Your grass cutting questions answered
What are the benefits of regularly cutting your grass?
Mowing your lawn regularly has many benefits, including a good-looking garden. Frequent mowing results in healthier grass, fewer weeds, and a more resilient garden.
Should I hire someone to cut my grass regularly?
It’s a great option if you’re short on time. Or if you don’t enjoy cutting your grass!
Taking good care of your garden can be time-consuming, but this is where the professionals can help.
Professional grass cutting services can save you precious time and energy. With a Checkatrade-approved tradesperson, you can enjoy a healthy garden without doing any of the hard work.
What happens if you don’t cut long grass?
Leaving grass to grow too long can leave your garden looking untidy. A poorly maintained lawn can ruin your garden’s appearance and also impact its health.
When left to grow long, grass becomes weak and negatively impacts the health of the soil below. Lawns that are not well maintained can also become a breeding ground for weeds and insects.
Grass cutting can be a tedious task but is an essential part of a good garden maintenance routine. When grass gets too tall, it becomes difficult to mow. The longer your grass grows, the more challenging it will be to restore your lawn back to its optimum health and appearance.
How much does a gardener charge to cut grass?
The cost of a professional lawn mowing service is influenced by several factors. Grass cutting charges vary depending on the size of your garden and the condition of your lawn.
There are gardeners that charge per hour and others who calculate their fees per square metre. Your location and distance from your chosen gardener can also influence the final price.
Residential grass cutting services charge approximately £30 per 100m². Strimming costs vary depending on the length of grass and the size of your lawn, the current average fee is between £15-110.
You can find in depth grass cutting prices by reading our cost guide.
When should you not cut grass?
If you want to make the most of your garden, a regular mowing routine is a must. While good garden care is important, there are times when grass cutting should be avoided.
Attempting to mow wet grass can result in a clumpy and uneven looking finish. You can also cause damage to your lawnmower if you try to cut grass that isn’t dry.
Frost covered grass should also be left alone. Cutting a frosty lawn can lead to regrowth issues later on. Whenever possible, it is always best to mow the lawn when the grass and soil are dry.
If you want to create a safe haven for wildflowers and pollinating insects, make you garden a mower free zone for the month of May.
