Lawn mowing in Sunshine West
Sunshine West started as the Glengala estate in the mid-1920s and had streets running west to Fitzgerald Road by 1951, but most of what stands here is post-war, with the fast growth coming through the 1970s and 80s.

Before you list: three things worth telling a mower about a Sunshine West lawn
- In a unit at the back of an old block, name which lawn is yours and whether the driveway is shared.
- After heavy rain, let the ground dry a few days before it is cut.
- Include the strip in the listing - it is a separate patch of grass from the front lawn.
Sunshine West lawn mowing questions
How much does lawn mowing cost in Sunshine West?+
The guide for 180 m² of lawn is $100-$145 each time out. A fortnightly round through spring is priced under a one-off catch-up, and if the strip is to be done too, list it - it is a separate patch of grass from the front lawn.
Whose responsibility is the nature strip in Sunshine West?+
The resident's. Brimbank relies on the established expectation that residents mow, weed and maintain the strip; report one blocking a footpath or a sightline and it gets priority.
Why does my lawn go hard in February?+
Basalt clay. It holds water all winter and sets like concrete in a dry summer. Mowing higher keeps the soil shaded, and aerating in spring does more good than fertiliser does in January.
About Sunshine West
Housing and industry share this suburb - residential streets back onto working sites, the Australia Post parcel facility among them. The lawns on the post-war blocks are established kikuyu and couch on basalt clay, and grass like that is tough and quick: it comes back thick in October after a wet winter, and goes hard and dormant in February.
Neither state needs rescuing. The February one wants a higher cut and a deep soak rather than a nightly sprinkle; the October one wants a fortnightly cut, because a monthly booking through spring costs more in the end than the fortnightly one it was meant to save on. Ainsworth, Buckingham and Norm Talintyre reserves and the linear park along Kororoit Creek are the open space.
Sunshine West is City of Brimbank, which runs no nature-strip mowing round and relies on residents to mow, weed and keep the strip clear of hazards; its food-and-garden bin, the one with the bright green lid, is an opt-in service with an annual fee. Sunshine Heights Primary opened in 1955, the Catholic primary in 1956 and the high school in 1961.
