Lawn Mowing in Cornwall
Professional Lawn Care as Part of Expert Garden Maintenance
Lawn mowing forms part of our wider professional garden maintenance in Cornwall, providing structured, horticulturally informed care for private gardens, holiday homes and commercial landscapes.
A healthy, well-managed lawn provides balance within a garden — complementing borders, framing planting schemes and creating functional open space. Achieving this requires more than simply cutting grass. Correct mowing height, timing, soil health and seasonal adjustment are all essential for long-term lawn vitality.
As a professional gardener in Cornwall, Jodi applies RHS-trained horticultural knowledge to ensure lawns remain resilient, green and proportionate within the wider landscape.
The Importance of Correct Mowing Height
Regular mowing at the appropriate height encourages:
Stronger root development
Improved drought tolerance
Reduced moss invasion
Denser, healthier turf
Cutting too short weakens grass, particularly in Cornwall’s coastal winds and increasingly dry summers. Lawn height is therefore adjusted seasonally, protecting plant health rather than prioritising short-term appearance.
Mulching for Soil Health & Sustainability
Where suitable, mulching mowers are used to finely return clippings back into the lawn surface.
Benefits include:
Natural nutrient recycling
Reduced need for synthetic fertilisers
Improved soil biology through earthworm activity
Increased moisture retention during dry periods
Mulching is not always appropriate in every situation, but when conditions allow, it supports the ecological principles outlined in our ecological and wildlife gardening services.
Clippings can of course be collected where required, particularly in formal or high-visibility settings.
Lawn Mowing for Contemporary & Established Gardens
Many of the gardens we maintain are contemporary, coastal or architecturally structured. In these settings, lawn care is approached with precision:
Clean edging to paths and borders
Careful strimming where required
Blowing and clearing of hard surfaces
Respect for planting and design lines
Lawn mowing is integrated within broader garden maintenance services in Cornwall, ensuring the lawn works in harmony with shrubs, perennials and structural planting.

Beyond routine mowing, we offer:

Lawn Mowing – Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a lawn be mown in Cornwall?
Growth rates in Cornwall can be vigorous due to mild, wet conditions in spring and autumn. During peak growth, weekly mowing is often appropriate, reducing in frequency during dry periods. As part of our professional garden maintenance in Cornwall, mowing schedules are adjusted seasonally to protect turf health.
What height should grass be cut?
Cutting height depends on the lawn’s use and exposure. Contemporary or architectural gardens often benefit from a slightly higher cut to maintain density and drought resilience. Cutting too short weakens grass and encourages moss.
Do you offer lawn mowing as a standalone service?
Lawn mowing is typically provided as part of a broader maintenance programme. This ensures lawns remain proportionate to planting schemes and receive appropriate seasonal care rather than reactive cutting.
Do you use chemicals on lawns?
We prioritise soil health and ecological balance. Treatments are used sparingly and responsibly, aligned with the principles outlined in our ecological and wildlife gardening services.
