Hello OzBargainers!

We're a lawn mowing business and we'd love everyone to try our lawn mowing service! No one should be spending their weekends mowing the lawn. We come by monthly to maintain your lawn just the way you like it.

That's why we're giving out a free Basic Mow to all new clients (normally $20/month) or $25 for a Full Mow (normally $40/month). For anything larger than a Full Mow (>400sqm) please contact us for a significantly discounted quote! No obligation to continue after the first month if you don't like us - no strings attached!

We also attend to other gardening requests such as hedge trimming, fertilisation and weed removal.

Do we service your area? Fill out our contact form here to find out for sure!

    Mow and mulch or take away?

      Hi whooah1979! We usually leave cuttings in the client's green bin, garden bed, or on the lawn (some clients prefer this as it fertilises the lawn). We can remove cuttings for a small fee - this will depend on length of grass and size of lawn.

  • whooah1979 on 14/07/2016 - 17:48

    Basic Mow to all new clients (normally $20/month)

    How many inches high is this? 2" or 3" or 1' long?

      A Basic Mow refers to the size of the lawn (usually under 100sqm) that is not overgrown. There is a $15 once-off surcharge for overgrown small lawns :)

      What is overgrown? Usually anything above 3 inches (7cm) is overgrown.

      • Gorodemon on 15/07/2016 - 20:53

        I told all my ex-GFs that above 3 inches is considered grown too large or beyond its normal size but none of them believed me! Luckily, I finally found someone (now my missus) who would take my words and believe me.

        We've found quite a lot of demand during the winter because of the rain. After months of rain, the grass is usually due for a good mow!

      Not seeing any problem here. Businesses don't need to be registered for GST if they don't earn above a certain threshold (don't remember exactly what it is, around $70k?).

      • Sheez on 14/07/2016 - 22:39

        Strange to go to the effort to setup a company and not register for GST anyway. Charging GST actually makes you appear more "legit" imo.

          Strange to go to the effort to setup a company and not register for GST anyway.

          registering for gst for services like lawn mowing is a waste of time. with minimum assets and low upkeep costs, while charging 10% less than a big name franchises are an advantage.

          Charging GST actually makes you appear more "legit" imo.

          a client contacts op for a quote. op rocks up and do their thing. op provides the client with an invoice and gets paid. then rinse and repeat every month. how more legit can op be?

        • Sheez on 18/07/2016 - 18:02

          @whooah1979:

          It's just how it is. When you see a business that doesn't charge GST, you know they are a sole trader, and this can carry additional risks - at least many perceive it that way. Obviously not as big an issue for a lawn mowing business, but it can have an impact.

          On the cost side of things, while you charge 10% extra, you also get to claim that 10% gst on running costs and equipment, so there is no reason why you can't still offer your services lower than big name franchises.

          Also when you finally do reach the no GST limit, all of a sudden you have to increase your prices and explain to your existing customers that you now have to charge GST. That alone makes it worth charging GST from the beginning imo.

    Course there is no problem but its to show business location. I don't see someone as a start up servicing all of Melbourne metro especially if located in South Eastern burbs. Easily to over commit and annoy people though. The testimonials are also BS if you read them. Dudes been in business for 2 weeks FFS.

      Hi MoMan - actually we were trading as a sole trader for the past 2 years. It's only two weeks ago when we've decided it's probably better to incorporate and turn it into an official name. The testimonials are also direct from clients. We're purely offering a good deal for users and we do have clients all around Vic - Casey areas, Truganina, Sunshine, Glen Waverley - you name it. Hope that clears things up.
