Time on Site

Typical duration: 1–2 hours per standard lawn. Factors extending duration:

  • Larger or overgrown lawns requiring additional passes.

  • Complex layouts with flowerbeds, trees or steep gradients.

  • Debris removal (branches, litter) before mowing.

  • Access restrictions (narrow gates, shared drives).

Questions to Ask Your Trade

  1. Are you insured for on-site emergency work and public liability?

  2. What is your emergency response time, and is it guaranteed?

  3. Which equipment will you use (ride-on, pedestrian mower, strimmer)?

  4. Do you include grass collection and disposal in your quote?

  5. Will any damage to edging, borders or fixtures be covered?

  6. Are there any additional fees for steep slopes or restricted access?

  7. What payment methods and terms apply for emergency call-outs?

How to Avoid Surprises

  • Ensure clear access: unlock gates and remove obstacles.

  • Reserve a parking space near the lawn for rapid equipment access.

  • Confirm out-of-hours or weekend availability if needed.

  • Ask for a written emergency rate including any premiums.

  • Check whether weather delays or ground conditions affect the booking.
