Neglected lawns happen. Life gets busy, the mower’s buried in the shed, and suddenly your yard looks like a scene from Jumanji. It might seem harmless, but leaving your lawn to overgrow can cost you more than just curb appeal.

Here’s what can really happen when you let it go—and how to get things back under control, fast.

What It’s Really Costing You

1. Weed Takeover

A patchy, overgrown lawn is an open invitation for invasive weeds to move in. The longer they’re left, the harder they are to remove.

2. Lawn Damage

Long grass suffocates healthy turf underneath, leaving it brown, patchy, and expensive to repair later.

3. Pest Problems

Overgrown lawns attract unwanted guests—think mozzies, fleas, and creepy crawlies that thrive in damp, dense areas.

4. Strata or Council Warnings

If you're in a strata property or certain council areas, an unkempt lawn can land you with a warning (or a fine).
