Who we are

A Canberra company built on quality work

Mowtion Gardens was started by Luke Cimbora. Over more than five years it has grown from one person's work into a registered company with a branded trailer, real systems and a name people know across Canberra.

We look after homes, strata complexes, real estate rentals and commercial sites. Hedges, garden beds, lawns and full clean-ups.

We are not the cheapest, and we don't try to be. Clients choose us for the finish. That is why we need people who care about the finish too.
