Is Grass Slashing required in suburban areas?
Slashing is most common in rural areas in paddocks, around building and fence lines. However slashing is also required in suburban environments. Examples would include a vacant house block.
Why Slash Grass?
Slashing of grass is required when the grass is too long and thick for your lawn mower. An average lawn mower, or even a commercial grade lawn mower is not suitable for this tall and thick grass. A lawn mower does not have the clearance, power or capability in such environments. It would also be a very time consuming job.
Slashing of grass is often required to maintain a block of land, deter snakes and other animals from the block, fire presentation and often a local council requirement. This requirement is true in Bayside and Kingston councils (which include Hampton, Brighton, Cheltenham, Parkdale, etc)
What is Grass Slashing?
Grass slashing is a method of using appropriate machinery and tools to cut and drop the grass. Common grass slashing methods are with the use of whipper snippers, ride on lawn mowers and tractors with a tractor slasher. At Argus Mowing, we utilise whipper snippers and ride on lawn mowers. That means we specialise in grass slashing of blocks of land around the size of a normal house block or 2.
Benefits of Grass Slashing
There are several benefits for slashing grass. These are similar to what you would mow your lawn and maintain your property. Common benefits include:
- Reduced weed growth
- Assisting with grass re-growth
- Maintaining well pastured grass areas
- Fire prevention
- Mulching and leaving the organic matter on the ground
- Deterring pests and snakes
- Comply with council regulations
- Maintain a tidy block of land.
Slashing of grass is important for ensuring adequate fire prevention measures. The Australian summer will dry out grass quickly and it can become a danger fire hazard resulting in grass fires which would threaten surrounding properties.
