For landlords who manage their own rentals
In Victoria, regular mowing, light weeding and trimming small shrubs at a rented home are usually the renter's job, unless the lease says the landlord pays for them. Big trees, fences and drainage stay with the landlord. So most landlords call us at three times: between renters, when a renter moves out, and when they've agreed to pay for the mowing.
- Between renters or after a move-out: a one-off tidy back to the condition report, with before and after photos showing the time they were taken.
- Empty while it's advertised: fortnightly mowing until it's leased, and we stop the day you text "leased".
- Paying for regular mowing? Fortnightly visits cost 10% less than one-offs, the invoice comes to you, and the photos prove every visit.
- Someone living there: we only come on a day agreed with them, and we knock first. If you give entry notice yourself, tell us the day.
- When you book, pick "Mine, someone else lives there". Add the renter's name and mobile on your account so we can let them know.
- Something we notice, like a broken fence or a leak, goes in the visit notes the same day.

How it works
-
Type your address
Pick it from the list as you type. That's the only thing we need to start.
-
Check it's your block
We draw your block from Vicmap, the state's land map, so we know its size without you measuring anything.
-
Get your price
Answer three quick questions about the grass and the gate. You see a price range straight away, and we text you a fixed price before any work starts.
Every visit, front and back
Prices start at $45 a visit, our minimum. Fortnightly visits are 10% off our one-off price for the same lawn.
Mow
Front and back lawn, plus the nature strip if you want it.
Edge
Along paths, the driveway and garden beds, so it looks finished.

- We tell you when we're coming.Your booking page shows the day and its forecast, and you get a text when we're on our way.
- You don't need to be home.Leave the side gate unlocked or tell us the code; it stays on our job sheet only. If you have a dog, keep it inside while we mow; we won't open a gate with a dog loose in the yard.
- Watch it get done.Your booking page ticks off each job as we go: front, back, nature strip, edges, blow, clippings, gate shut.
- Left tidy.Clippings in your green bin, or taken away if we agreed that. Paths, driveway and porch blown clear, gate shut behind us.
- If we can't get in or the weather turns,we text you and pick a new day together.

Straight answers
I got a nature strip notice from the council. Can you help?
Yes. The nature strip is included in every visit, and we can do just the strip if that's all you need. See nature strip notices for the council's rules and how to book.
I got a fire prevention notice for long grass. Can you help?
Yes, on house blocks and vacant house blocks: we cut it down and can take the clippings away. Pick "Knee high" and "One-off" in the questions. See fire prevention notices for what the notice means and how to book before the due date.
I rent. Can I book you before an inspection?
Yes. Regular mowing at a rented home is usually the renter's job in Victoria. When you book, pick "I rent it" and add your routine inspection or moving-out day. We aim to mow 1 to 2 days before. Add before and after photos when you book ($3) and they're on your booking page, ready to send your agent.
Can I book for my mum or dad?
Yes. Pick "A family member's place" when you book and add their name and mobile. We text them the day before so they know we're coming, and you get the price and the invoice. Add photos ($2–3) or a live stream ($15) when you book and you can see it done from wherever you are.
Can I get photos or a video of the work?
Yes. Before and after photos ($2–3), a short video ($6), the whole visit on video ($12) or a live stream you can watch on your booking page ($15). We can also make posts ready for your socials, from $6. Pick them when you book. We film the yard only, without sound.
Do you do pressure washing?
Yes: driveways, paths, porches and patios, priced by size (see Pressure washing above). Add it when you book a mow, or pick "Pressure washing only". We use water only, cover the street drain and send the water onto your lawn or garden. How we do it
Is the online price final?
No. It's an estimate from your block size and your answers. We text you a fixed price after seeing the lawn, in person or from a photo, and before any work starts.
Why do you need my address?
Your address is how we find your block on Vicmap, the Victorian government's land map. That gives us the block size, so you don't have to measure anything or wait for someone to come and look.
What happens to the clippings?
They go in your green FOGO bin if it has room. If it's usually full, untick that box on the last question and we'll sort it out when we confirm your price.
The grass is really long. Can you still do it?
Yes. Choose "Getting long" or "Knee high or more" and the first visit is priced for it. After that it's back to the normal price.
Do you do big blocks?
Online prices are for standard house blocks. For blocks over about 2,000 m², acreage, or shared grounds, we price after a look.
