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 mows Forest Hill's village streets and Defence-family homes around RAAF Base Wagga, with reliable service that fits around posting dates and inspection schedules.
Forest Hill grew up as a village around what’s now RAAF Base Wagga and Wagga Wagga Airport, and that Defence presence still shapes the place — a steady mix of Air Force families, long-term locals and rental turnover as postings come and go. The suburb sits out on the flat eastern plains east of the city, fully inland, with the loam-over-clay duplex soil typical of the wider Riverina.
Forest Hill (2651) is centred on its own shopping centre, and the ground can compact on some of the newer project-home blocks, so a bit of aeration and mulching around the beds goes a long way. We’re used to working around base access and Defence family schedules, not just a standard suburban gate.
Book your free Forest Hill quoteFrom project-home blocks near the shopping centre to Defence rentals close to the airfield, every visit is priced to the job.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly cuts with edges trimmed along paths and fences, height adjusted up once summer sets in.
Fence lines and the tight spots around sheds and carports, finished by hand.
A lawn left through a posting or a long absence gets brought back in stages rather than scalped in one hit.
Clippings caught, driveways and paths blown down, so the block looks properly finished.
Regular, reliable mowing that suits rental homes and the schedules of families posted in and out of the base.
Timed to real estate and Defence Housing inspections, so the lawn’s right when it needs to be.
Alongside the mow, our Forest Hill operators handle hedging, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal, from $70 a visit.
The duplex soil out here can set firm on newer blocks, so a proper mulch layer through spring helps garden beds hold moisture into the dry months. It’s a handy service for end-of-lease clean ups too, given how many Forest Hill homes turn over with Defence postings — one operator, one visit, lawn and garden both sorted.

Important: These are Forest Hill starting guide prices. Your final quote depends on lawn size, access, grass height, clipping volume and how often it’s mown.
A base-side rental mown every fortnight is a quick job. One left vacant between postings for a couple of months is a different job — a free look on site means we quote it accurately.
Local operators who understand base access and Defence family schedules, and who turn up when they say they will.
We know the base, the airfield and the streets around the shopping centre, and how the seasons here treat a lawn.
Small maintained lawns from $50, gardening from $70, bigger or overgrown jobs quoted fairly.
Every operator carries full insurance — important for Defence Housing, landlords and homeowners alike.
Edges done, clippings cleared, paths blown down, every time.
We can work around a posting date, an inspection, or a tenancy changeover rather than a fixed suburban routine.

Spring is the busiest stretch out here, with growth strong enough to need a weekly mow on most blocks. Summer heat on the open plains sends the grass dormant and browns it off, and winter brings the frost and morning fog typical of this side of Wagga, slowing growth right down until the spring flush starts building again.
We service Forest Hill and the surrounding areas of Gumly Gumly, Lake Albert, Gregadoo and Ladysmith. If you’re just outside our usual run, ask and we’ll organise a local operator.

Yes — we regularly mow Defence family homes and properties close to the base, and we're used to working around base access, posting dates and inspection timing rather than a fixed suburban routine.
Yes — with Defence postings driving a lot of turnover in Forest Hill, we regularly do end-of-lease and pre-inspection mows timed to the handover date.
It does — the open plains out here get sharper winter frosts and more morning fog than the built-up parts of Wagga, so growth slows right down over winter and mowing drops back to monthly until spring.
