A cut lawn every week in Newcastle, on the same day.

What the weekly visit is

The same day every week, from May 1 to November 1, twenty six visits. The lawn is cut, the edges are trimmed, the hard surfaces are blown clear and nothing is left on the driveway or in the beds. You do not need to be home and you do not need to move anything.

What it costs in Newcastle

Weekly mowing bought on its own, with no membership, starts at $75 a cut plus HST, and that is a floor rather than a ceiling. Twenty six cuts at that floor is $1,950 for mowing and nothing else.

Silver is $129 a month plus HST, which is $1,548 for the year, and covers the weekly cut and both cleanups. Gold is $189 a month, $2,268 for the year, and adds the driveway plowed after every storm from the measured 3 cm trigger. Three hundred and eighteen dollars is the difference between the two, and it buys the entire winter.

Almost nobody in Durham Region publishes a weekly mowing price at all, which is why that comparison is hard to make anywhere else.

Newcastle and Orono

Newcastle sits at the east end of the route, which in practice means it is the end of the run in summer and part of the near end in winter. There is one property on the route in Newcastle as of October 13, 2026, on Kurve Inn Road. Orono is covered from the same run.

The cutting height, because it decides most of the rest

We cut high. On Ontario clay a lawn cut short in July is a lawn growing crabgrass in August, because the soil surface gets the light it needs to germinate. Cutting high shades it out, keeps the root system deeper and makes the lawn survive a dry spell that would otherwise brown it off. It is the single setting that changes the most and it costs nothing.

What happens when it does not rain

In a genuine drought we skip rather than cut, and we tell you why. Cutting a dormant lawn damages it, and a contractor who mows on schedule through August because the schedule says so is charging you to hurt your grass.
