Lawn mowing in Barnet (EN5)

What is included in lawn mowing

Look for the boundary between lawn and rough growth. An established patch that has grown long may still have a clear, firm edge. Elsewhere, the grass may hide loose edging, dips or objects. Show those parts separately. The first pass may need to leave the grass longer than your regular finish so you can discuss a suitable next cut once the lawn is visible.

• Cut accessible lawn to an agreed first finish
• Assess uneven growth and separate edges
• Gather the grass cuttings and sweep the affected route

What is not included

• Repairing worn or sunken turf
• Clearing rubble or stumps beneath the grass
• Automatically taking clippings off site

Make the first cut useful

Use the first cut to reveal the state of the lawn. If the grass is long in only one corner, show the shorter turf and the corner together. A low view beside a paving edge can show where the grass starts to cover the hard surface. Point out any hidden objects you know about and leave the uncertain area for assessment. The first cut can be useful even if you would like a closer finish later. Agree what you want to be able to do once it is done, then decide whether another visit is needed.

Show any separate patch beyond a wall or passage rather than relying on one photo of the main lawn. The initial assessment needs to establish whether every part you want cut can be approached. If an edge is important, mark where it ends so we can distinguish that strip from the rough growth beyond it.

The RHS advice on mowing long grass recommends starting high for long grass or a first spring mow. It also warns against cutting wet or frosty grass. If the ground is very soft or the grass is too long for an ordinary cut, we assess the initial finish and whether a separate rough-cutting visit is a better fit.

Photos to send

A side-on photo shows how long the grass is. Add a view of the ground beside the longest patch and one from the entry gate. Flag soft or sunken areas, rocks near edges and any objects you cannot move easily.
