About Us - Quick Silo Garden Care

From One Ute to a Team of Twelve

Quick Silo began in 2015 when founder James Mitchell traded his office job for a pair of secateurs and a borrowed trailer. What started as weekend work for neighbours quickly became a calling.

The business grew through word of mouth. Clients appreciated that James actually listened to what they wanted rather than imposing cookie-cutter solutions. He remembered their plant names, their pets, their preferences for when to schedule visits.

Today, our team of twelve carries forward that same attentiveness. Each crew member undergoes hands-on training before visiting clients independently. We invest in proper equipment and maintain it religiously — no one wants their garden care delayed because of a flat tyre or dull blades.

Our Values

Reliability

We show up when scheduled, every time. If weather forces a change, we communicate proactively and reschedule within the same week whenever possible.

Transparency

No hidden fees, no surprise charges. Quotes include everything, and if we spot additional work needed, we discuss it before proceeding.

Craftsmanship

We take pride in our work. Every edge is crisp, every hedge is level, every bed is weed-free. The details matter because your garden reflects you.
