Typically, lawn mowing in NZ is done fortnightly for 10 months of the year and for winter (July and August) three or four weekly.
Lawn maintenance in New Zealand can vary with colder regions going to a three or four weekly service as early as May due to reduced growth.
Lawn Care Tips
For the best lawn maintenance Mulch your lawn wherever possible. Mulching involves using a lawn mower that finely chops grass clippings and returns them to the lawn. Since grass clippings are good for mulch, this approach is appealing to those looking to nourish and support their lawn’s health naturally.
And If you or your family suffer from Allergies then catching the grass off your lawn is a better option, this also can leave your lawn with a tidier finish.
New grass needs to be mown with a catcher to stop thatching and cut at full height with sharp blades on a weekly basis for the first three month until the roots are well developed.
In winter lift your mow height up a notch or two to create a lush grass bed while the weed growth is dormant. This will help supress weed growth in Spring.
