Professional lawn mowing and gardening in Koonawarra

We'll generally wait until the surface has firmed up before mowing wet clay, since cutting it too soon just rips and ruts the lawn rather than trimming it. For the drainage itself, gypsum worked into the clay plus regular aeration opens the soil up over time and stops water pooling as badly after a storm.

Small, maintained Koonawarra lawns start from $50. Mowing with edging and blow-down is generally $70–$150+, gardening visits start from $70, and overgrown recovery runs from $100–$250+, depending on size and access.

Not usually, though the fibro three-bedders from the original estate often sit on plainer, less-improved clay than the later brick-veneer infill, so kikuyu and buffalo tend to need gypsum and aeration sooner to keep them healthy. We treat each yard on what the soil's actually doing rather than assuming.

Being sheltered on the western side of the lake below the escarpment, Koonawarra gets decent rainfall and humid summers that drive rapid growth from spring through to autumn. A lawn left six weeks or more over that stretch usually needs a proper recovery mow rather than a quick trim.

Yes — hedging, pruning, weeding, garden clean ups, mulching and green waste removal, from $70 a visit. Most Koonawarra customers have the lawn and garden done together in one booking.
