Professional Lawn Mowing in Christchurch, Rolleston & Selwyn
Sims Mowing Group is an owner-operated lawn care service based in Rolleston, mowing residential and small commercial properties across Christchurch and Selwyn. Every visit is about dependable scheduling, clean edges and a property left tidy — with the scope and price agreed before we start.
A regular mowing schedule keeps a property consistently presentable instead of swinging between tidy and overgrown. Grass is cut at a healthier height, clippings stay manageable, and the lawn never reaches the point where recovery work and extra cost are needed.
We agree a rhythm that suits your lawn and the season — commonly weekly or fortnightly through peak growth and less often over the cooler months — and keep to it, with clear communication if weather moves a visit.
Consistent presentation across the whole season
Avoids costly catch-up and recovery cuts
Schedule adjusted as growth slows or accelerates
One-Off Mowing
One-Off Lawn Mowing
One-off mowing is available and is often used for rental turnovers, pre-sale presentation, holiday cover or a single tidy-up before an event.
Availability depends on the condition of the lawn, site access and where the job fits in the current schedule. If the lawn is very long or difficult to access, we will say so when quoting rather than turning up and improvising.
Finish
Edging and Line Trimming
The mow is only part of the result. Edging along paths, driveways, fence lines and garden borders, plus line trimming around accessible obstacles, is what makes a lawn read as cared for rather than simply cut.
Hard surfaces are blown down before we leave so paths and driveways are not left covered in clippings.
Clippings
Grass Clipping Management
How clippings are handled depends on the service agreed and the conditions on the day. In many cases clippings are mulched back into the lawn or left in a tidy state on site, which suits normal growth and shorter cuts.
Where growth is heavy, the grass is wet, or you would prefer clippings taken away, green-waste removal can be arranged as part of the quote. We confirm this up front rather than assuming.

Our Work
Real Work, Not Stock Photos
We only publish photographs of lawns we have actually mowed. A gallery of recent Christchurch and Selwyn work is being built and will be added to this page as those photos are collected.
In the meantime, the quickest way to see the standard is to talk to Simon about your property, or read what customers have said on our Google profile.

Common Problems
Problems We Solve
Grass getting away over spring
A scheduled service keeps peak-season growth under control instead of chasing it.
Untidy edges spoiling a good lawn
Edging and trimming each visit sharpen the whole property, not just the grass.
Rentals needing reliable upkeep
Landlords and managers get consistent maintenance without having to follow up.
No time or equipment for the job
Larger sections, slopes and awkward access are handled with the right gear.
Preparing a property for sale

Inconsistent past contractors
One owner-operator, one standard, and a direct line if something needs adjusting.
Overgrown Lawns
Overgrown and Neglected Lawns
Very long, wet, dense or long-neglected grass is a different job to routine mowing. It usually cannot be cut to a finished height in one pass without damaging the lawn or the equipment.
Where a lawn needs recovery, we quote that work separately from ongoing maintenance so you can see exactly what the catch-up costs and what regular visits would cost afterwards.
An initial recovery cut, often at a higher setting first
Multiple passes to bring the lawn down safely over one or more visits
Green-waste handling for the volume an overgrown lawn produces
A separate clean-up price before regular maintenance begins
Honest advice if the lawn needs more than mowing to come right

Pricing Guidance
What Affects Lawn Mowing Pricing
Every property is quoted individually, because two lawns of the same size can be very different jobs. We give you the price before the work starts.
Lawn size and the total area to be mown
Current grass length and how dense the growth is
How often the lawn is mown — regular visits are more efficient than one-offs
Site access, including gates, steps and how far equipment must be carried
Slope and any areas that need extra care or different equipment
Obstacles such as trees, garden beds, play equipment and furniture
How much edging and line trimming the property needs
Whether clippings are managed on site or removed as green waste
Travel and location within Christchurch and Selwyn
Whether the lawn needs an initial recovery cut before regular maintenance

Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Through the Canterbury growing season most lawns do best mown weekly to fortnightly, then less often as growth slows over autumn and winter. The right frequency depends on lawn type, irrigation, shade and the finish you want, and we will suggest a schedule when we quote.
