• What Happens With Your Lawn Over Time

At Over 6 Weeks, Your Lawn Needs A Trim Before
Mowing

• Your lawn is constantly growing, and as each
  blade of grass expands and with every weed that
  pops up and blooms, the time and work it takes to
  trim, cut, and care for that lawn increases.
• Lets take a look at what happens through the
  weeks from the moment your lawn is cut and how it
  affects the time and effort needed to get your
  lawn back into shape.

One Week after Mowing

• A fresh cut lawn is such a sight. The sheaths and
  small blades are cut no more than 50 mm (or even
  shorter in some varieties of grass) in height
  with a clean and uniform look. A healthy fresh
  cut lawn may also have a 10-15 mm thatch layer at
  the base and a very thin layer of dry and freshly
  cut micro-cuttings returning water and easily
  degradable and nutrient rich materials to your
  lawn.

• At three weeks after mowing, your lawn will have
  recovered. It enters a transition period where
  the turf canopy, or the top most blades, have
  begun to elongate and widen. The crown, or the
  base thickens and will become fibrous. Cutting
  past this point adds more time and cost to your
  lawn mowing service because of the growth in the
  top layer of your turf. As the base is thicker,
  this means there is more grass and more frequent
  emptying of the catcher required. Techniques such
  as double cutting the lawn to achieve a clean and
  tidy look may be applied depending on the amount
  of growth your lawn has experienced.

Continue

• At six weeks, your lawn is overgrown. The blades
  are long and wide and the base is now thick and
  well established. Some lawns may even have grass
  that goes up to the knee or higher. Lawn care
  measures will include cutting the top layer of
  the overgrown turf with a whipper snipper then
  mowing the lawn when its at a manageable height.
  This process is time consuming for the mower and
  stressful to the turf as well.
• We advise mowing well before your lawn reaches 6
  weeks or having it taken cared for as soon as
  possible. Maintaining your lawn at a manageable
  height and having it mowed at the right frequency
  is something your lawn professional can advise
  you on depending on the season, the type of turf
  grass youre growing, and the overall health of
  your lawn.

How We Handle Overgrown Lawns

• You find yourself in a pinch, your lawn is
  overgrown and it is continually growing as the

  making that booking and now youve called us to
  come in and save the day. Hurray! Youve made the
  right decisionlet us walk you through what
  happens through that process.

Prior to the Booking

• Prior to finalising your booking, we review your
  propertys lawn size using the address youve
  provided us with and measure the serviceable lawn
  area through satellite images, listing details,
  or through a site visit. After we verify the lawn
  size, we will then send you an initial estimate
  for the lawn care service of your property. This
  estimate gives you an idea of how long a lawn
  professional will be working on your lawn based
  on our past experiences with lawns of similar
  sizes.
• Once you are happy with the estimate and give us
  the go ahead, we will find a suitable time and
  get you booked in for the estimated duration.

• When you book a lawn care service for an
  overgrown lawn, we also ask you for photos prior
  to your booking. These photos allow us to see if
  there is anything out of the ordinary that may
  require extra time or create issues. This will
  also help you show us problem areas with weeds
  that may have grown alongside an unkempt and
  overgrown lawn.
• On the day before your booking, we will place an
  authorisation on your card for the amount in your
  lawn care estimate to make sure that the card is
  working and that funds are available for the
  service.

On the Day of your Booking

• Your lawn professionals routes and schedules
  arent finalised until the day before so
  estimating an arrival window varies from every
  booking. However, you can expect your lawn
  professional to come to your property anywhere
  between our service hours of 7 am to 5 pm.
• Our lawn professionals come in pairs or as
  individuals depending on the size and amount of
  growth on your lawn. When they do come in pairs,
  its important to note that while the time frame
  estimate may be halved, the total labour hours
  will remain the same. If your lawn professional
  realises that significant additional time will be
  required, we will get in touch to let you know
  and have a chat about what needs to be done.
• Your lawn professionals will proceed with your
  booking to meticulously reduce the lawn growth
  prior to mowing it down for a clean and finished
  look. If your booking includes green waste take
  away (highly recommended), your lawn
  professionals will also remove the cuttings from
  the overgrown lawn which leaves nothing but a
  lawn youll be proud of.

After your Booking is Finished

• After the service is finished, a lawn care
  summary with the actual amount of labour hours
  and green waste takeaway (if added to the
  service) will be sent for your review and we will
  debit your card for that amount.
• We will get in touch to let you know about any
  recommendations for your lawn going forward.
  Setting up a recurring service will help take
  lawn care out of your monthly tasks and youll
  enjoy discounts for a frequent subscription.
• You may also be prompted to leave an honest and
  helpful feedback for your booking to help others
  looking for a quick and reliable lawn service
  decide if our service is the perfect fit for
  their needs. Were a small and growing business
  and an excellent customer experience is one the
  things we strongly aim to provide to South East
  Queensland!
