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.

Mowing several nature strips only in inner north for community

$150

Turner ACT 2612, Australia

15th Oct 2026

Lawn Mowing: Community Project (Canberra Inner North) We’re working on a small community project to tidy up nature strips outside several properties where residents are unable to maintain them due to illness, personal circumstances, or because the properties are vacant. * Mowing 5-6 nature strips in Turner . * Nature strips in this area are generally on the larger side, so please allow for this when quoting. * A corner property with two nature strips would count as two. * An unusually large or oversized nature strip may count as 1.5 or two, depending on its size. * We estimate the entire job will take no more than two hours, including travel and setup, depending on your equipment. * No significantly overgrown nature strips will be included. Grass will not exceed approximately 30 cm in height. * Hazards and obstacles such as fallen tree branches, litter and other visible debris will be removed before mowing. * No green waste removal is required. Grass clippings can be left on the nature strips. * No access to private properties is necessary. Equipment A ride-on mower may make the work quicker and easier, particularly given the size of some nature strips. However, you’re equally welcome to quote using a push mower or other suitable equipment. One of the benefits of this project is that you can complete the work at your convenience. There’s no need to coordinate appointments with residents or arrange access to properties. You’re welcome to fit the work around your existing commitments, including weekdays, weekends, mornings or evenings, subject to reasonable noise restrictions. You can also work around the weather and choose a suitable day to complete the mowing. Noting; * The relatively straightforward mowing conditions. * No requirement to remove green waste or clear debris. * The flexibility to complete the work whenever convenient. * The community-focused nature of the project. Quotes are for whole job of 6 nature strips
