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.

Looking for help mowing lawn

$180

Templestowe Lower, Victoria

11th May 2026

I have been unable to maintain my backyard lawn due to ongoing health issues and the lawn mower I own breaking. I have a routine house inspection scheduled for Thursday the 21st of May, so I am once again looking for gardeners to come help out. About the task: • Only the backyard needs to be done • Grass is quite tall and I can post measurements of the length if requested • A tenant will be home almost any day, any time of day, we can work with your schedule • Listing price is what was paid last gardener, price can be negotiated Please note; A previous tenant had a pet dog, who dug many holes in the backyard. Me and my housemates are working to cut down the grass around the holes and fill them, or at least put markers over them, to avoid any rolled ankles. I will update the hired gardener what has been done regarding the holes. Additionally; my housemates are still attempting to do the lawns themselves, so some of the lawn may be shorter when the time comes to do the job than what is displayed in the pictures. We have a whipper snipper on site Type of gardening: Lawn mowing Size of garden: 150m²-300m² Has green waste bin: Yes

George was incredibly helpful and communicative, he was also very polite and easy to work with. Hired him to mow incredibly overgrown backyard and he did a brilliant job, I would definitely recommend :)
