If you’ve noticed your garden looking a little more lush, vibrant, or full of life after one of our visits, there might be a secret behind it—and we’re ready to share it.

Our garden maintenance service isn’t just about keeping things neat and tidy. We’re always trialling ways to build better gardens from the ground up—literally. Over the past few months, our horticulturists have been using Neutrog popul8 across a variety of properties, and the results have been nothing short of impressive.

So, what is popul8?

Neutrog’s popul8 is a biological soil conditioner made up of more than 200 strains of beneficial bacteria and fungi. That means it doesn’t just feed your plants—it works deeper, restoring soil biology, improving nutrient uptake, and building natural resilience in your garden beds.

Think of it as probiotics for your soil. Just like gut health affects overall wellbeing in humans, healthy soil biology is the foundation of any thriving garden.

Where we’re using it—and what we’re seeing

We’ve been applying popul8 to selected gardens we maintain regularly, especially those with struggling soil, tired-looking plants, or areas that have seen a lot of traffic and compaction. Our team applies it as part of our soil health strategy, particularly before and after mulching, planting, or seasonal transitions.

The early signs?

• Deeper, stronger root growth

• Better plant resilience during heat or stress

• Vibrant foliage and improved flowering

• Overall better structure and moisture retention in the soil

Our horticulturists are big fans. One of them even said, “You can actually smell the change in the soil—it’s alive again.”

Why it matters

Healthy gardens don’t come from quick fixes. Popul8 helps rebuild the soil biome, which is especially important in newer developments or heavily landscaped areas where natural biology has been stripped away.

Whether we’re rejuvenating an old garden or helping a new one establish, introducing beneficial microbes like those in popul8 sets the entire system up for success.

Want to try it in your garden?

If you’re already one of our garden maintenance clients, chances are we’re already incorporating popul8 into your property’s care—especially if your garden needs a little extra love. If you’re curious or want to know more, we’re always happy to chat through how soil biology works and what we can do to support your garden long-term.

Good gardens take time—but they also take good science and great people. That’s what we’re all about.
