What’s included with your lawn mowing service?

A standard lawn mowing service involves cutting the grass to between 5-10 cms (2”- 4”), normally using a petrol lawnmower. Lawn mowing contractors will usually bring their own equipment, plus bags to take the rubbish away. If you have a large garden or acreage, a ride on mower might be required, so make sure you specify the size of the area in your post.

But it doesn’t have to end there. Many lawn mowing service providers offer other inclusions along with the mowing, like...

Edging and whipper snipping

Lawn mowing professionals will have a whipper snipper (and other tools) to give your lawn sharp edges and stop your grass from growing onto the footpath or curbs. They’ll also clean around garden beds, trees, and features for a clean, professional finish.

Rubbish removal

Your gardener may use a leaf blower or broom to remove cut grass from the pathways and edges to leave a clear surface. They’ll also take away any lawn clippings, twigs, and any debris that was on the grass before cutting. If you prefer, you can ask that they leave the grass clippings for you to use as mulch or compost.

Lawn mowing does not usually include removing hard rubbish and waste from your grass. If you want your gardener to clear the area before cutting, make sure you specify this so they can include it in their quote.

Fertilising

Keeping your lawns lush and green requires regular feeding and should be part of your garden maintenance. Knowing which fertilisers to apply and when can make the difference between golf-club enviable green and corn flakes crunchy lawns. Strong, healthy lawns need less watering and are more weed resistant.

Weed killing

Keeping weeds out of your lawns will make them a more welcoming place to play, rest, and relax without worrying about prickles and spikes. Regular trimming, manual weed removal, and organic or chemical weed kill will keep your lawns looking a lot healthier, too. You might also add on weeding for your garden beds so your whole garden can look tidy.

Leaf blowing

Leaves on your grass and driveway not only look messy but can create a hazard if they get wet and slippery. Your gardener can provide leaf blowing services and a garden tidy up, including removing the dry leaves.

Aerating

Soil can get compacted over time, so regular aerating is a good idea if you want to keep it healthy. To aerating your lawn, your gardener will use a machine to make small holes in the ground at regular intervals. This allows for better drainage and allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots of the grass.

Seeding

If your lawn has bare patches or is still getting established, you can add garden seeding to your lawn mowing service. Professional gardeners have the tools, equipment, and know-how to freshly seed your lawn and get it growing in no time.

Practical Lawn Mowing Training - to shadow and guide

$350

Melbourne VIC, Australia

28th May 2026

Hi, I’m looking for an experienced lawn mower who is happy to provide a practical simple lesson. Anyone with experience who speaks English can help. I already have lawn mowing equipment and understand the general idea of mowing, but I would like to learn the proper step by step process from someone experienced. I’m especially interested in learning how to use the whipper snipper properly, including edging, corners, and how to avoid damaging fences, walls, plants, or the lawn. I’m happy to either shadow you while you are working, if that suits, or practise together at a residential lawn. I would also appreciate any tips on mower height, mowing technique, clean-up/blowing, safety, and the general order of work. I just want to learn, so please feel free to provide an offer in whatever way suits you best, whether that is a 2–3 hour lesson, a half day lesson, a short shadowing session, or another arrangement that works for you. I’m located in Truganina but happy to travel anywhere if needed in Melbourne for learning purposes Thanks Type of gardening: Lawn mowing, Hedge trimming, Weeding, Other, Whipper snipping, Garden cleanup Size of garden: 50m²-150m² Has green waste bin: Yes

Matt is amazing. He is very skilled at what he does and I highly recommend his services. He taught my Dad all the skills he needed to know. English is my father’s second language however he was able to adapt and teach him in a way that best suits. Thankyou very much !
