How it works

Three steps to a tidy section

  1. Get in touch

    Call, text, email or use the form. Tell Richard where you are and what needs doing.

  2. Richard quotes it

    He'll come and look, then give you a fair price. Free, no obligation, no pressure.

  3. Job done

    A regular round that just happens, or a one-off tidy-up done properly with the waste taken away.

Questions

Things people ask before they call

Do you do regular lawn mowing in Tawa?

Yes. Most of Richard's customers are on a regular round, weekly, fortnightly or monthly depending on the season and how fast the grass grows. If the lawn has got away on you he'll bring it back under control on the first visit, then keep it that way.

What areas do you cover?

RNH Lawn Care & Services is based in Tawa and works north and south of it: Linden, Grenada Village, Churton Park, Johnsonville, Newlands, Khandallah, Ngaio and Karori on the Wellington side, and Porirua, Whitby, Camborne and Plimmerton to the north. Close by but not on the list? Get in touch and Richard will let you know.

Is it just Richard, or a crew?

It's Richard. He quotes the job, does the work and takes the green waste away himself. The person you message is the person who turns up, and he'll answer calls and messages as soon as he can. If he's on the mower, leave a message and he'll ring back.

Do you take the clippings and green waste away?

Yes. Richard mulches lawn clippings where he can, which puts the goodness back into the lawn, and anything that needs to go (hedge trimmings, weeds, a pile you already have) goes on the trailer and away.

Can you do a one-off clean-up?

Yes. A one-off tidy-up before you sell, rent a place out or have people round is common work. Lawn, edges, gardens, hedges and the green waste gone in one visit. Regular or one-off, it's the same standard.

How do I get a quote?
