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 keeps St Georges Basin's sandy lakeside lawns tidy year-round, from retiree gardens near the Country Club to holiday homes that only see their owners some weekends.
St Georges Basin (2540) sits right on the lake, and that changes what a lawn needs. The sandy ground under most blocks drains fast, so a lawn given one heavy soak a fortnight will brown off quicker than one watered lightly and often — our local operators set the mowing height and frequency to match that, rather than treating it like a standard clay-soil suburb.
A lot of the streets here were subdivided through the 1970s to the 1990s as the lake became a drawcard, and that history shows in the mix of long-time retirees and weekenders who only get down every second or third week. Whether your block backs onto the Country Club fairways or sits a street back from the water, we work around whichever pattern suits you.
Book your free St Georges Basin quoteFrom tidy retiree gardens to holiday houses that only see an owner a few weekends a year, every job is set up around how the property is actually used.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits with edges trimmed along paths and garden beds, timed to how often you’re actually using the place.
Fence lines, retaining walls near the water and the tight corners a mower can’t reach, finished off neatly.
Left a while over the sandy ground and the grass has gone to seed? We bring it back in stages rather than scalping it in one pass.
Clippings caught and carted off, paths and driveways blown down, so it looks properly finished, not just chopped.
For owners who aren’t down every weekend, we keep the lawn presentable between visits so the place doesn’t stand out as empty.
Set-and-forget bookings for residents who’d rather not push a mower themselves, with the same operator turning up each time.
Alongside the mowing, our operators handle hedging, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal, from $70 a visit.
Sandy soil around the Basin loses moisture fast, so a proper mulch top-up before summer does more good here than in the heavier soils further inland — it holds water in the beds and cuts down how often they need attention. It also suits the older gardens common across the suburb, where a simpler, easier-to-manage layout is often what owners actually want.

Important: These are St Georges Basin starting guide prices. Your final quote depends on lawn size, access, grass condition and how often the mowing is booked.
A lawn mown every few weeks through the growing season is a straightforward job. One left over a long stretch while the owners are away is a bigger recovery task. A free onsite look means the quote matches the actual work.
A local operator who knows the lakeside blocks and turns up on the day arranged, not a rotating roster of strangers.
From the Country Club fairways to the water’s edge, our operators understand what sandy, free-draining ground needs.
Small maintained lawns from $50, gardening from $70, with bigger or overgrown jobs quoted to match the work.
Every Fox Mowing NSW operator carries full insurance, which matters for owners who aren’t always on site to keep an eye on things.
Edges, trimming and a blow-down as standard, so the place looks cared for whether you’re there or not.
Weekly, fortnightly, one-off or timed around when you’re actually down at the holiday house.

Growth on the sandy ground here follows the water, not the calendar — a wet spring pushes couch and kikuyu along quickly, while a dry stretch over summer can leave a lawn thin and patchy within a couple of weeks if it isn’t watered. Winters are mild and mostly frost-free, so mowing rarely stops completely, it just slows down.
We mow right across the Basin and Jervis Bay coast operator territory — St Georges Basin, Sanctuary Point, Basin View, Old Erowal Bay, Erowal Bay, Vincentia and Huskisson, and out toward Tomerong and Worrowing Heights. Nearby and not listed? Ask and we’ll sort a local operator.

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.
Yes — sandy, patchy turf close to the Basin foreshore is common right through this suburb, and it just means adjusting the mower height and going over it a little more often, so the thin patches get a tidy cut instead of a scalped one.
Small, well-maintained St Georges Basin lawns start from $50. Mowing with edging and a blow-down generally runs $70–$150+, gardening visits start from $70, and overgrown recovery work is from $100–$250+, depending on size and access.
Yes — a good share of our St Georges Basin bookings are exactly that, with visits timed so the lawn is tidy whenever the owners next arrive rather than left to grow out between trips.
Couch and kikuyu are the two most common lawns here and both cope reasonably well with sandy, free-draining ground, though they need more frequent, lighter watering than a lawn on heavier soil to stop it drying out and thinning.
Yes — hedging, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal, from $70 a visit, and most customers have the lawn and garden done in the same booking.
