Lawn Mowing
In Ireland's mild, damp weather, grass grows from spring well into autumn, and it only takes a week or two of rain to put a lawn out of control. A lawn mowing plan takes it off your list: your grass is cut weekly or fortnightly through the growing season, the edges are trimmed, and you don't have to think about it. One-off cuts and end-of-season tidy-ups are available too.

How we do it
Step by step.
- 01
Look
A walk round the garden to agree how often, what's included and anything to avoid.
- 02
First cut
An overgrown lawn is brought down in stages rather than scalped in one go.
- 03
Regular cuts
Weekly or fortnightly through the season, edges trimmed each time.
- 04
Season's end
A tidy-up cut in the autumn so the lawn goes into winter in good shape.
Best time to book
The growing season in Ireland runs roughly from March or April to October. Book your plan in February or March so the first cut is in the diary before the grass takes off.

Good to know
Clippings
Mulching chops the clippings finely and leaves them on the lawn, where they break down quickly and feed the grass. Where you'd rather not have them on the lawn, they go in your brown bin.
Cutting height
Taking off more than about a third of the grass's height in one go stresses the lawn and can leave it yellow and patchy. That's why an overgrown lawn is brought down over a couple of cuts, and why regular cuts keep it healthier than the odd big one.
More than the lawn?
For hedges, borders, weeding and seasonal tidy-ups, see garden maintenance. Many people combine the two: the lawn on a regular plan, the rest of the garden a few times a year.

Guides
Lawn Mowing: your questions
Should my lawn be cut weekly or fortnightly?
Weekly in late spring and early summer, when grass grows fastest, keeps a lawn neat and healthy. Fortnightly suits smaller lawns, slower-growing grass or anyone happy with a slightly longer cut. Some plans switch from weekly to fortnightly as growth slows later in the year.
What happens to the grass clippings?
They're mulched back into the lawn, which feeds the grass, or left in your brown bin. They aren't taken away.
When does the grass-cutting season start and end in Ireland?
Roughly from March or April to October, depending on the weather. A mild year can stretch it at both ends.
How much does lawn mowing cost?
It depends on the size of the lawn, how often it's cut and how easy the access is. A price guide is coming to this page; until then, quotes are free and there's no obligation.
What if it rains on the day?
Grass shouldn't be cut when it's waterlogged, as it tears rather than cuts and marks the lawn. A very wet day means the cut moves to the next suitable day.
