What We Do

Four jobs, done properly.

Lawns, hedges, beds and overgrown sections. On a regular run or as a one-off, and the clippings never stay behind.

Most booked

Lawn Mowing

Cut, edged and cleaned up in one visit. Catcher stays on, so you are not left with rows of clippings baking on the lawn, and the edges get done properly rather than whipped at on the way past.

  • Fortnightly, monthly or one-off
  • Edges and paths blown down after
  • No contract, cancel any time

Hedge Trimming & Edging

Hedges shaped and levelled rather than just shortened, and lawn edges cut back off the paths and drive so the whole section reads tidy. Every trimming gets raked up and taken with us.

  • Shaped and levelled, not just topped
  • Edges cut back off paths and drives
  • All trimmings raked up and removed

Garden Maintenance

Weeding, bed tidying, pruning and the general upkeep that keeps a section from slowly getting away on you. Book it alongside the mowing run and the whole place stays on top of itself.

  • Weeding and bed tidying
  • Pruning and shrub shaping
  • Add it to your mowing run

Section Tidy-Ups

Grass past your knees, weeds through the beds, a rental between tenants. Overgrown sections get cut back, raked out and carted away, so you get the place back in one visit instead of losing a weekend to it.

  • Long grass and overgrown sections
  • Rentals and pre-sale tidy-ups
  • Everything carted away, not bagged up

Why Choose Us

We turn up. We get it cut.

Local Christchurch Team

We live and work here. Same crew on your lawn each visit, so they learn the section — where the sprinkler head is, which gate sticks, how short you like it.

Same Crew, Every Visit

No rotating roster of strangers and no gear left running while someone works out where the edges are. The people who cut it last time cut it this time.

Fair, Upfront Pricing

You get a price per cut before we start, not an hourly rate you have to keep an eye on. No contract, no cancellation fee, and no charge for the drive.

Clippings Leave With Us

Catcher on, edges blown down, and every clipping and trimming goes in the trailer. Nothing bagged up by the bin for you to sort out later.

The Process

Three steps and it's sorted.

1

Request a Quote

Fill in the form — takes 90 seconds. Tell us roughly how big the section is and whether you want a regular run or a one-off. A photo helps but isn't essential.

2

We Price & Book It

You get a fixed price per cut back fast, plus a day that suits. You don't need to be home — just leave the gate unlocked.

3

We Mow and Tidy

Cut, edged, blown down and loaded up. You come home to a lawn that looks like someone who cares about lawns did it.

The Difference We Make

Drag the slider. Same lawn, same day.

No filters, no different angle, no "after" shot taken in better light. Just an afternoon with the mower.

About Us

Lawns first, everything after.

The Mowing Mates started with one trailer and a handful of regular lawns around Christchurch. Word got round, the run filled up, and it turned into a proper business without ever needing to advertise.

Same crew, same Christchurch focus, same way of working across all the Mates businesses — you get a straight price, we turn up when we said we would, and the job's done properly rather than quickly.

We're not a franchise and we're not a call centre. We handle your quote and booking directly, and the work is carried out by a trusted local crew held to the standards on this page.

Our promise to you

  • You get a straight price before we start — no surprises at the end.

  • If we say 9am, it happens at 9am.

  • The same crew each visit, so nobody has to be told where the gate is twice.

  • Edges blown down, gates shut, and every clipping taken away with us.

Frequently Asked Questions

The things people usually want to know before booking a lawn. If your question isn't here, just ask — we'd rather answer it than have you guess.

Most standard residential lawns in Christchurch sit between $45 and $80 a cut, depending on size, access and how much edging there is. Overgrown sections and first cuts cost more because they take longer and make far more waste. You get a fixed price before we start, not an hourly rate you have to watch.
Yes, on every job. Clippings, hedge trimmings and weeds all leave with us and go to a green waste facility. We don't bag them up and leave them by your bin for you to deal with.
Through a Christchurch spring and summer, most lawns want cutting every one to two weeks. Growth slows right down over winter and monthly is usually plenty. We'll suggest a run that suits your lawn rather than selling you more cuts than it needs.
No. As long as we can get to the lawn and any gates are unlocked, you don't need to be there. We'll let you know when the job is done, and gates get closed behind us every time.
Yes. Overgrown sections, rentals between tenants and places that have been left a while are a big part of what we do. Long grass is quoted separately from a standard cut because it takes longer and makes a lot more waste, but we'll give you that price up front.
Of course. Plenty of our work is one-off: before an open home, after a holiday, or when a section has got away on someone. There's no contract and no obligation to book again.
All of Christchurch, including Halswell, Cashmere, Riccarton, Papanui, Merivale, St Albans, Fendalton, Spreydon, Sumner and everywhere in between. If you're in the metro area, we can get to you.
