What is included in lawn mowing
Give us the current picture of the grass, not an older photo from shortly after it was cut. Length, wet patches and the area around the edges help us assess the job. If a part of the lawn is too overgrown to see what is underneath, describe it separately. This helps distinguish ordinary mowing from work that needs a clearance assessment.
- Mow the accessible lawn included in the written brief.
- Strim or edge agreed boundaries where the cut needs a different tool.
- Gather clippings and sweep the paths affected by the mowing.
What is not included
- Mowing is separate from repairing patchy turf or changing the levels.
- Dense overgrowth with unwanted vegetation may need clearance.
- Collection of cuttings is charged separately when requested.
Take one view across the lawn and one along its longest side. Include any corners that dip or remain wet, and explain which areas can be reached with a mower. A close photo at the grass line helps put long growth in perspective.
If this is a first cut after a gap, say how long the grass has been left and which part you use most. Show the lowest corner, particularly if the ground there feels soft underfoot. If you want a separate strip left longer, draw the line where you would like the cut to stop. A photograph from the gate helps show the approach. One from the shed or far corner helps show what might be hidden behind the beds. Tell us where you normally put clippings if you would like to keep them on the property.
