Priced per visit, not by the hour. ### Who it's for Homeowners with lawns too large or awkward for a domestic mower, holiday lets and rental properties where kerb appeal matters, hotels, restaurants and gyms with lawned frontages or beer gardens. ### When you need it Grass in the Highlands typically needs cutting from mid-March to late October, most intensely from May through August. Fortnightly cuts through the growing season keep the sward healthy; monthly is enough for smaller lawns or the shoulder months. ### Why professional matters Cutting too infrequently means removing too much leaf at once, which yellows the grass, weakens the roots and encourages moss. A properly-scheduled mow with the right blade height produces a thicker, greener lawn with far less weed pressure. What happens if you leave it ## The cost of putting it off. ### Long grass ruins the finish Cutting a badly overgrown lawn on a high setting leaves clumps of clippings, tramlines and yellow patches that take weeks to recover. A regular slot avoids this every time. ### Moss and weeds move in Sparse, stressed grass from irregular cutting is exactly what moss and broadleaf weeds want. Consistent mowing at the right height is the single biggest lawn-health lever. ### One-offs cost more than rounds An emergency rescue cut, waste removal and edge-tidy after weeks of growth almost always costs more than the equivalent 2–3 regular visits would have. Why it's worth it ## What you actually get for the money. ### A visibly better lawn Regular cuts at correct height thicken the sward, choke out moss, and produce that even, striped finish a domestic mower struggles to give you. ### You never have to chase it It's on the calendar, it happens. No 'when are you coming?' texts, no cancelled weekends spent mowing. ### Predictable per-visit cost You know exactly what each visit costs, no hourly surprises, no travel charges on top. ### Clippings gone, not stored No overflowing garden waste bin, no piles rotting behind the shed. It leaves in the van. ### Priority in peak season Regulars keep their slot through May–July when everyone else is trying to book a one-off cut and can't. ### Edges and finishing included Strimming, edging along beds, and path sweeping are part of the visit, not add-ons quoted separately. Our process ## How the job gets done. 1. 01 ### Quick site visit or photos We size up the lawn (square footage, obstacles, access) and quote a fixed per-visit price. 2. 02 ### First cut & baseline If the grass is long, we do a phased reset cut so we don't scalp the lawn. Then we're at the correct height for the round to begin. 3. 03 ### Regular scheduled visits Fortnightly or monthly, same day of the week where possible. You don't chase us, we just turn up. 4. 04 ### Edge, strim & sweep Beds, paths and hard edges cleanly finished. Paving swept, clippings blown off drives and patios. 5. 05 ### Clippings removed All green waste bagged and taken away. Nothing left on the lawn or piled behind the shed. Full detail ## Everything worth knowing. Materials, methods, variations and the practical stuff most contractors gloss over.

Try to take off more and the plant panics, it stops photosynthesising, shallows its roots, and turns yellow. In practice this means we set the mower deck to match the season: higher through the hot dry weeks of July to hold moisture, lower in spring and autumn for a tighter finish. A domestic mower held on the lowest setting year-round is one of the fastest ways to damage a lawn. ### How our fortnightly rounds work Fortnightly customers get a fixed day of the week (Tuesdays in Nairn, Wednesdays across Inverness, and so on, depending on your postcode). We arrive with mowers, strimmers, a blower and van space for all the clippings from that day's round. Small lawns take 15–20 minutes end to end; larger properties an hour or more. You're invoiced per visit, cash or bank transfer, after each cut. ### Commercial and holiday-let grass cutting Hotels, restaurants and gyms with lawned frontages are cut before opening hours where possible, so guests never see the mower. Holiday lets are prioritised around changeover days, we can time cuts to the day before check-in so every new arrival sees a freshly-striped lawn. Commercial customers are invoiced monthly rather than per visit. ### One-off rescue cuts If your grass has run away from you, knee-height, seeded, and no mower will touch it, we handle it as a one-off first. That usually means a strim to knock the height down, a rake and clearance, then a proper mow once the ground is workable. From there, most customers put the lawn onto a fortnightly round so it never reaches that state again. ### What we don't do (yet) We're a grass-cutting service, not a lawn-treatment service, no scarification, aeration, top-dressing or fertiliser programmes as standalone jobs. We can point you toward specialist lawn-treatment companies if the lawn needs restoration work beyond good cutting practice. FAQ ## Common questions.
