How Much Do Light Gardening Services Cost in Frankston?
Light gardening services in Frankston typically cost $45-$65/hour (subsidised rates for eligible clients) per hour when accessed through a subsidised program. Rates vary depending on the funding type, the complexity of the work, and the provider's fee structure. Tasks like mowing, weeding, and hedge trimming are generally covered under the standard hourly rate.
For aged care clients on CHSP or a Home Care Package, gardening is funded as part of "Home Maintenance" or "Assistance with Daily Life." The subsidised rate means you pay a fraction of the cost, with the government covering the rest. For NDIS participants, gardening is less commonly funded but may be included where maintaining a safe outdoor environment is directly connected to your disability support needs.
Private clients pay the full hourly rate. Some providers offer fixed prices for standard garden sizes, which can be easier to budget around than an open-ended hourly booking. Always confirm what is included in a fixed price before agreeing.
Note that heavy landscaping, tree removal, or major garden work typically falls outside the scope of funded light gardening services and must be arranged and paid for separately.
| Time | Indicative rate |
|---|---|
| Standard weekday (subsidised) | $45 - $65/hr |
| CHSP co-contribution (approximate) | $5 - $15/hr |
| Private rate | $45 - $65/hr |
| NDIS registered provider (weekday) | $67 - $80/hr |
Rates are indicative. Subsidised rates apply to approved aged care or NDIS participants. Heavy landscaping or tree removal is generally not covered by funded programs. Ask providers about minimum booking times and any call-out or travel fees.

How to Pay for Light Gardening Services in Frankston
Light gardening can be funded through several programs in Frankston, depending on your age and circumstances. The most common funding options are outlined below.
Home Care Package (HCP): Gardening and lawn maintenance are typically funded under the "Home Maintenance" category of a Home Care Package. Your package coordinator will include regular gardening in your care plan if it is part of your assessed needs. Higher package levels allow for more frequent visits or a broader range of garden tasks.
Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP): CHSP covers basic garden maintenance for older Australians who need help keeping their outdoor areas safe and manageable. A My Aged Care referral and assessment is required. Once approved, you pay a co-contribution and the government funds the rest. Call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 to check eligibility.
NDIS: Gardening is not a standard NDIS-funded support, but it can be funded in some plans where maintaining a safe outdoor area is directly related to managing a participant's disability. For example, a participant with a mobility impairment may need a clear, safe path to outdoor areas. Discuss with your support coordinator whether this applies to your situation.
Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA): Veterans with a DVA Gold or White Card may be eligible for home maintenance assistance including garden care under DVA community support programs. Eligibility depends on your card type and physical limitations.
Private payment: No approval needed. Good for clients who want gardening services that go beyond what their funded program covers, or who have not yet been assessed for a subsidised program.
What to Expect from Light Gardening Services in Frankston
Light gardening services are designed to keep your outdoor areas tidy, safe, and manageable, without the physical effort of doing it yourself. The scope is limited to routine maintenance rather than major landscaping or construction work.
Common tasks include mowing lawns, edging, weeding garden beds, pruning low shrubs and hedges, raking leaves, removing minor rubbish or garden debris, and clearing pathways. Some providers also water pot plants or assist with basic planting. Confirm what is included in your service agreement.
Before services begin, the provider will usually conduct a walk-through of your garden to assess the scope of work, note any hazards, and agree on which tasks to prioritise. This is a good time to mention anything specific, such as plants you do not want touched, areas that need extra attention, or access issues like locked gates.
Most providers schedule regular visits, typically fortnightly or monthly, so your garden stays manageable year-round rather than needing a major clean-up each visit. If a session is missed due to weather or other reasons, confirm rescheduling with the provider in advance. Good providers communicate clearly about any changes to your schedule.
