What is different about lawn mowing in Mackay
Mackay lawns grow like the cane around them. The wet season from December to April drives couch, buffalo and kikuyu hard and weekly cuts are common; the dry season slows growth but rarely stops it, thanks to Mackay’s higher rainfall than Townsville, so fortnightly to monthly cuts continue. Yards are often large in the older suburbs and on the rural-residential fringe, and tropical gardens add constant edging and trimming.
The market is a mix of franchise operators and sole traders, with availability affected by the mining cycle. Regular fortnightly customers get the best rates.
