Don McGovern Specialises In Lawn And Property Maintenance

When it comes to professional property maintenance in the Waikato then the expertise of Don McGovern is at the very highest level.

Based in Cambridge, Don McGovern is the manager of PPM (Professional Property Maintenance) which offers specialist services in the following areas of property maintenance: high-end mowing, lawn maintenance, selective pruning, ornamental hedges, edge trimming, water blasting and contract labour.

Don has a wealth of experience in manicuring lawns and says that the appearance of a well mown lawn can add significantly to the appearance and value of a property.

“There are many fine homes on large sections where the lawns don’t compliment the house and gardens,” he says.

“Mulching and fertiliser are critically important with lawns,” he said “And keeping a lawn in its best possible condition means you have to get the amount of fertiliser just right.”

During his career Don – when based in Taupo - laid lawns, helicopter pads, constructed large retaining walls on a significant private subdivision, planted 150 three-metre trees at Wairakei Golf Course, built a swimming pool and undertook a large cobblestone and decretive stone wall contract.
 

Don specialised in landscape contracting at the top end of the market for 12 years and focussed on attention to detail. Clients commented on the high standard of his landscape work.
 

Macpherson Architecture Limited engaged Don as its preferred landscape contractor to undertake all of its landscape contract work in the areas of architectural structures, water features, installation of hard and soft surfaces and supply and installation of tree, shrub and ground cover plantings.
 

In a written reference, Macpherson Architecture director Chris MacPherson states: “Don’s skills in the area of turf installation and maintenance were an added bonus to his business. Much of his business involved detailed and complex structural construction work which was always executed in the highest tradesman-like manner and always with integrity and a very high level of professionalism.”
 

Don’s knowledge of all areas of property maintenance will ensure his clients benefit from his skills. He says life-style blocks, schools, rugby grounds and hospitals as well as retirement villages are all examples of clients which will benefit from his services.
