Overgrown Grass Cutting Melbourne

Backyard Cleanup helps Melbourne homeowners, tenants, landlords, real estate agents and property managers cut down overgrown grass, tall grass and long grass as part of one-off garden clean ups and messy yard clean-ups.

If your backyard is too overgrown to mow, the grass has taken over, or the property has been left too long, we can help get it back under control.

We handle long grass mowing, tall grass cutting, overgrown lawn clean ups, unkempt lawn clean ups, neglected rental yards, fence lines, side paths, vacant blocks and green waste removal.

Long Grass Mowing & Tall Grass Cutting

Standard lawn mowing is not always enough when grass has grown too high. Long grass can hide rubbish, sticks, branches, uneven ground, holes, pests, old toys, metal, bricks and other hazards.

Backyard Cleanup can cut down long grass using suitable equipment for the condition of the yard. Depending on the job, this may include brush cutting, whipper snipping, mowing, raking and green waste removal.

We regularly help with:

  • Overgrown grass cutting
  • Tall grass cutting
  • Long grass mowing
  • Overgrown lawn mowing
  • Overgrown lawn clean ups
  • Unkempt lawn clean ups
  • Neglected backyard grass

  • Side path and access clearing

Grass Slashing, Brush Cutting & Long Grass Clean Ups

Some overgrown lawns need more than a standard mower. When grass is very long, thick or uneven, the area may need brush cutting, whipper snipping or grass slashing before it can be tidied properly.

Backyard Cleanup can help with grass slashing Melbourne, brush cutting Melbourne, long grass clean ups, overgrown yard clean ups, neglected rental yard clean ups, side access clearing and vacant block grass cutting where suitable.

This service is ideal when you need more than regular lawn mowing, but do not need a large-scale tractor slashing job.

We focus on getting the outdoor area back under control, including cutting down the grass and removing suitable green waste.
