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 the timbered blocks of Yerriyong, out on the Nowra-to-Nerriga road, where a growing handful of cleared home sites sit among the eucalyptus forest.
Yerriyong isn’t a suburb in the usual sense. It’s eucalyptus forest on the road out to Nerriga, with a small and growing number of cleared home blocks scattered through the trees at around 240 metres elevation. That height brings cooler nights than the river flats near Nowra, and it changes how a lawn behaves – growth slows earlier in the evening and the grass holds moisture longer under the canopy edge.
The old Yerriyong state school ran here from 1885 to 1948, back when this was a working timber and farming community, and the same forest-floor soil the school sat on is what today’s home blocks are cleared from – sandier and less fertile than the volcanic country closer to Cambewarra, so it rewards a lawn that’s fed properly rather than left to fend for itself. We know the difference and mow to it.
Book your free Yerriyong quoteEvery job is set to the block – a recently cleared home site, an older bush property, or grass that’s got away since the last visit.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits with edges trimmed along the cleared line where the block meets the treeline.
Fence lines, tree bases and the awkward corners a mower can’t reach on a forest-edge block.
Long, thick growth on a bush block left too long between visits, brought back under control with multiple passes.
Clippings caught and carted away rather than left to smother the lawn under the trees.
Cleared bush blocks and larger acreage handled with ride-ons and slashing gear suited to forest country.
Scheduled visits for landlords and property managers with holdings out along the Nerriga road.
Beyond the lawn, our Yerriyong operators handle hedge trimming, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean-ups, mulching and green waste removal – from $70 for a basic visit. On a bush block, keeping garden growth clear of structures and fence lines matters as much as the mow itself.
Forest-floor soil dries out fast once cleared and exposed to full sun, so a mulch top-up through the warmer months holds moisture and keeps garden beds from cracking. Whether it’s a first tidy-up on a newly cleared block or ongoing seasonal care, one operator can handle the lawn and the garden in the same visit.

Spring brings the growth surge under the trees, and a cleared block can put on a fortnight’s growth quickly once the forest floor warms. Summer stays cooler here than on the open flats near Nowra thanks to the 240-metre elevation, but the grass still needs regular attention so it doesn’t get away between visits. Autumn is a good time to feed the sandier soil before winter slows growth right down, and the cooler overnight temperatures through winter mean fewer mows are needed until spring picks up again.
We mow right across the Yerriyong operator territory and the wider Cambewarra hub – Yerriyong, Bamarang, Illaroo, Cambewarra, Numbaa, Mundamia and Badagarang among them. Nearby on the Nerriga road? Ask and we’ll sort a local operator.

Yes — overgrown recovery on cleared bush blocks is a regular job for us out toward Nerriga. We come back for a second or third pass where the grass has got long and thick under the trees, then set a mowing schedule so it doesn't happen again.
Yerriyong sits at 240 metres in eucalyptus forest country, so the cleared home blocks run on sandier, less fertile forest-floor soil than the river flats closer to Nowra. It grows a lawn well enough, but it needs more deliberate feeding to hold its colour and thickness.

Yes — Yerriyong is forested rural and bush-block acreage rather than standard house lots, and our operators bring the right gear for cleared areas cut out of the trees. Bigger blocks are quoted on site so the price matches the ground.
