What you get

What every lawn mowing visit covers

The difference between a cheap mow and a good one is nearly all in the parts that take the extra ten minutes.

Cut at a height that suits

Left longer through the dry months so the roots stay shaded, taken down as growth eases. Scalping a lawn in January is how you get a brown one in February.

Every edge, every visit

Along the drive, the paths and each garden bed. A mown lawn with ragged edges still looks unfinished, and edging only every third visit shows.

Trimmed around the obstacles

Trees, letterboxes, clotheslines, fence lines and the awkward strip behind the shed all get done by hand rather than mown around.

Blown down before we go

Drive, paths and patio cleared of clippings, so there is nothing to walk inside on your shoes.

Clippings dealt with

Left to mulch back in when that suits the lawn, or taken away when the growth is too heavy to leave sitting.

Gates shut, dogs considered

Tell us about the dog and the gate latch once and it goes on the round notes for good.

Who it is for

Who books lawn mowing with us

A mowing round is not only for people who cannot do it themselves. Most of ours are people who could and would rather not.

Households short on weekends

The most common reason people ring. The mower works, the time does not, and the lawn quietly gets away over three busy weeks.

Rental properties

Landlords and managers get the grass kept without chasing anyone, and a dated photo lands after every visit if the tenancy file needs it.

Holiday homes and absent owners

The section stays presentable while you are not in town, and you see each visit without driving over to check.

Lifestyle blocks

The mown part around the house, drive and shelter belt — a ride-on job rather than a walk-behind one, quoted accordingly.

Properties going to market

Getting the grass right for photos and open homes, then kept that way until it sells.

Anyone who would rather not

Age, a bad back, a steep bank, or simply no interest in owning a mower. All perfectly good reasons.

Too big for a walk-behind mower? Ride-on mowing is quoted separately. A section that has gone well past mowing is a section clean-up first, then the round starts after that.

Pricing

Bay of Plenty mowing & edging prices

Lawn mowing and edging starts at $35 per visit. What moves it from there:

01
Area of grassA townhouse strip and a full quarter acre are different amounts of walking behind a mower.
02
How often we comeWeekly works out cheaper each time, because the mower is never fighting three weeks of growth.
03
How much edge there isA plain rectangle edges fast. Beds, trees, a winding path and a long fence line add up.
04
Slope and accessA flat lawn through a wide gate is a different job from a bank you need a line trimmer for.

Why people move their lawn mowing to us

Almost nobody leaves a mowing round because the cut was bad. They leave because the mower stopped turning up, or the invoice kept moving. Both are fixable and both are on us.

The same crew, not whoever is free

They already know your gate latch, which strip the dog uses and where the sprinkler head hides. That knowledge is worth more than it sounds.

The price stays the price

Agreed per visit up front. It does not creep up because the grass was long that week or because it is January.

Skipping a week is fine

Away, or the lawn has barely moved? Say so and it comes off that week’s run. There is no contract to escape and no charge for a mow we did not do.

Local know-how

What Bay of Plenty conditions do to a mowing round

A fixed fortnightly schedule works in a cooler climate. Here it either falls behind in November or wastes your money in July.

Lawns here grow hard

The warm, humid climate suits the vigorous creeping lawn types, and they put on serious growth through summer. They want a firmer, more frequent cut than a cool-climate lawn.

A season that runs long

Roughly Labour Weekend to April is the push. Winter growth almost stops, which is when the round stretches out instead of billing you for a mow the lawn did not need.

Coast and inland cut differently

Sections on the coastal sand dry out quickly, so the blade stays higher around Papamoa and the Mount. The heavier orchard ground inland grows harder and brings the mower back sooner.

Thatch builds up quietly

Damp air means the dead layer under the grass thickens faster here. We flag it when it starts mattering rather than letting it choke the lawn, and dethatching is a separate job when it does.

FAQs

Lawn mowing questions we get asked

Mostly about frequency and what happens to the clippings.

How much does lawn mowing cost in the Bay of Plenty?

It starts at $35 per visit. Where yours sits depends on the area of grass, how often we come, how much edging there is and whether the mower can get through the gate without a wrestle.

How often should a lawn here be mown?

Weekly from about Labour Weekend to March, fortnightly either side of that, and stretched out over winter. Fixed all-year fortnightly is the usual mistake — it falls behind in the push and wastes money in July.

Weekly or fortnightly: which works out cheaper?

Weekly is cheaper per visit because the grass never gets heavy, though you have more visits. Fortnightly costs more each time in the growing months because there is twice the growth to get through.

Do you take the clippings away?

Usually they mulch back in, which feeds the lawn and is better for it. When growth is heavy enough that clumps would sit on the surface and smother the grass, they come away with us instead.

What if the lawn is far too long to start with?

It gets brought down over two cuts rather than one. Taking a badly overgrown lawn straight to normal height in one pass leaves yellow stalk that takes weeks to green up.

Can I skip a week or pause over winter?

Any time, and there is nothing to pay for a visit that does not happen. No lock-in contract, so pausing over winter or while you are away is just a message.

Do I need to be home?

No, as long as the crew can get in. Tell us about the gate latch, the dog and where the bins live once and it stays on the round notes. A photo goes out after each visit either way.

Will it be the same crew every time?

Yes, and that is most of the value. A crew that already knows your sprinkler head and the strip the dog has flattened works faster and cuts better than someone reading an address off a screen.

Do you edge every visit or only sometimes?

Every visit. Edging is what makes the difference between a cut lawn and a finished one, and doing it every third time is obvious from the street.

Which towns do you mow in?

Across the harbour side: Otumoetai, Matua, Bethlehem and Tauranga itself. Out towards the beaches: Mount Maunganui, Papamoa, Welcome Bay, Ohauiti. Inland there is Tauriko and Pyes Pa, and west of the harbour Omokoroa, Te Puna and Te Puke. Somewhere else? Worth an ask.

Add to the round

Other Bay of Plenty jobs done on the same visit

Grass cutting is where nearly everyone starts, and the rest of the lawn care follows on: weed control and fertilisation for what a mower cannot fix, and a garden maintenance round for the beds either side of the grass.
