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 the former dairy-flat blocks around Raleigh, the small Bellinger Valley farming locality near Bellingen, mowed and presentable on a schedule built around acreage and rural-residential living.
Raleigh (population 681) grew up around dairying, and you can still trace that history past Raleigh Public School, opposite where the old Norco factory once stood. The floodplain soil that made this good milking country is the same soil pushing grass up hard on residential blocks today — rich, moisture-holding and quick to recover after a cut.
Twenty-four kilometres south of Coffs Harbour, postcode 2454, this Raleigh has nothing to do with the American city sharing its name — it’s a small Bellingen Shire farming community strung along the river flats. Former paddocks now sit as rural-residential acreage alongside a handful of homes near the school, and jobs here range from a modest yard to a full block that once ran cattle.
Book your free Raleigh quoteFormer dairy paddocks and residential blocks on rich floodplain soil both need regular attention through the growing season.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits with edges kept tidy along driveways, fences and garden beds.
Fence lines and paddock edges trimmed back neatly alongside the main mow.
Fertile floodplain soil can grow grass fast after summer rain — multiple passes and catcher work bring an overgrown block back under control.
Ride-on and slashing work for the rural and rural-residential acreage that makes up much of Raleigh.
Low-lying floodplain sections near the river carry occasional flood risk after heavy rain — we time visits around the ground being safe and firm enough to mow.
Regular mowing for the small cluster of homes near Raleigh Public School, kept neat and predictable.
We also cover hedging, pruning, weeding, bed clean-ups, mulching and green waste pickup around Raleigh, from $70 a visit — suited to the houses dotted among the old dairy paddocks rather than a tight suburban courtyard.
Floodplain ground grows a garden bed just as readily as it grows a paddock, so borders here push out fast and need pulling back into shape more often than on drier country. Drier months make for easier working conditions, and that’s usually when we’ll book a bigger tidy-up.

Old dairy soil doesn’t know it’s not growing pasture anymore — it pushes grass hardest once the summer storms roll in and only really eases up once the nights turn cold. Access is usually the bigger question than the season: a flat that’s been under water after a big rain event needs a few dry days before it’s worth putting a mower on it.
We mow right across the Bellingen operator run — Raleigh itself, Repton, Bellingen, Fernmount and Urunga. Nearby? Ask and we’ll sort a local operator.
