When to mow in Charles Darwin
| Season | Months | Frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | Sep – Nov | Weekly to fortnightly | Growth accelerates fast — the first cut of the season is often the most expensive. |
| Summer | Dec – Feb | Weekly | Peak growth. Keeping to a schedule avoids long-grass surcharges. |
| Autumn | Mar – May | Fortnightly | Growth eases off; a good time to switch from weekly to fortnightly visits. |
| Winter | Jun – Aug | Fortnightly to monthly | Warm-season grasses go semi-dormant, so most households pause or stretch out visits. |
Green waste and council bins
Darwin-area councils collect green waste through kerbside pick-ups rather than a weekly bin, so wet-season clippings are usually taken away by the mower.
