Lawn mowing in Altona North

Before you list: three things worth telling a mower about a Altona North lawn
- New house on the old Don or Toyota land? Give the month the turf went down; that sets the cut height for its first two summers.
- On the radiating streets, give the nearest cross street off The Circle so the mower finds the right end of a long road.
- Hobsons Bay won't repair a strip, so if yours has a hole or a lifted edge, say so before the first visit.
Altona North lawn mowing questions
How much does lawn mowing cost in Altona North?+
Between $100 and $145 for a 180 m² Altona North lawn in our model. A block with a lawn front and back is usually in range; a courtyard on the converted industrial land quotes under.
Whose job is the nature strip in Altona North?+
The resident's. Hobsons Bay asks you to keep it maintained and free of trip hazards and it does no maintenance or reinstatement of strips. It can go on the same listing as the lawn.
How high should a new lawn on the old factory sites be cut?+
Higher than an established one, around 60-70 mm through its first two summers. New turf has shallow roots, and a high cut with no more than a third of the leaf removed at once keeps it alive through January.
About Altona North
The plan came first and the people second. The Broadway, The Highway (now McIntosh Street) and Marion Street still run out from The Circle, where the shopping centre sits. Gilbertson's abattoir opened in 1955 and ran until 1996. The primary, high and technical schools were built between 1959 and 1965, Altona Gate primary in 1960 and Bayside P-12 at Paisley in 1972. Altona Gate Shopping Centre opened in 1977 with 88 shops. The Mason Street Housing Commission estate followed in 1983.
The suburb is changing shape again. Toyota assembly ceased in 2017, and the Don Smallgoods site, which worked from 1970 to 2011, is among the industrial land being converted to housing since 2018. A lawn on those streets is new turf, and the month it went down matters more to a mower than anything else about it. Kororoit Creek Road is the southern boundary with Altona; Newport is east and Laverton west. Altona Memorial Park and Paisley Park are the open ground, and the Altona Lakes golf course sits on the former briquette depot.
Hobsons Bay makes the resident responsible for the nature strip, kept maintained and free of trip hazards, and does no strip work itself. Food and garden waste goes in the light-green-lid bin fortnightly, 120 L as standard, 240 L for an added annual charge. On a new lawn the first spring's clippings are light and the 120 L copes; an established block with a strip is where the 240 L or a mulched cut earns its place.
