Lawn Mowing & Lawn Care in Newquay & Cornwall
Lawn mowing and grass cutting across Newquay and Cornwall, from Porth, Pentire and Crantock to Truro, St Austell, Wadebridge, Padstow and Perranporth. I offer reliable fortnightly and weekly visits with clean edges, strimming, and a tidy finish as standard on every cut. Cornwall's mild coastal climate means lawns here grow almost year-round, so they benefit from consistent attention rather than the seasonal stop-start you get further up the country. Whether you have a small front lawn, a holiday-let garden, or a larger family lawn, I will keep it looking its best. Prices start from £20 for a small lawn and £30 to £50 for an average-sized garden, with no hidden extras.

The basics, done properly
I keep it simple. Every lawn cut includes mowing, edging, strimming, and a clean blow-down. No upselling, no unnecessary extras. I also offer practical advice on seasonal lawn care when you want it, covering things like feeding schedules, moss treatment, and how to deal with the patchy spots that Cornwall's wet winters can leave behind. The goal is a lawn that looks properly finished, not just mowed.
A consistent cut at the right height for the season. I adjust the blade height throughout the year, cutting higher in summer to help the grass cope with dry spells and lower in spring and autumn to keep things tidy. Lawns in Cornwall grow almost year-round thanks to the mild climate, so regular mowing prevents that overgrown look from creeping in.
Clean edges and strimming around borders, fences, walls, and paths are included with every visit. This is the difference between a lawn that looks mowed and one that looks properly finished. I use a line trimmer for tight spots and a half-moon edger where beds need a crisp boundary.
Quick touch-ups to paths, patios, and borders that keep the surrounding area presentable. I will blow down clippings from hard surfaces and tidy anything that has drifted during the cut so the whole space looks clean when I leave.
I can recommend a seasonal feeding schedule based on your soil type and lawn condition. Cornwall has a mix of sandy coastal soils near Newquay and Perranporth and heavier clay soils inland around Truro and Bodmin. Each responds differently to feed, so getting the timing right matters. I will point you in the right direction without pushing products you do not need.
Cornwall's damp winters mean moss and thatch can build up quickly, especially in shaded areas or lawns near the coast. I will flag problem patches as I see them and suggest practical steps like scarifying, aerating, or adjusting your mowing height. Sorting these issues early saves you a bigger job down the line.
Grass clippings can be collected and removed if you prefer a cleaner finish. Green waste removal is charged at £10 per dumpy bag, and I am a licensed waste carrier so everything is disposed of properly. For most regular cuts the clippings are fine left on the lawn, where they break down and feed the soil naturally.
Choose a rhythm that suits your garden
Most of my lawn care customers around Newquay and north Cornwall go fortnightly from March through to October, then drop to monthly over winter. Weekly visits suit lawns that need a consistently sharp look, while one-off cuts are ideal before guests, viewings, holiday-let changeovers, or when the grass has simply got away from you. I will recommend the right schedule based on your lawn size, access, and how fast it grows.
Best for lawns that need to look sharp at all times, such as front gardens or properties where presentation matters. Weekly mowing keeps growth even and prevents the lawn from ever looking unkempt. Particularly useful during the fast-growing months from April to September.
- Mowing
- Edges and quick tidy
The most popular option across my customers in Cornwall. Fortnightly visits keep the lawn tidy without overdoing it, and the cost stays manageable. I will adjust the schedule seasonally, moving to monthly visits over winter when growth slows down.
- Mowing
- Edges and strimming
Ideal before guests, photos, property viewings, or when the lawn has been left a bit too long between cuts. I will bring it back to a clean height, tidy the edges, and leave it looking presentable. No ongoing commitment needed.
- Cut back to neat
- Clean lines and finish
A thorough tidy at the start of spring or autumn to set the lawn up for the season ahead. This often includes a lower cut to remove winter growth, edging, and practical advice on feeding or treating any bare patches that have appeared.
- General tidy
- Practical advice for next steps
Consistency is what makes lawn care feel effortless. I turn up on the same day each cycle, cut to the right height for the time of year, and leave clean edges every time. If rain shifts the schedule, I will let you know and rebook promptly. For Newquay, Porth, Pentire, St Columb Major, Padstow, Wadebridge and nearby villages, I group visits efficiently so you are not left wondering when the next cut is.
