Marrie and her husband are the heart and soul behind Sydney Lawn and Garden Blitz. Based in Sydney South, NSW, their business is a shining example of what passion and perseverance can achieve.
Together with her husband, she’s built a thriving lawn mowing and gardening service that serves residential and large commercial properties.
“It’s the love of the outdoors,” Marrie shares when asked what drew her to this line of work. Her passion for nature, coupled with her knack for transforming gardens, inspired her and her husband to start Sydney Lawn and Garden Blitz.
They began with a simple goal: to provide reliable, friendly, and competitively priced lawn and garden services. Today, they offer a wide range of services, including lawn mowing, edging, hedging, pruning, tree cutting, weed spraying, and even lawn fertilising. Their customers include homeowners, schools, retirement villages, and businesses, each benefiting from the team’s dedication to quality.
Running a business comes with its fair share of challenges. Marrie recalls one particularly tough moment when they needed to invest in new equipment to meet growing demand. “It was a significant financial decision,” she says. But Marrie’s belief in the effort they pour into their business kept her going. “I believe the amount of time and effort we put into our business we will get double in return.”
Staying motivated during tough times isn’t always easy, but Marrie has found her balance. “Regular spa and relaxation therapy have a great impact on the mind, body, and soul. It’s how we give back to ourselves.” This philosophy of self-care keeps her and her husband ready to tackle the next job with renewed energy.
Word-of-mouth referrals and social media have been instrumental in growing their client base. Marrie also credits platforms like ServiceSeeking.com.au for helping them win jobs and connect with clients. “It’s an easy-to-use platform,” she says. One success story that stands out involves a customer preparing their home for sale. Impressed with the results, the customer rehired Sydney Lawn and Garden Blitz for a full garden restoration at their new property. “It’s about being consistent with every job we get,” Marrie explains.
Marrie’s dreams for the future are simple but ambitious: to stay healthy and independent while continuing to grow the business. She’s also eager to expand her qualifications and take Sydney Lawn and Garden Blitz to new heights. “Market strategies, communication, and leadership are key ingredients for growth,” she notes.
When asked what advice she’d give to aspiring entrepreneurs, Marrie says, “Believe in your skills and qualities. Failures are learning opportunities. Reflect on the experience, seek feedback, and try new methods.”
With her warm personality and dedication to her craft, Marrie has turned Sydney Lawn and Garden Blitz into more than just a gardening service—it’s a business that genuinely cares about its clients. Whether it’s helping sell a home or restoring a neglected garden, Marrie’s work leaves an impact far beyond the lawn’s edges.
So next time you need a gardener who blends professionalism with heart, you know who to call.
