Lawn mowing in Burnside Heights
Burnside Heights was built in the 1990s by three developers working separate estates - VicUrban at Tenterfield, Triton Property Group at Taylors Park and Sunlands at Arbour on the Park - and was renamed from Burnside to set it apart from the older part.

Claim a founding seatBefore you list: three things worth telling a mower about a Burnside Heights lawn
- After frost the lawn goes straw-coloured and stops growing. Move to monthly over winter and save.
- Give the street name when you list. The three original estates were not built to one plan.
- If the block falls away at the back, tell the mower how steeply.
Burnside Heights lawn mowing questions
How much does lawn mowing cost in Burnside Heights?+
The $100-$145 range covers a 180 m² lawn. A monthly winter tidy on dormant grass is a smaller job than a spring cut, and a lawn that has been left through October is quoted as a first cut, so say when it was last done.
Is the nature strip mine to look after?+
Yes. Melton's position is that the council does not mow or water nature strips, and the resident maintains the strip abutting their property, including keeping it level and free of trip hazards.
Should I keep mowing through winter?+
Less often. Warm-season grass slows right down after the first frosts, so a monthly tidy through June and July is usually enough, then back to fortnightly when it starts moving in September.
About Burnside Heights
Three developers built Burnside Heights on three separate estates - Tenterfield, Taylors Park and Arbour on the Park - to three sets of plans, which is why a quote here comes off the aerial measurement of your own lawn rather than off a suburb average. Kororoit Creek forms the southern boundary, the suburb has an AFL and cricket oval, and about 6,400 people live here.
The lawns are 1990s turf that has had thirty years to root into western clay, so they behave like established lawns: thick growth through spring, then straw colour and a full stop after the first frosts. Warm-season grass barely moves in June and July, so a monthly tidy is enough through the cold months, with a fortnightly round from September to keep spring in hand.
Burnside Heights is City of Melton, and the council puts the strip on the resident: regular mowing, weeding, litter and levelling the surface so it is not a trip hazard. It does not mow or water nature strips, and anything other than grass on one needs a landscaping application first. Clippings go out in the green-lid FOGO bin, which Melton empties fortnightly on the week recycling is not collected, at no extra charge.
