Cut my grass in Lincolnshire

Cut my grass: the basics

What the job involves

Grass-cutting services visit weekly or fortnightly in the growing season (roughly March to October), mow, strim the edges and either take the clippings away or compost them on site. Many also do a general tidy, weeding and hedge trimming on the same visit.

What to ask a pro, and what to have ready

Say how big the lawn is (or the plot), whether access is through the house or a side gate, and whether you want clippings removed. Ask the price per visit, how often they come, what happens in wet weeks, and whether they bring their own mower and fuel.

Safety and good to know

If you want someone to use your mower, check it is safe and serviced. Removing garden waste for payment requires the business to be a registered waste carrier. LincsDirectory doesn't vet or endorse businesses — always check credentials and get a written quote.

Good to know

cutting too short in dry weather stresses a lawn, so a gardener will usually raise the blades in summer and lower them a little in spring and autumn. If you also want hedges, beds or paths kept tidy, ask for a combined maintenance visit; it is often better value than separate jobs.
