What a standard mowing visit includes

Every visit covers three things: mow, edge, and blow. The mow is to your preferred height — we ask at first booking and keep a note. Edging runs along all hard surfaces (paths, driveway, steps) and along garden bed borders. The blow-down clears clippings from paths, the driveway, and any outdoor living areas.

For a standard 300 sqm kikuyu or buffalo lawn in Sydney's inner suburbs, expect 30-45 minutes on-site. Buffalo needs a little more care around edges because of the broad leaf. Kikuyu grows quickly in summer and may need weekly visits in January and February if you want it kept tidy.

One-off mowing

If you need a single mow rather than ongoing service, the one-off rate applies. A 300 m² lawn is $150 as a one-off, against $145 as a regular visit. See the price table for every size.

Overgrown lawn reset

A lawn that has been left for more than 6-8 weeks usually needs a reset rather than a standard mow. This means multiple passes, a higher blade height on the first pass to avoid scalping, and considerably more green waste. On a 300 m² lawn, the first visit is $175 if it’s been 3–8 weeks since the last mow, or $195 if it’s been more than 8 weeks.

After an overgrown reset, most customers move onto a fortnightly plan. The second mow is always at the regular rate.

Green waste: It’s your choice on the quote: we put it in your green bin if it has room, take it away (charged per 240 L bin, shown in your price), or leave it on site at no charge.

What lawn mowing costs

Lawn mowing in Sydney costs $95 for a 150 m² lawn, $145 for 300 m² and $235 for 600 m² per regular visit (weekly, fortnightly or every four weeks; prices as of October 2026). Regular visits are 5% less than a one-off mow. A lawn that hasn’t been mowed for over 8 weeks costs about 34% more on the first visit, then the regular price after that.

How it’s worked out: Worked out from time on site. 10 minutes to set up, then each lawn area is mowed at 250 m² an hour for the first 50 m², 350 m² an hour up to 100 m², 500 m² an hour beyond that (each square metre at its own band’s speed), plus edging and blowing along its edges. Mowing takes 5% longer for every week since the last mow beyond 2. The time is charged at $150 an hour, with a 30-minute minimum, rounded to the nearest $5. Regular visits are 5% less.

Frequently asked questions

How much does lawn mowing cost in Sydney?

A 300 m² lawn costs $145 per regular visit, including mow, edge and blow-down. A 150 m² lawn is $95 and a 600 m² lawn $235. The call-out is included in the price, and you only pay it once if you book other services in the same visit. Prices as of October 2026.

How often should I mow my lawn in Sydney?

During the growing season (September through April), most kikuyu, buffalo, and couch lawns need mowing every two weeks. In winter, buffalo and kikuyu slow significantly and can go three to four weeks. Couch goes nearly dormant and may only need monthly attention in winter. We adjust the schedule with you as seasons change.

What grass types do you mow?

All common Sydney domestic varieties: buffalo (Sir Walter, Palmetto, Sapphire), kikuyu, couch, and zoysia. Buffalo needs more care around edges because of the broad leaf. Kikuyu grows quickly in summer and may push you toward weekly mowing in January and February. If you have a less common variety, mention it at booking.

Do I need to be home?

Not usually. For most mowing jobs we just need access to the garden. If there is a gate code or a locked area, add it to your booking notes. We send before-and-after photos when the job is done.

What is the difference between a one-off mow and a regular plan?

A regular fortnightly or monthly plan is priced at the base rate. A one-off mow — where you book a single visit with no ongoing commitment — costs about 30% more than a regular visit for the same lawn. This reflects the extra scheduling flexibility and the fact that lawns on irregular cycles often take longer per visit.

Do you mow on weekends?

Saturday mornings until 1 pm. We do not operate Sundays. Most local council noise ordinances in Sydney allow mowing from 8 am on weekends. We follow those guidelines regardless of which council area you are in.
