Pricing, straight
A Fixed Price for the Job — Not a Meter Running
We don't charge by the hour and we don't do surprises. You get a firm price before we start, it doesn't change because a job ran long, and the basics — bladed edging, whipper snipping, blow-down — are never extras.
Why by the job
Hourly rates punish you for hiring careful people
With an hourly rate, thoroughness costs you money — the slower the mow, the bigger the bill, and you only find out the total once it's done. Quoting the job flips that: the price is agreed up front, so being careful is our cost, not yours. A job that takes longer than we planned is our problem, not your invoice.
It's also why we don't publish a one-size price list. A tight courtyard and a half-acre corner block are not the same job, and flat rates quietly overcharge the small blocks to subsidise the big ones. Your price is built on your property — and it holds.
The inputs
What shapes your price
Fast and firm
Most quotes come back the same day
Send a few photos of the lawn and the access with your address and most quotes can be priced the same day, without a site visit. Bigger or more complicated properties get a walk-through so the number is right the first time.
Once you're on the books there's no lock-in contract — ongoing service runs on a recurring schedule for convenience, and you can pause, change frequency or stop whenever you need. You'll get a reminder the day before every visit and an on-the-way message on the day.
Common questions
Quoting FAQ
Do you charge by the hour?
No. Every job is quoted as a fixed price for the defined work, agreed before we start. Careful work is our cost, not your risk.
Is the quote binding?
Yes — the price you accept is the price you pay. If what we find on the ground is genuinely different from what was described, we talk to you and re-confirm before doing anything.
Why is ongoing service cheaper than a one-off?
Scheduled rounds by area mean less travel and no re-learning your property each visit. Predictable work costs us less to deliver, so it costs you less to buy.
Do I need to be there for the quote?
Usually not. Photos and an address are enough for most properties; larger or complex blocks get a walk-through at a time that suits.
Is edging extra?
Never. Precision bladed edging, whipper snipping and a full blow-down are part of every standard mow — the basics are the job, not add-ons.
