- Our Story
Trusted Pre Sale Tidy Up Services in New Zealand
We started Rapid Refresh with a simple idea: getting homes ready for sale shouldn’t be slow, stressful, or overpriced. After years of working in landscaping and property prep, we saw a gap — no one in New Zealand was offering fast, all-in-one exterior clean-ups focused purely on presale.
So we built it.
Today, we’re the go-to crew for real estate agents and homeowners across Christchurch and Canterbury who need things done properly — and done now. Whether it’s a full garden overhaul or just tightening up the edges, we bring the same energy: fast turnarounds, no mucking around, and a finish that helps your home sell faster and for more.
(And yep — we still do landscaping too. If it’s outside and needs fixing, we’re into it.)
Why Rapid Refresh?
We’re not your average landscaping crew. Here’s what sets us apart:

Ashleigh CottierAugust 4, 2025 I just want to give a massive shout out to Roy and the amazing team at Rapid Refresh! We found ourselves in a bit of a bind needing an end of tenancy garden tidy up done last minute and somehow, Roy made it happen. Not only did he manage to fit us in immediately, but he and his team absolutely smashed it out of the park. They tackled everything with efficiency, professionalism, and seriously impressive speed, all while delivering top quality results. We are beyond grateful. The stress it took off our shoulders during such a hectic time is something we’ll never forget. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend Rapid Refresh to anyone. I promise, you’ll be in very good hands! Thank you again, Roy and crew. You’re absolute legends. Ben TwigdenAugust 1, 2025 Great experience with Roy and the team, they went above and beyond to get our gardens and yard looking in top shape prior to selling our house. Would recommend. Charlotte MasonJuly 31, 2025 Roy and his team are incredible! Whenever we require gardening work, or even a quick tidy up pre market for a property they are there to quote within the day, and generally have the work done within a week. They are extremely efficient and do an amazing job for sellers as well to add value to their home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rapid Refresh to anyone :) ShirleyJuly 31, 2025 Best communication, amazing job 😊 SteveJuly 23, 2025 Did a great job at my business location Kelly WJuly 21, 2025 The new ready lawn and lawn repairs done by Roy and his team look fantastic. The guys worked really hard and I would definitely recommend this company to others. Hamish McEwenJuly 21, 2025 Great job, fast and affordable. Would use again. Caleb GriffioenJuly 18, 2025 Roy and his team are absolute legends! They know what it takes to get properties ready for market and nothing’s ever too much of a problem for them. 👏👏👏 Nathan GilbertJuly 17, 2025 Being a real estate agent, presentation is everything for me - in my biggest hour of need Roy and Rapid Refresh came to the rescue recently. Not only are they efficient, they are brilliant at what they do in an absolute timely manner. I have now decided they will be a big part of my business moving forward - I’m referring them to everyone!! Do yourself a favour and get Rapid Refresh on the case. 🙌 James PearseJuly 16, 2025 Roy took the time to meet, listen, assess and communicate clearly how he understood the work we wanted done. He also added some of his own suggestions which were great ideas. Roy was easy to work with and always available to talk as we went through the process of finalizing the scope of work. Roy and his team then got stuck in and returned the overgrown garden to its former glory. The whole process was stress free and the final outcome exactly what we had in mind. We are more than happy to highly recommend the team for any project the reader has in mind.
