Lawn Mowing & Hedge Trimming

An overgrown lawn or hedge isn't just untidy — it can quickly become a safety hazard, a source of complaints from neighbours or landlords, or a genuine trip and access risk for anyone with mobility issues. If grass has been left too long, hedges are blocking paths or sightlines, or old equipment has been left half-used and abandoned, the problem needs sorting quickly and safely — not with a risky DIY fix. YWS arranges trusted, right-fit support to get the job done properly, without you having to take on the risk yourself.

Common Issues Customers Face

• Grass grown too long to mow safely — thick, overgrown growth can jam or overload standard mowers and hide uneven ground, holes, or debris.

• Hedges blocking paths, windows, or sightlines — creating trip hazards, restricting access for emergency services, or breaching boundary/legal height rules.

• Overgrowth near power lines or overhead cables — a serious electrical hazard that must never be tackled without a qualified, insured professional.

• Old, faulty, or damaged garden equipment — frayed cables, exposed wiring, or blunt/damaged blades that are unsafe to operate.

• Mobility or health issues preventing safe garden access — steps, slopes, or uneven lawns that make DIY mowing or trimming dangerous.

• No time, tools, or physical ability to keep on top of regular upkeep, leading to a backlog that feels overwhelming to tackle alone.

Safety Notice — Please Read

Do not attempt hedge trimming or mowing near overhead power lines, exposed wiring, or damaged electrical equipment. Contact with live electrics can cause serious injury or death. If you notice frayed cables, sparking equipment, or foliage in contact with power lines, stop immediately, do not touch the equipment, and treat it as an emergency. YWS does not provide DIY electrical guidance — this work must always be carried out by a qualified, insured professional. If you are dealing with an urgent electrical hazard, contact your electricity network operator or emergency services first.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. My hedge is touching a power line — what should I do?

Do not attempt to trim it yourself. Stay clear of the area and contact your electricity network provider or emergency services immediately. Once it's safe, YWS can arrange a qualified professional to deal with the remaining trim.

2. My lawn hasn't been cut in months — is it too overgrown to fix?

No job is too overgrown. YWS arranges support experienced in handling significant catch-up jobs safely, without damaging equipment or the ground beneath.

3. Can someone come out urgently, or only for scheduled visits?

We prioritise urgent enquiries. Get in touch and let us know the situation — we'll work to arrange support as quickly as possible.

4. Is it safe to use my own mower or trimmer if it looks a bit worn?

If a cable, blade, or casing looks damaged, do not use it. Damaged equipment is a common cause of injury. Flag this when you enquire and we'll arrange someone with safe, properly maintained equipment.

5. I have mobility issues and can't manage the garden myself — can YWS still help?

Yes. This is exactly the kind of situation YWS is set up for — arranging reliable support so you don't have to manage physical garden work yourself.

6. Do I need to be home while the work is carried out?

This depends on the arrangement made with your assigned support. We'll confirm all details with you before any work takes place.
