Reliable fortnightly lawn mowing, edging and site tidy from your trusted local team. Free quotes, no contracts, same week availability.
The blade goes up in summer heat, never scalped. In a Sevenoaks summer with the chalk-clay border soils common across TN13 and TN14, scalping is one of the fastest ways to stress a lawn — chalk soils dry out fast in dry spells. We mow to leave the grass strong, not just short.
Every visit, not just the first. Clean edges are what separate a looked-after lawn from one that's just been mowed. We use proper edging shears, not a strimmer flail.
We collect every clipping and take it away. Your lawn isn't left with rows of cut grass to rot into thatch, and your patio isn't covered in green dust.
We blow down all hard surfaces after the cut — driveway, paths, patio, decking. The garden is left ready to use, not ready for sweeping.
Sevenoaks sits on the chalk and clay border of the North Downs. Lawns in TN13 and the southern parts of town tend to drain well over chalk. Lawns further north toward Otford and Kemsing often sit on heavier clay that holds water through winter and bakes hard in summer. We mow according to what's underneath, not just what's on top.
The microclimate matters too. Sevenoaks gets meaningful frost into April most years, and the growing season starts later than it does in central London. We don't start the regular mowing run until the soil's actually warm — usually mid-March, sometimes early April after a cold spring. Cutting too early stresses grass that hasn't woken up yet — the RHS recommends waiting until soil temperature reaches around 6°C before the first cut.In summer, the chalk-facing slopes around Knole, Sevenoaks Weald, and the Vine area dry out faster than the rest of town.
We raise the blade in July and August on these gardens, and we never mow on consecutive days of 28°C+ heat. It's a small thing that protects your lawn through the hardest weeks of the year.Kent gardens also see their share of leatherjackets and chafer grubs, particularly in lawns that haven't been scarified for a few seasons. If we spot signs — yellowing patches, soft turf, increased bird activity — we'll flag it during a visit and recommend treatment before it spreads.If you've inherited a tired lawn from a previous owner, or one that's never quite recovered from a wet winter, we offer scarification, aeration, top-dressing and full lawn renovation as well as regular mowing. The same crew handles everything — we don't subcontract.
Transparent pricing. The figures below are starting points based on lawn size — every
