South Auckland · East Auckland · Central Auckland
I run Precision Garden Work, and I handle garden maintenance across South Auckland, from Karaka out to Clevedon, Papakura, Drury and everywhere between. I also take on jobs further out in East Auckland and Central Auckland. I'm Anton Schellingerhout, and every job, start to finish, is done by me.
No call centre. No subcontractors. No corners cut. Just honest work at a fair, fixed price, done right the first time.
Tell Anton about the property and what needs doing.
No two properties need the same thing. Some just want a fortnightly mow. Others need a full turnaround after months of neglect. Here's what's covered.
01
Regular visits to keep a property tidy, healthy and looking the way it should. Weeding, trimming, pruning, spraying, mulching, fertilising, all of it. Set up a schedule and I'll keep coming back.

Overgrown garden got away on you? I'll bring it back under control. Unwanted growth removed, green waste cleared, and the property left clean and organised, not just tidier.
Get a Clean-Up Quote03
Mowing, edging and general lawn care to keep the grass healthy and well presented. One-off or ongoing, whatever suits.

Hedges and topiary trimmed properly, not just hacked back. Keeps the shape and structure right, whether it's a straightforward hedge line or something more detailed.

Tired garden beds brought back to life with quality soil, mulch, fertiliser and plants chosen to actually suit the property. Healthy and practical over just decorative.
Get a Planting Quote06
Tree pruning and removal done with safety, plant health and the rest of the property in mind. I'll have a look and tell you straight what's actually needed.

Any one of those is a normal enough reason to call. It doesn't have to be a disaster first.
Call, text, or send through a quote request with a few details about the property and what needs doing.
Most jobs mean an actual visit to see what's involved, not a guess based on a description over the phone.
No hourly guessing games. The price covers the job I actually assessed.
I do it myself, on the day we've agreed, and clear the green waste as part of the job, not as an extra.
Regular clients get the same person on a consistent schedule, not a different face starting from scratch every time.
"After having many different gardeners over the years, I can honestly say I've never had one as good as Anton from Precision Garden Work. Our gardens have never looked better, and the attention to detail is outstanding. I couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, hardworking, and talented gardener."
"I had a great experience with Anton, he chopped down 5 cabbage trees for me at a very reasonable rate and was very prompt with communication. He took all the logs away and poisoned the stumps so they wouldn't grow back. He did a great job. Highly recommend."

Anton Schellingerhout owns and runs Precision Garden Work. He's got more than 20 years of hands-on horticultural and arboricultural experience behind him, starting young in his family's arborist and landscaping business. That grounding is still how he runs jobs today: look at the property properly, do the work the right way, charge a fair, fixed price for it.
He works solo and takes on every job himself, start to finish. The person who quotes the job is the person who turns up and does it.

Owner & Gardener
Bigger landscaping companies in Auckland often mean a rotating crew, a call centre, and a quote from someone who'll never actually turn up to do the work. Precision Garden Work isn't set up like that.
Anton quotes the job, does the job, and is still the one you call if something needs adjusting later. There's no team overhead built into the price, and no guessing who'll show up on the day. For scheduled maintenance especially, that consistency counts. The same person gets to know your property over time instead of relearning it every visit.
Precision Garden Work is based in Karaka, and South Auckland is home turf, Clevedon, Papakura, Drury, Takanini, Pukekohe, all of it. Jobs also get taken on further out across East Auckland and Central Auckland.
Outside these areas? Still worth a call. Coverage keeps growing, and the quickest way to find out is just to ask.

There's no price list on this page, because every property is different. A fortnightly mow and a full garden makeover aren't in the same ballpark. What doesn't change is how the pricing works. Anton looks at the actual job, gives a fixed price upfront, and that's the number, not an hourly estimate that creeps once the work's already started.
No discount codes, no bargain-bin rates. Just a fair price for the work that's actually involved.
Depends on the property and the job. A regular mow costs differently to a full clean-up or tree work. Every quote is fixed-price and based on an actual look at the job, never a guess.
South Auckland is the core area, with jobs also taken on across East and Central Auckland. Get in touch to confirm coverage for a specific address.
In most cases, no, as long as there's clear access to the areas that need work. If you'd like to be there, that's fine too.
Most regular clients go with a fortnightly or monthly visit, depending on how fast things grow and the time of year. A schedule that suits the property gets suggested after the first visit.
Invoice or cash, both work. No Afterpay or buy-now-pay-later option at this stage.
Yes. Jobs like a mow and a hedge trim are often combined into the one visit rather than booking separate call-outs for each.
Reach Anton directly. No call centre, no booking system in the way.
