Professional lawn mowing that keeps your grass looking sharp. Regular or one-off cuts, edges trimmed, clippings removed - a neat lawn without you pushing the mower about.
### More Than Just Pushing a Mower
Anyone can run a mower over grass. Doing it properly means the right height for the season, clean edges, consistent stripes if you want them, and leaving the lawn actually looking cared for rather than just shorter.
### What We Do
- **Mowing** - appropriate height for grass type and season - **Edge trimming** - clean lines along paths and borders - **Strimming** - around trees, posts, and awkward spots - **Clipping collection** - bagged and removed - **Quick tidy** - any obvious debris cleared
> 💡 **Pro tip:** During hot dry spells, raise the cutting height a bit. Longer grass shades the soil, retains moisture better, and stays greener. Most lawns should be cut at 25-40mm depending on grass type.
### Done Right vs Done Wrong
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Done Wrong | |--------------|---------------| | Blade height set correctly | Scalped or left too long | | Edges trimmed neatly | Ragged, overgrown edges | | Clippings collected and removed | Clumps left on lawn to yellow | | Clean stripes if wanted | Random direction, messy finish |

Turn up, cut the grass, you enjoy a tidy lawn. Simple. **Height Guide:** - **Spring:** Medium height, grass recovering - **Summer:** Slightly higher in dry spells - **Autumn:** Gradually reduce for winter **Collection vs Mulching:** Collecting gives a cleaner finish and reduces thatch. Mulching (leaving clippings) returns nutrients but only works if cutting regularly - long clippings must be collected.
Frequently Asked Questions about Lawn Mowing in Newton Abbot
Can you set up regular lawn mowing?
Absolutely. We can arrange weekly or fortnightly visits throughout the growing season (roughly April to October). Regular cutting keeps lawns healthier and tidier than sporadic cuts when it gets long.
Do you edge and trim as well?
Yes, included in the service. We trim edges along paths and borders, strim around obstacles, and leave clean lines. Not just running the mower over and leaving messy edges.
What do you do with the clippings?
We collect and remove them as standard. If you want to leave them on the lawn (mulching), we can do that too - it returns nutrients to the soil. Your choice.
What if the grass is really long?
We'll tackle it, but might need to cut in stages to avoid scalping. First cut higher, then gradually lower over subsequent visits. Takes a bit longer but gets better results than hacking it all off at once.
