Mowing an established, mixed-terrain suburb

Andersons Bay runs along the harbour edge and up into the hills toward Every Street and Highcliff Road, so properties here range from flat harbourside lawns to steeper, sloping sections. It's also one of Dunedin's older, more established suburbs, which often means bigger gardens, mature trees, and hedges that need more than just a mow to stay tidy. A set mowing cycle keeps the lawn itself under control, and for clients on a regular round, hedges and light tree work are available too — so the whole section stays looked after, not just the grass.

What's included

  • Weekly, fortnightly, or monthly mowing, with a winter slow-down to once a month if needed
  • Bagging or mulching options, suited to your lawn and the season
  • Clear, upfront pricing based on your property and mowing cycle — no hidden fees, and no cost difference for going electric
  • Hedges and light tree work — branching, topping, pruning, and safe removals — available as an add-on, but only for clients already on a regular mowing round with us

What's not included: we don't take on once-off mowing jobs, and we're not a green waste removal service. If that's what you're after, we're not the right call for it — we'd rather say so upfront than take on work we can't do well.

Why electric works well in Andersons Bay

Electric mowing means no fumes and low noise — useful on the steeper, closer-set sections common in Andersons Bay, where a petrol mower's noise carries between properties more than it would on a wide flat lawn. It also means we can get in and out without disturbing a quiet, established neighbourhood.

Some people assume electric mowing costs more than petrol, using the same logic as electric cars costing more than petrol ones. That's not how it works here. We charge the same rates as petrol-powered competitors in Dunedin — going electric doesn't change your quote. Read more on that here.

WINZ-approved mowing in Andersons Bay

We're WINZ approved. If a long-term injury, illness, or disability makes it hard to keep on top of your lawn, regular mowing may be something Work and Income can help fund through the Disability Allowance — worth raising with your GP if that sounds like your situation. See how WINZ-approved mowing works with us.

Common questions from Andersons Bay residents

My section is on a slope — can you still mow it?
Yes, let us know the terrain when you request a quote so we can price the job properly and plan for it.

Do you do one-off mows for a single tidy-up?
No — we only take on regular, ongoing mowing clients. That's what lets us keep our service reliable for the clients we already have.

Can you handle hedges as well as the lawn?
Yes, but only as an add-on for clients already on a regular mowing round — it's not something we offer as a standalone service.

Is electric mowing actually as good as petrol?
Yes. Modern electric mowers cut just as well as petrol — the difference is no fumes, less noise, and no engine servicing costs pushing the price up.

Do you handle green waste removal?
Not as a standalone service. We mostly use your own green waste bin as part of a regular mow.
