Ride-on and push mowing at a fixed price per cut.
Part of our acreage and ride-on mowing service across Moreton Bay and Somerset. This page covers what is different about Kilcoy.
Lawn mowing in Kilcoy and the Somerset valleys
Kilcoy is two jobs. In town, around Mary Street, Hope Street and the showgrounds, the blocks are older, flat and generous, 800 to 1,200 square metres with kikuyu or couch lawns and enough side access for a ride-on. Outside town it is acreage: lifestyle blocks of one to ten hectares along the D'Aguilar Highway, Kilcoy–Murgon Road, Kilcoy–Beerwah Road and out towards Jimna, with house yards, dams, gullies and paddocks that need a commercial zero-turn and someone who knows where the soft ground is.
The Somerset climate matters too. Kilcoy is hotter in summer and much colder in winter than the coast, with proper frosts from June to August that stop the grass dead. Winter cuts are infrequent and mostly a tidy; summer cuts after storm rain need to be every two to three weeks or the kikuyu gets away. We set the round to that rhythm rather than a coastal one.
Somerset Dam, Hazeldean and the lake properties
Around Somerset Dam, Hazeldean and Villeneuve the properties are often holiday houses, bed-and-breakfasts and weekenders whose owners are not there between visits. We have been the groundsman for a 3.74 acre B&B on the dam side for years, mowing two dwellings, a boat shed, a gully and the surrounds of two dams, and the same approach applies to any lake property: a set day, the whole block finished, gates left as found, and a photo sent when we leave.
What is included in a Kilcoy mowing visit
Zero-turn mowing of open ground and paddocks at the right height for the season, push mowing and line trimming around the house, sheds, tanks and fence lines, dam banks and gullies where they are safe and dry, mulch-mowing so clippings feed the grass, and a blow-down of the entertaining area and paths. Slashing, hedge trimming, garden bed mulching and minor tree work are quoted alongside.
Why Kilcoy chooses Green Estates
A regular round means you are not paying for a special trip over the range every time. Fixed price per cut, the same crew each visit, no contract, and an operator who understands frost, dams and kikuyu the way a coastal mower does not. Kilcoy anchors our Somerset round with Esk, Toogoolawah and Woodford.
Frequently asked questions about lawn mowing in Kilcoy
Do you really come to Kilcoy from Wamuran?
Yes, on a regular Somerset round rather than as a one-off trip, which is what keeps the fixed price per cut reasonable. Kilcoy, Somerset Dam, Hazeldean, Villeneuve and the properties along the D'Aguilar Highway are on the round, along with Woodford, Esk and Toogoolawah.
How much does acreage mowing cost around Kilcoy?
Acreage is priced on the area actually cut, the terrain and how often we visit, as one fixed price per cut. A block on a regular schedule costs less per visit than an occasional knockdown, because the kikuyu never gets long. We usually drive past first so the price is right the first time.
How often should acreage be mowed in the Somerset region?
Every two to three weeks from October to March after storm rain, stretching to five or six weeks from May to August when Kilcoy's frosts stop growth almost completely. Dam banks and gullies are mowed when dry and skipped when wet, so they may run on a longer cycle than the flat ground.
Do you look after holiday houses and B&Bs near Somerset Dam?
Yes. We have been the groundsman for a 3.74 acre bed-and-breakfast on the dam for years, and we look after weekenders and holiday houses around Somerset Dam, Hazeldean and Villeneuve for owners who are not there between visits. Set day, whole block finished, photo sent when we leave.
