Title: What Happens With Your Lawn Over Time

  • 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.

After 3 Weeks of Growth

  • 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.

After 6 Weeks of Growth

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
    days go by. Your schedule has kept you from
    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.

13
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.

14
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!
