Strathpine is right next to our base in Brendale, and regular lawn mowing is the most common job we do there. Most Strathpine homes have good-sized backyards on older blocks, often with established trees, sheds and long fence lines, and a fair number are rentals.
We mow, edge and trim on fortnightly schedules through the warmer months, and many Strathpine customers add a quick hedge trim or garden tidy to the same visit.
Older Strathpine lawns
Many Strathpine lawns have been mown for forty years or more. They're often a mix of couch, weeds and whatever has blown in, growing over heavy clay that has compacted under decades of foot traffic. Mowing at the right height, rather than scalping, is the first step to thickening them up.
Where the lawn has thinned badly or filled with bindii and clover, we'll suggest adding weed control to your visits, or a spring lawn restoration to relieve the compaction and feed the soil.
Rentals and end-of-lease cuts
Strathpine has plenty of rentals, and a lot of our work here is for landlords, tenants and property managers. We do regular mowing during a tenancy and one-off cuts before routine inspections and exit inspections. See rental property maintenance.
Quick to reschedule
Because Strathpine is only five minutes away, we can usually move a mowing visit by a day or two when heavy rain makes the clay too soft to mow without damaging it.
Adding a garden tidy to your visit
Many Strathpine backyards have established hedges and garden beds along the fences. Rather than book a separate contractor, most customers add a garden tidy every second or third mowing visit: a quick hedge trim, weeding the beds and cutting back anything growing over paths. It keeps the whole yard in shape without a big clean-up every few months, and all the green waste goes with us.
