Residential Mowing on Sumner sections
Sandy coastal soil drains fast, so these lawns brown off quicker in a dry summer; we lift the cutting height in the hot months to keep them green. Salt wind also burns exposed edges, so growth is slower on the seaward side.
Between Cave Rock and Scarborough Hill, sections take the full force of easterly sea breezes, and sand blows into lawns and beds after a storm.
Sandy eastern soils and cool sea breezes keep lawns growing later into summer, but they dry out within days in a heatwave.
We cover all of Sumner 8081, including around Sumner Beach, Sumner Village.
Most coastal sections are standard-sized; exposed or steep cliff-top sections are quoted individually. See the full residential mowing service for what every visit includes.
