How this calculator works
Every figure in this calculator is the one published in the cost table on our grass cutting guide. Pick the option that matches your job and the calculator returns that published range, adjusted for your region - it does not model anything the guide does not already say.
That is deliberate. A calculator whose rates drift from the page it sits under is worse than no calculator, because two numbers on the same site disagree.
What it cannot know: access, the condition of what is already there, and anything structural. Those are what separate three real quotes from each other.

£20–£40 per visit for a typical lawn including edges and clippings, £15–£25 for small lawns. Fortnightly season contracts work out cheaper per cut.
Fortnightly through the growing season for most lawns, weekly for a fine finish - and monthly, cut high, during drought dormancy.
Long grass is slow: it clogs mowers, needs strimming first and produces multiples of the clippings. An overgrown first cut is priced at £60–£150 as light clearance.
Cutting keeps it tidy; lawn care (feeding, moss, scarifying) keeps it healthy. Many households buy cutting fortnightly and a lawn treatment programme separately - see our lawn care cost guide.
