Eco-Friendly Solutions for a Greener Future
Auto Mowers
We are proud to lead the way in New Zealand’s commercial auto mower industry. As the first company in New Zealand and Australia to embrace these innovative mowers commercially, we have achieved outstanding results and continue to promote their benefits across our managed sites.
We install, manage, and maintain Husqvarna auto mowers on our commercial properties, ensuring consistently pristine lawns. These cutting-edge mowers operate silently, are battery-powered, and work tirelessly throughout the day. By mulching clippings back into the lawn, they enhance soil health and sustainability while eliminating the need to transport grass clippings—reducing tonnes of green waste annually.
Additionally, this eco-friendly technology helps eliminate the use of litres of fuel every year. Our hard-working bots provide unmatched efficiency, delivering beautifully maintained lawns while making a significant positive impact on the environment.
Battery-powered Equipment
We are deeply committed to sustainability. Aligned with the Government’s Zero Carbon Bill, we have transitioned to 100% battery-powered gardening tools and are 90% battery-powered for lawn mowing equipment. Our ultimate goal is to achieve 100% battery-powered operations as technology continues to advance without compromising efficiency.
This transition has led to a 100% reduction in fossil fuel usage for gardening tools, saving 1,540 litres of petrol annually. Staff benefit from lighter, quieter equipment, resulting in less fatigue and fewer near misses or potential accidents. Feedback from both clients and staff has been overwhelmingly positive, showcasing the positive impact on the community, workforce, and environment.
With noise levels reduced by 13 dB (20x quieter), we can operate in noise-sensitive and restricted areas with minimal disturbance, while also extending our working hours. GOG’s innovative and sustainable approach ensures efficient, eco-friendly, and community-focused services.

Waste Management
Sustainability is at the heart of our waste management practices. We recycle all green waste into mulch at local refuse stations, contributing to a circular economy. Additionally, we promote reuse by repurposing plant pots and sourcing sustainable, locally produced mulch, soil, and garden mix to minimise our environmental impact.
Through bulk purchasing and optimised application techniques, we have reduced the use of mulch, garden mix, and fertilisers by 70%, further decreasing our environmental footprint.
Our eco-friendly approach extends to the products we use. We prioritize organic solutions whenever possible and apply sprays and chemicals responsibly, ensuring effective care that protects both your garden and the environment.
Health and Safety
We are deeply committed to health and safety, continuously striving to improve our practices and ensure a safe working environment for all.
We fully comply with the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, ensuring that our operations meet the highest standards of safety. Our staff are trained with current First Aid and Grow Safe certificates, equipping them with the skills to respond effectively to any emergency situation.
We are proud to utilize the Safety Seek health and safety system, which helps us proactively manage and monitor safety protocols, ensuring the well-being of our team and clients at all times.
