Most lawns need more frequent mowing while they are actively growing and less during winter. There is no calendar that works for every yard in Melbourne’s west. Grass type, rain, sunshine and the height you want to maintain all affect when it is time to mow.

An overgrown garden can make every job seem urgent. The hedge blocks the path, weeds fill the beds and a pile of cuttings has nowhere to go. Trying to fix everything at once usually makes the work harder.
