We gather our data from real quotes given by UK tradespeople to UK homeowners on the MyJobQuote platform.

A tidy, well-maintained lawn can immediately make you feel better when you look at it, and it also gives your property more kerb appeal. However, it’s easy for many of us to let things slip and end up with longer grass than we’d like.

So, if this poses a problem for you, you could look for grass cutting services in your area to help you keep a lush, green and well-maintained lawn.

Understanding Your Grass Cutting Needs

It's essential to take a moment to work out what your lawn actually needs.

Do you just want someone to smarten things up once, or maybe you're hoping to get the grass looked after each week?

Here's what to watch out for in terms of grass cutting:

  • Grass that’s grown too long to take care of on your own.
  • Patches where weeds have taken over.
  • Signs of pests or other damage.
  • Areas that look thin, dry, or bare and might need extra care.

Once you have a handle on the basics, it’s way easier for a gardener to tell you what they can do and how often you might need them.

If parts of the lawn are too damaged to bring back, some gardeners may suggest laying new turf to freshen things up.

Check Grass Cutting Specialist Credentials

There’s no single licence for grass cutting. However, a few things can help you work out if someone’s reliable and used to this kind of work.

  • Basic gardening or horticulture training (e.g., a short course or an RHS Level 1 award).
  • Experience using professional mowing and strimming equipment.
  • Public liability insurance, so you’re both covered if anything gets damaged during the job.
  • Photos or examples of past lawn work (you should be able to see these on their MyJobQuote profile).

Your best insight comes from other homeowners. When you look at a gardener’s MyJobQuote profile, you’ll spot reviews, ratings, and pictures showing the lawns they’ve worked on before.

Want extra reassurance? Ask for a quick reference or just message someone who’s left a recent review on their profile. Most folk don’t mind sharing their experience.

Grass Cutting Recommendations

Another way to get quotes from grass cutting services in your area is to ask for recommendations from people in your life.

So, reach out to neighbours. Friends. Family members. Even work colleagues or local community groups can give you a good idea of grass cutting services they’ve used before.

The main advantage of personal referrals is they generally lead to trustworthy lawn care professionals. After all, someone is unlikely to recommend a service unless they had an incredibly positive experience with them.

You may want to solely take this approach for finding a grass cutting service to hire, but for even more options, you could seek personal referrals and secure quotes via MyJobQuote.

Clarify the Contract With Your Grass Cutting Service

Once you’ve chosen a gardener you’re happy with, it's best to get everything written down. It needn't be anything overly complex, though. Just a clear note of what you’re paying for and what they’ll be doing.

A simple agreement should cover the following:

  • A breakdown of the costs for the work you’ve asked for.
  • Exactly what’s included (e.g. mowing, edging, or collecting the cuttings).
  • How and when payment is expected.
  • Any guarantees, or extra requests you’ve made, like using eco-friendly products.

Monitor the Grass Cutting Process

You don’t need to watch every minute, but it helps to check in now and then to make sure the lawn’s being done the way you expected.

If something doesn’t look right, tell them. Most gardeners prefer you to mention it early rather than after they’ve packed up and gone.

Keeping the chat open from the start leads to a better finish. A quick word here or there can avoid small problems turning into bigger ones.

And when you find someone who understands what your garden needs, you’ll notice it straight away. The lawn looks more organised, healthier, and just easier to keep on top of.

When you’re ready to get going, you can look through the lawn care providers on MyJobQuote and see who fits what you need.

What Can a Grass Cutting Company Do?

Most grass cutting companies don’t just turn up with a mower and disappear again. They'll probably offer a blend of jobs. But what they'll provide really depends quite a bit on what your lawn needs and how organised you want things to look.

Here are a few of the jobs they’re often called out for:

  • Frequent mowing to keep the grass at a good length.
  • Edging around paths, patios, and borders.
  • Feeding the lawn with the right fertiliser at the right time of year.
  • Seeding any thin or patchy areas to help the lawn grow back evenly.
  • Aerating the soil so water and nutrients can get down to the roots.
  • Light garden tidy-ups, like clearing leaves or trimming around flower beds.

Not every gardener will offer every job. Several will specialise in one or two things. Take a peek at their MyJobQuote profile to see what they can do for you and what other homeowners have hired them for.
