Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be home when the lawn care service arrives?
It is not necessary to be home when HMServices arrives. However, it’s helpful if you provide access instructions, such as gates to open or if there are any special areas that require attention. You can also arrange payment in advance or after the job is completed.
How often should my nature strip lawn be mowed?
The frequency of mowing depends on the time of year and how fast your grass grows. Typically, nature strips should be mowed every 1-2 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer), and less frequently in the cooler months.
What is included in a professional mowing service for my nature strip?
A typical HMServices mowing service includes mowing the grass to an even height, edging along the footpath and clearing away any clippings. Some services we offer may also include trimming, fertilizing, and weed control if requested.

The cost of a HMServices nature strip lawn mow can vary depending on the size of the area, location, and the service provided. On average, it can range from $30 to $80 per visit, but it’s best to get a quote from HMServices for a more accurate estimate.
What happens if my lawn is too long or overgrown?
If your lawn is overgrown, HMServices professional lawn mowing service can handle it, but it may take longer, and the cost could be higher. Overgrown lawns may require multiple cuts to get them back to a manageable size.
