"Our lawn had become really hard and compacted over the years, and water would sit on top whenever it rained. Harry recommended lawn coring and explained exactly how it would help. The team arrived on time, completed the work quickly, and left everything tidy. Within a few weeks we noticed better drainage and healthier growth across the lawn. Highly recommend 6Foot Landscaping to anyone looking for lawn coring in Townsville."
— John
"Very impressed with the results. Our lawn gets a lot of foot traffic from kids and pets, and it had become quite compacted. Harry recommended a core aeration treatment and the difference has been noticeable. The lawn is draining better, feels softer underfoot and is growing much more evenly. Great communication, fair pricing and quality workmanship."
— Kathy
"Excellent service from start to finish. We booked 6Foot Landscaping for lawn aeration after struggling with patchy grass and poor growth. The team was professional, friendly and took the time to answer all our questions. Our buffalo lawn has responded incredibly well and is already looking greener and healthier. We'll definitely be using them again for future lawn care."
