Claim a founding seatBefore you list: three things worth telling a mower about a McKinnon lawn
- A 1930s bungalow's side path can be narrow at the gate; its width decides the machine.
- Backing onto the Elster Creek line, mention how the rear lawn drains and whether the boundary is fenced.
- Glen Eira's lime-green bin is emptied weekly, so pick whether clippings go in it or leave with the mower.
McKinnon lawn mowing questions
How much does lawn mowing cost in McKinnon?+
The model prices a McKinnon lawn of 180 m² at $110-$160 every time it is cut. Whatever the aerial measures on your block is what the mower bids on, so a 1930s lot with a deep back lawn quotes higher and an apartment block's shared strip lower.
What does the council expect of my nature strip in McKinnon?+
Glen Eira expects the owner to mow it, weed it, edge it and keep it safe and free of rubbish. The council plants and prunes the street trees and would rather residents left them alone. A $50 Nature Strip Planting Permit comes before any planting on the strip.
Is there anything to know about lawns near Elster Creek in McKinnon?+
The creek is the southern boundary. That does not say how your block drains. If the back lawn sits in water after rain, put it on the listing; it changes the machine.
About McKinnon
Then it filled. The population reached 1,270 by 1933, a 1927 directory already listed a soldiers' hall, a State Savings Bank and a dozen shops, and most of the houses in the McKinnon area are 1930s California bungalows. The post office had opened on 9 March 1915 as Manchester Road, the old name of the eastern part of McKinnon Road from Jasper Road, and the area was part of Bentleigh until 1941. More building came after the war and apartments have gone in since the early 2000s. Say whether yours has grass at the street, behind the house, or both.
The suburb is 1.5 km² at about 33 m, between Murray Road and Lewis and Blackshaw Streets on the north, Tucker Road on the east, Thomas Street on the west, and a line of streets and the Elster Creek on the south. Wattle Grove Park, Allnutt Park and Joyce Park are the open ground. The old vineyard soil is a fact about the district; tell the mower whether your lawn sets hard by February and whether the back lawn near the creek stays soft in winter. The McKinnon Road shops sit by the station on the Frankston line, and bus 626 runs through.
McKinnon is City of Glen Eira. Under its rules the strip beside a property is the owner's to mow, weed and edge, and the owner keeps it safe and clear of rubbish; the street trees are council property, and the council alone plants, prunes and removes them. Any planting there needs the council's $50 permit first, or it may be pulled out at the owner's expense. The weekly lime-green FOGO bin comes with the standard service, and Glen Eira Town Hall has a free kitchen caddy for anyone who asks.
