Will WINZ Pay for Lawn Mowing?

If you’re unable to maintain your lawn due to health or disability-related reasons, you might be wondering: Will WINZ pay for lawn mowing? The good news is that in many cases, yes — Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ) can help cover lawn mowing services through the Disability Allowance.

What Is the Disability Allowance?

The Disability Allowance is a weekly payment from WINZ to help people with ongoing health conditions or disabilities cover additional costs. One of these costs may include regular lawn mowing and garden maintenance if your condition prevents you from doing the work yourself.

Who Can Get Help With Lawn Mowing?

You may be eligible for help with lawn mowing through the Disability Allowance if:

  • You have a disability or long-term health condition that is likely to last six months or more
  • Your doctor confirms that your condition prevents you from safely maintaining your lawn
  • You need to pay someone else to do this work on your behalf

The allowance is not limited to those on a benefit. Even if you’re working, you may still qualify depending on your income and personal circumstances.

How to Apply for Lawn Mowing Support

To apply for the Disability Allowance, you’ll need to fill out a form and provide:

  • A completed medical certificate from your GP confirming your need for support
  • A quote or invoice from a lawn mowing provider outlining the service and cost

If approved, WINZ may contribute towards the cost of regular lawn mowing services—typically on a weekly or fortnightly basis, depending on your needs and your provider’s schedule.

Using a trusted, reliable mowing provider ensures your property remains safe, tidy, and compliant with council regulations. At Lawn Mowing Services Direct, we offer a full range of lawn mowing and garden care options that can be customised to meet your specific needs.
