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.
Cane country on the Richmond River — Fox Mowing NSW keeps Pimlico's house yards and rural blocks cut, edged and tidy on ground that grows grass as readily as it grows cane.
Pimlico is farming country, plain and simple. A few hundred people on working cane farms and scattered rural-residential blocks, with the Richmond River sliding past Pimlico Island — no shops, no town centre, and no shortage of grass. What people need out here is a reliable operator who’ll keep the house yard and the kept ground around it under control while the farm gets on with being a farm.
The flats are the reason everything grows. This is heavy, fertile alluvial loam laid down by the river, the same ground that suits the cane, and it holds moisture long after the rain has stopped. Through a humid Pimlico (2478) summer that means two things: grass that gets away quickly, and ground that can be too boggy to mow for days after a downpour. Good lawn care here is as much about timing as cutting.
Book your free Pimlico quoteWe cut the kept ground — house yards, surrounds and rural blocks — and leave the cane to the people who grow it.
The home yard mown, edged and blown down on a regular cycle, so the place looks kept without anyone finding the weekend for it.
Rural-residential blocks and bigger yards cut with ride-on gear, quoted on site to match the area.
Brushcutting along fence lines, drains, sheds and pump sites — the flat-country edges a mower can’t follow.
When the flats have been too soft to touch and the grass has bolted, we bring it back in stages rather than one brutal scalp.
Caught, carted and gone. On moisture-holding ground, thick clipping mats smother lawn fast, so we don’t leave them.
Mowing, hedges and garden beds handled in one visit by one local operator.
Give a garden this alluvial loam and a subtropical summer and it will not sit still. Our operators handle hedge trimming, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean-ups, mulching and green waste removal across Pimlico’s rural blocks, with basic visits from $70.
Drainage shapes the garden work as much as the mowing. Beds on the flats stay wet, so we prune for airflow through the humid months and keep mulch at a depth that protects the soil without holding a swamp against the stems. It’s simple work done at the right time, which is most of what good gardening is.

Important: These are Pimlico starting guide prices. The final quote reflects lawn area, access, ground conditions and how far the growth has got.
On the flats, the state of the ground matters as much as the size of the yard. We quote after seeing both.
Small locality, no town centre — but the mowing run still comes through on schedule.
Pimlico sits on our regular Ballina-district round along with Wardell and the river country, not on a maybe list.
From $50 for small maintained lawns, $70 for gardening, and honest on-site quotes for the rest.
Full insurance on every visit and every machine, farm gate to back fence.
We know what the loam does after rain and plan the run so your yard is cut when it should be, not churned.
Edges trimmed and hard surfaces blown off, because a farm house yard deserves the same finish as a town one.

The rhythm out here follows the rain. Summer downpours load the flats with moisture and the grass responds within days, so November to April is the busy stretch — short intervals and a close eye on which yards will take a mower. The cooler months ease off without ever really stopping; a monthly cut usually holds a Pimlico yard through winter.
The same operator run covers the neighbouring river and hinterland country — Wardell just across the way, Broadwater downriver, Coolgardie and Meerschaum Vale on the higher ground, and through to Ballina, Alstonville and the coast. One call covers the lot.

The team arrived exactly when scheduled and took great care while trimming our hedges. Their workmanship was excellent, and they left the property spotless after completing the job. We would gladly recommend their services to others.
A truly professional gardening service. We needed a large amount of garden waste removed along with a general tidy-up of the yard. The team worked efficiently, completed everything quickly, and left the area looking neat and refreshed.
We have used several gardening and lawn care companies over the years, and Fox Mowing stands out as one of the best. Their service is reliable, professional, and consistently delivered to a high standard. We regularly recommend them to family and friends.
If you want a lawn that looks healthy, neat, and professionally maintained, these are the people to call. The difference they made to our property was impressive, and we couldn't be happier with the result.
We had been battling persistent weeds for months and tried numerous products from local hardware stores without success. After Fox Mowing treated the problem areas, the results were noticeable almost immediately. Our weed issue is finally under control, and the garden looks much better.
Small maintained lawns start from $50, with standard mow, edge and blow-down visits typically $70–$150+. Gardening visits start from $70, overgrown recovery runs $100–$250+, and larger rural blocks are quoted on site.
Yes — that's exactly how we work on the flats. We look after the house yard, the kept surrounds and any rural-residential lawn area, and the cane stays entirely your business. Most Pimlico bookings are precisely this arrangement.
We schedule around it. Alluvial loam holds water, so after a big downpour we give the flats a few days before bringing a machine on — mowing too early ruts the ground and tears the lawn. Your yard stays on the run; the timing just flexes.
Every one to two weeks through the warm half of the year, easing to monthly over winter. Fertile river soil plus subtropical rain makes for quick regrowth, so regular visits are cheaper than rescue jobs.
Yes — hedges, pruning, weeding, mulching, bed clean-ups and green waste removal from $70 a visit, done in the same trip as the mowing.
