Absolutely fantastic service. The team transformed our lawn in no time at all, and the edging was completed with incredible precision. The attention to detail exceeded our expectations, and the finished result looks outstanding.
Fox Mowing NSW looks after Tallong's village lawns and the stud farms and lifestyle blocks around it, from the streets near the heritage railway station out toward the lookouts above the Shoalhaven Gorge.
Tallong is the biggest of the villages on this side of Goulburn, with a compact centre of houses on standard-to-generous blocks around the railway station — the same heritage-listed station that’s been running since 1869. At 620m elevation on the Southern Highlands and Southern Tablelands border, it gets solid winter frosts that slow the cool season right down.
The sandstone-country soils here, east of the Great Dividing Range, are shallower and less fertile than the grazing loams further west, so cool-season lawn varieties generally do better than kikuyu or buffalo. We work Tallong (2579) as part of the Goulburn operator run, covering the village blocks around the station as well as the stud farms and acreage on the outskirts toward Morton National Park.

Village lawns kept tidy through the growing months, with edges cut neatly around paths and fences.
Fence lines, sheds and the corners near the old station precinct that a mower can’t reach cleanly.
A block left through a wet stretch gets multiple passes and proper catcher work to bring it back under control.
Clippings caught and carted, paths and driveways blown down for a finished result.
Ride-on and slashing gear for the larger stud and lifestyle properties on Tallong’s outskirts.
Scheduled visits for landlords and holiday property owners around the village, done to a set calendar.
Hedge trimming, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups and green waste removal from $70 a visit, whether it’s a cottage garden near the station or the entrance to a bigger rural property.
The shallower sandstone soils here dry out fast once the frost breaks and the sun gets to them, so a mulch top-up ahead of the warmer months makes a real difference to how the beds hold up. We can fold the garden work into the same visit as the mow, one operator covering the lot.

Spring is the main event in Tallong — the cool-season grass around the village and the stud paddocks on the fringe both put on real growth once the worst of the frost has passed. Autumn brings a second, shorter flush before winter settles in and mowing eases right back.
We work the wider Tallong district as part of the Goulburn operator run, taking in the village and the properties toward Marulan, Bungonia and Wingello. If you’re just outside that patch, ask and we’ll sort a local operator.
