What influences the price
- Access and layout: slopes, tight gates, stairs, and parking constraints
- Lawn size and shape: overall area and any irregular sections
- Current condition: level of growth, weeds, debris, and time since last service
- Green waste handling: whether we remove or recycle on-site, and any disposal considerations
- Equipment needs: typical push mowing gear or specialty attachments
- Safety considerations: roadside work, utilities, and PPE requirements
- Visit frequency: one-off cleans, or regular weekly/fortnightly/monthly visits
- Any call-out minimums or travel time applicable
Details that help sharpen your quote
Clear photos, rough measurements, and site notes expedite the quoting process. Useful details include:
- Lawn area in square metres
- Gate widths, parking location, pets on site, and any locked access
- Preferred handling of green waste: removal or on-site placement
- Your target mowing frequency: one-off, weekly, fortnightly, or monthly
What is commonly included
Most routine mowing and edging is included, with clippings managed according to your preference, and a final tidy-up is also provided. Green waste disposal is handled through approved facilities at Green Island Landfill and Transfer Stations (Dunedin City Council); we’ll coordinate the best option for your property.
How to read and compare quotes
- Check the pricing approach: hourly rate versus fixed price, plus any minimum charge
- Understand scope: what’s included, what’s excluded, and the expected green waste volume
- Note assumptions: access, site condition, and safety considerations
- Look for insurance and safe-work statements
- Review scheduling options and any savings for regular visits
Typical time on site
- Small lawn mow and edge: about 10 to 30 minutes
- One-off mowing for larger property: typically 40 minutes to 3 hours plus, depending on size and complexity
