Grass cutting in Newdigate

Weekly or fortnightly mowing for the large lawns that come with Newdigate’s detached homes.

Grass cutting in Newdigate usually means a lot of grass. Most homes in the parish are detached, and plenty of them have a lawn that runs back towards a field or a copse. We mow with rear-roller Hayter mowers, so you get proper stripes, then edge, strim round the awkward bits and take every clipping away.

We’re a local lawn mowing service based 4.5 miles away in Horley, and the same team comes each time. Before long they’ll know which corner of your lawn stays boggy until May, and where the mower can’t go after a wet week.

Grass cutting in Newdigate starts later on clay

Later than you might like. The ground here is thick clay, the same stuff the village brickworks dug for nearly fifty years, and it holds winter rain like a sponge. A lawn can look ready in late March and still be soft enough to take a heel print. Mowing then squashes the soil and tears the grass, and that compaction comes back as moss the following spring. So the first cut is a high one, taken on a dry day. We’d rather wait a week than rush it.

Lawn mowing in Newdigate through a dry summer

Through May and June a weekly cut keeps a large lawn manageable and stops the clippings piling up. Once the clay starts drying out in July, we raise the blades and drop to fortnightly. Longer grass shades its own roots, so it holds its colour while a scalped lawn turns the colour of straw. If you’ve been searching for a grass mowing service near me because the ride-on has packed up again, fortnightly for most of the season is the sweet spot for most lawns out here.

Rough grass at the far end, by a hedge or a ditch, can be left longer and cut less often if you’d like a wilder strip. Just say.

Lawn Mowing in Newdigate: your questions

Anything else, just ring. You’ll speak to the people who do the work.

How much does grass cutting cost in Newdigate?

It depends on the size of the lawn, how easy it is to get the mower to it and how often you want us. A big lawn cut regularly costs less per visit than the same lawn rescued once it’s knee high. Once we’ve walked the lawn, you’ll have a fixed price.

Can you cut a lawn of half an acre or more?

Yes. Big lawns are normal out here. We’ll talk through how often it really needs doing, and whether some of it could be left as longer grass to save time on each visit.

What happens if it rains on the day?

If the lawn’s soaked, we won’t cut it. We’ll move the visit to the next dry day and let you know. On clay, mowing wet grass does more harm than leaving it a few more days.
