Wai-iti Rd lawn mow

Posted 2 years ago

Mow lawns monthly over summer months. Section is approx 40m by 40m in Highfield with the house and other areas not needing mown covering approx 300m2, so about 1200 to 1300m2 of mainly flat lawn with a small area gently sloping. Will need a ride-on or similar large mower. Grass is currently maintained by ourselves to lowest 1 or 2 settings on our rotary mower, but can be allowed to grow longer.

We live on a lifestyle block in Temuka. We have a large garden which is now overgrown. We require someone with the time and skill to tidy it up and keep it looking nice. Lawns we will do ourselves.
