Question 1

How often should it be mowed?

Accepted Answer

Through spring and summer most lawns around here want it fortnightly, and a fast-growing kikuyu lawn with irrigation on it can want weekly. Through winter, monthly is usually plenty. We'll suggest a cycle after the first cut rather than locking you into something that doesn't suit the lawn.

Question 2

Do I need to be home?

Accepted Answer

No, as long as we can get in. Most of our regular properties we've got side gate access to and the owner's never there. If a gate's locked, tell us where the key lives or leave it unlocked on the day.

Question 3

What if it rains on my scheduled day?

Accepted Answer

We push it to the next available day rather than cutting a saturated lawn, because a mower on wet grass rips it and leaves ruts. You'll get a message rather than being left wondering.

Question 4

Can you do a one-off before an open home?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it's worth timing it properly. Two or three days before the photos or the open home is the sweet spot — long enough for the cut lines to settle, not long enough for it to grow back.

Question 5

Do you take the clippings?

Accepted Answer

Included as standard. On larger blocks we'll sometimes suggest mulching back in instead, which is better for the lawn and cheaper for you, but that's your call.
