Lawn Mowing in Great Shelford
ELawnCare mows lawns on a regular route through Great Shelford, an established residential village about 4 miles south of Cambridge. Gardens here tend to be on the larger side compared with city centre properties, with well-established lawns that respond well to a consistent fortnightly cutting rhythm.
The village sits comfortably within the 8-mile free callout radius, so no travel charge applies. Every mow includes a striped finish at no extra cost, and strimming and edging can be added for £12 per visit.
Mowing is priced at £20 per 100m² with a £40 minimum visit, the same rate as everywhere else on the route.

WHAT IT COSTS
Prices for this work
Larger lawns in Great Shelford
Many properties in Great Shelford have rear gardens substantially larger than a typical Cambridge terrace plot, which means mowing costs scale proportionally with area rather than hitting a flat rate. A 300m² lawn, for example, works out at £60 per visit before any add-ons.
Larger lawns also benefit most visibly from a striped finish, since the longer the run, the sharper the stripes read. This is included on every visit with no extra charge.
Seasonal rhythm for Great Shelford gardens
Fortnightly mowing from March to October covers the growing season, dropping to monthly or pausing entirely over winter when growth stops. Spring is the time to restart regular cuts, and the first mow of the season is at a raised height to avoid shocking grass that has been dormant.
Monthly plans take 10% off recurring mowing work. Most Great Shelford customers settle into a standing fortnightly arrangement rather than booking each visit individually.
