Berm/Lawn Mowing

Lawn Care Tips

Most people voluntarily mow the berm (lawn) outside their property to keep it clean, tidy and attractive.

We mow the berms in these urban areas:

• Where long grass could create a traffic visibility problem.
• In high profile areas, e.g. entrances to towns.
• On high banks not accessible by hand mowers.
• Where the grass is more than 150mm high. These berms are mown down to 50mm four times per year as publicised.

Note: We will advise you if your berm fits into one of the first three categories.

Can’t mow your berm?

If you are unable to mow your berm you can employ a contractor to do it for you, at your cost.  Look in the yellow pages under lawnmowing services or in the back of your local paper for a contractor.

If you suffer from a permanent disability, you might be eligible for a disability allowance to help pay for mowing your lawns. Please contact WINZ  for more information.
