Meet Luke

One person, start to finish

Reliable, high-quality work, done properly and without cutting corners.

Luke started DoItRight after years of hands-on landscaping, on homes, on commercial sites and on big infrastructure jobs like the Puhoi to Warkworth motorway. He kept seeing the same gap: people wanted someone reliable who'd turn up and do the job properly.

So that's the business. He takes the time to understand what matters to you, whether that's how it looks, how it works or how long it lasts, and talks you through options that suit your space, your budget and how much upkeep you want.

  • Owner-operated. The person you talk to is the person who does the work.
  • Tidy. Your property respected and the site left clean.
  • Site Safe. Trained to work safely, on big sites and small.

    Major “jungle” cleanup

    An absolutely excellent and professional job done by Lukey - totally impressed with his work and his work ethics - totally brilliant job done - when i stated i had a jungle to "clear" I was NOT joking - I am so very happy that i can now see my clothes line (yes honestly) and the nasty noxious weeds have gone. When I say he has done a blimin fantastic job - that is an understatement - I'm so glad i went with this guy - not only professional, exceptional work but a lovely personality with it!!

Questions

Things people ask before they call

Is it just you, or a crew?

It's just Luke. He's the owner-operator and does every job himself, from the first phone call to the final clean-up. No rotating crews and no subbies, so the person who quotes the job is the person who does it.

What areas do you cover?

Luke is based in Whitford and Brookby in East Auckland and works right across the region: as far south as Mercer, as far north as Orewa, and east and west in between. Pukekohe, Papakura, Manukau, Botany, Flat Bush, Clevedon, the North Shore and everywhere around them.

How much does lawn mowing cost?

Lawn mowing starts from $20. Bigger lawns, clearances, planting and landscaping jobs are quoted once Luke has seen what's involved.

Do you do one-off jobs or regular visits?

Both. Plenty of work is one-off: a clearance, a makeover, a planting job. If you'd rather not think about the lawn or garden at all, Luke can come back on a regular schedule and keep it that way.

Can you handle a really overgrown section?

Yes. Overgrown sections are a big part of the work. One recent customer in Mangere had a "jungle" that hid her clothesline. Luke cleared it back, noxious weeds and all, so she could use the section again.

Do you do landscaping and paving as well as gardening?

Yes. Luke has years of residential and commercial landscaping behind him, plus work on large infrastructure projects like the Puhoi to Warkworth motorway. Planting, garden makeovers, paving and driveway areas are all part of the job.

How do I get a quote?

Call or text 021 280 1162, email lukedoitright@myyahoo.com, or send a message through the site. Tell Luke where you are and what needs doing, and he'll come back to you.
