There’s something refreshing about meeting someone who’s finally decided it’s their time. That’s exactly the feeling you get when you meet Paul, the friendly face behind James Home Services Lawn & Garden Care – Hoppers Crossing. After decades of helping people solve problems from behind a counter or under the bonnet, he’s stepping into a new chapter that brings him outdoors, back into his community, and firmly into a business he can shape with pride.
Paul spent many years as a diesel mechanic before moving into the world of automotive and truck spare parts — becoming the go-to interpreter for customers who needed the right part, first time, every time. He has always enjoyed the challenge of a complex problem and the reward of finding a solution that makes someone’s day easier. That mix of patience, people-skills, and attention to detail now forms the backbone of his new lawn and garden care business. “I love walking away knowing I’ve done a great job for someone,” Paul says. “That feeling never gets old.”
Life outside work has always been built around doing things properly, whether it’s maintaining a spotless garage, completing his Business Diploma, keeping fit, or enjoying his hobbies — boating, kayaking, camping, and his tropical fish tanks. But like many families, weekends were fast becoming a blur of household jobs squeezed in between everything else. Running his own business gives him the chance to regain balance, invest more time in the things he loves, and build something he can be proud of.
Paul has lived in Hoppers Crossing since 1988, and for him this isn’t just a business; it’s a chance to contribute to the community he’s been part of for nearly four decades.
Paul now offers a full suite of professional Lawn & Garden Care services, including mowing, edging, hedge trimming, pruning, mulching, seasonal garden tidy-ups, soft landscaping, and more. Whether it’s a small front lawn, a regular maintenance schedule, or a garden that needs a complete revamp, he brings the same calm problem-solving approach and attention to detail that has defined his entire working life.
He is now proudly servicing Hoppers Crossing, Werribee, Point Cook, Altona Meadows, Truganina, Tarneit, Manor Lakes, Wyndham Vale, Williams Landing, Laverton, and Seabrook. Backed by the James Home Services commitment to quality, reliability, and friendly, local service, Paul is ready to help customers reclaim their weekends and enjoy lawns and gardens that feel well-cared-for.
If you’d like a free, no-obligation quote, Paul would love to chat. You can book directly through his James Home Services page or give him a call to organise a visit. Whether you’re looking for regular care or a once-off tidy-up, he’s here to help — with professionalism, pride, and the kind of service people remember.
Welcome to the James team, Paul. We’re thrilled to have you on board, and we know your community will be too.
