What is different about lawn mowing in Brisbane
Brisbane lawns grow almost year round. The subtropical climate means couch, buffalo, zoysia and kikuyu need fortnightly cuts through the long warm season from September to May and every three to five weeks through the mild winter, with a surge after summer storms. Most mowing is sold as a recurring service and regular customers get the best per-visit rates; a one-off cut of an overgrown block after a wet summer costs considerably more.
The market is one of the largest in the country, from national franchises to a huge number of sole traders, and prices are moderate for a capital. Hilly suburbs from Paddington to The Gap add slopes; the acreage fringe brings ride-on work.
Long growing season
Fortnightly cuts for most of the year; monthly in winter.
Storm surges
Summer rain drives fast growth and missed cuts get expensive.
Slopes
Hilly inner suburbs take longer and need push mowers.
Green waste
