?

Our plans are where we do our best work, but we take on one-off garden tidy-ups and property clean-ups where the schedule allows — always worth asking.

Is this the same team that does your construction work?

Yes. One company, one standard — the discipline that finishes our landscape builds is the same discipline that runs your lawn plan.
