Lawn Mowing in Blacksmiths
Lawn Mowing in Blacksmiths
Blacksmiths sits between the Swansea Channel and Nine Mile Beach, so lawns cop salty air, sand drift and strong nor’easters. Most front yards favour buffalo for toughness and shade tolerance, while back lawns with full sun often carry kikuyu or couch that thickens fast in spring. We set the mower deck a touch higher on wind-exposed verges to protect colour, then drop slightly for dense growth in sheltered spots so the cut stays even without scalping.
On sandy soils near the dunes, edges can dry and pale quickly; older streets closer to the channel may hold moisture after rain. We alternate cut directions, tidy along concrete and sleeper borders, and trim carefully around beach showers, boat pads and side gates. Every visit finishes with a thorough blow-down so sand is cleared from paths and driveways and the place looks photo-ready.
Getting ready for holiday guests or an inspection? We can switch from mulching to catching for a debris-free finish. Through summer growth bursts we tighten your mowing interval to keep lines sharp and weeds down; in winter we extend the cycle slightly to protect root strength while keeping everything neat and presentable.
From one-off tidy ups to reliable fortnightly runs, we work around surf mornings, school runs and pets—locking gates, sending updates and leaving the yard ready to enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What mowing schedule works best in Blacksmiths?
Spring–summer usually needs weekly or fortnightly cuts for buffalo and kikuyu. In winter, three to four weeks keeps colour while growth slows.
Do you adjust for wind and salt spray?
Yes. We raise cut height on exposed verges, use sharper blades for clean cuts, and recommend feeds to help recovery after windy weeks.
Mulching or catching for sandy blocks?
Mulching returns nutrients and helps moisture retention. We switch to catching after long growth or before inspections for a spotless finish.
Can you attend while we’re at work or the beach?
Absolutely. If we have access, we’ll complete the job, secure gates and send confirmation once everything is tidy and safe for pets.
What cut height do you use for buffalo here?
Generally 35–45 mm to protect the leaf and root zone from wind and heat. We adjust by season and exposure to keep colour consistent.
