Frequently Asked Questions

If your lawns are overgrown then the cost is higher due to the extra effort and wear and tear on the equipment to bring them under control. For these and special conditions, a visual inspection and quote may be necessary for the work to be done.

As a guide the following may help in giving you an idea of the cost:-

If the grass/edges are ankle height to mid-calf for an average house, the cost may be between $80 and $150, while for a unit this may be between $70 and $120.

Should the grass/edges be above calf height to around knee height then the cost for an average house will be between $100 and $180 and for a unit $100 – $150.

Should the grass/edges be above knee height then the cost will usually be $200 plus depending on the nature of the overgrowth and the terrain.

The above prices include the disposal of the clippings into your green waste bin.

If you don’t have a green waste bin the we can remove the clippings for an average cost of $10 per bag. An average place may require 1 to 2 bags.

Ongoing lawn maintenence for an average house is $50 – $60 providing the frequency of cut allows for the lawns to be maintained under control.

The ongoing cost for maintaining a unit’s lawns and edges is $40 – $50 again providing the frequency of cut allows the lawns/edges to be maintained under control.

Different types of lawns/grasses, locations, topographical conditions and environmental factors cause grass to grow at quite different rates. This changes with both seasons and weather conditions.

As a guide the following may help:-

In the growing seasons/conditions, say during Spring and early Summer the average time between cuts is 3 weeks.

In the drier months of the hot periods of Summer, this may require a frequency of 3 – 5 weeks. 

In the cold and wet months of Winter the average cut frequency may be 6 or even 7 weeks. However often in this cooler and wet periods different types of grass, collectively termed Winter grass may shoot through, thereby requiring a more frequent cut pattern.
