Why this matters

A Big Block Eats Your Weekends

Acreage is the reason people move to this part of the world, and mowing it is the thing that quietly takes over. A ride-on that was fine for the house yard takes most of a Saturday on two acres, and more than that when the spring growth comes through. In a wet year it is every week.

Let it slide and the lawn stops being a lawn. Long grass goes to seed, weeds get a foothold, the edges disappear and the whole property starts to look neglected — which matters whether you live there, rent it out or are getting ready to sell.

What we do

Mowed, Edged and Tidy Before You Notice

Broadlands Contracting mows acreage and large residential properties across the Illawarra, Shoalhaven and Southern Highlands. We run commercial out-front mowers and tractor decks sized to the block, so a property that takes you all day is done in a fraction of the time with a cleaner, more even finish.

Mowing is only part of it. We are qualified horticulturalists, so edges, hedges, garden beds and tree pruning can be rolled into the same visit. Most clients put us on a fortnightly or monthly schedule through the growing season and we adjust it as the weather changes.

How the job runs

Set and Forget Through the Growing Season

One visit to look at the block, and from then on it just gets done.

  1. We look at the property

    We come out, walk the property with you and look at the slope, access, growth and anything that needs working around. Then you get a clear quote with no pressure.

  2. We agree a schedule

    Fortnightly, monthly or as needed — we set a frequency that suits the growth and your budget, and adjust it when the season changes.

  3. We turn up and do it

    Mowed, edged and blown off, with hedges and beds looked after if you want them included. You get the property back looking cared for.

The cost of waiting

Long Grass Is Harder on Everything

Letting a large lawn get away, or mowing it with gear that is too small, tends to mean:

  • Grass seeding and weeds establishing in turf that was clean a month earlier
  • Scalping, uneven cuts and clumping when short lawn gear is pushed through long growth
  • Snakes and fuel load around the house through the warm months
  • A property that looks neglected to neighbours, tenants, buyers or the agent

Slashing

Paddocks, acreage and steep slopes cut with a mulching deck, so the grass is spread evenly and breaks down instead of sitting in windrows.

Tree Pruning

Trees and hedges pruned for health, shape and clearance by qualified horticulturalists, with everything cleaned up afterwards.

Good Questions — Here's What to Know

What size properties do you mow?

Anything from a large suburban block up to rural estates of several acres. The deciding factor is not the size so much as the access and the slope, which is why we look before we quote.

Do you do edging and gardens as well as mowing?

Yes. We are horticulturalists, not just mowing contractors, so edges, hedges, garden beds and tree pruning can all be looked after in the same visit if you want a complete service.

Can you mow steep lawns and banks?

Yes. Slopes are what we are known for. Where a bank is too steep for a mower we can slash it with the tractor on the same visit.

Do you offer regular mowing contracts?

Most acreage clients are on a schedule. We agree a frequency, invoice as we go and adjust the visits with the season so you are not paying for cuts you do not need in winter.
