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 Nelligen's heritage streets and bush-edge blocks tidy, from the Braidwood Street cottages to the rural-residential lots out toward Currowan.
Nelligen sits on the western bank of the Clyde River, reached along the Kings Highway rather than the coast road, and that inland position means summer afternoons run a touch warmer and winter mornings a touch colder than the beach suburbs down at the Bay. The soil here is heavier and holds its moisture better than the sandy ground closer to the water — good news for a couch lawn, less good news for keeping the bush from creeping over the back fence between visits.
Nelligen (2536) is a small, older riverside community, and the blocks reflect it: heritage cottages along Braidwood Street sit close to the cenotaph and the old foreshore where the Clyde River punt used to cross, while the newer edges of the village back onto larger rural-residential and bushland blocks. We mow both kinds properly — tight, tidy lines near the heritage precinct, and the bigger bush-edge jobs that a standard suburban crew would rather not take on.

From a heritage cottage block on Braidwood Street to a bush-edge property heading out toward Buckenbowra, every quote is set to the ground in front of us.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits with clean edges along paths and garden beds, timed around the village’s slightly cooler mornings.
Fence lines, the cenotaph surrounds and the tight corners along Braidwood Street, finished as neatly as the open lawn.
Overhanging growth along the tree line cut back so it stops creeping onto the lawn between visits — a regular job on Nelligen’s river-flat blocks.
Clippings caught and carted off rather than left to smother the grass in our damper riverside soil.
Ride-on gear for the bigger blocks toward Currowan and Runnyford, where a push mower simply won’t keep pace.
Scheduled visits for Nelligen’s holiday and rental properties, done to a set calendar whether or not anyone’s home.
The mowing keeps the lawn right; the gardening keeps the rest of the block right. Our Nelligen operators handle hedge trimming, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal — from $70 for a basic visit.
With bushland pressing in on so many blocks here, keeping garden beds and fence lines clear of encroaching growth matters as much as any ornamental tidy-up. A seasonal cut-back stops native regrowth from swallowing a garden bed whole, and it’s one job we can schedule alongside the regular mow so it’s one operator, one visit, for both.

Important: These are Nelligen starting guide prices. Your final quote depends on lawn size, access, grass height, clipping volume and how often it’s done.

Being set back from the coast on the Kings Highway means Nelligen feels the seasons a little more than the beach suburbs down at the Bay — warmer summer afternoons, cooler winter mornings, and a spring growth spurt on the river-flat soil that can outpace a monthly mow if we let it. We lift the cutting height in summer and keep a closer eye on the bush line right through the warmer months.
We mow right across the Nelligen operator territory and out toward Currowan, Benandarah, Runnyford and Buckenbowra. Nearby? 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.
Small, maintained Nelligen lawns start from $50. Mowing with edging and blow-down is generally $70–$150+, gardening visits start from $70, and overgrown or bush-edge recovery runs from $100–$250+, depending on size and access.
Yes — Nelligen's riverside blocks often run back into bushland, and taking on bigger, overgrown ground is a regular part of the job here. We quote those on site so the price matches the amount of clearing involved, not just the lawn itself.
Couch does well on Nelligen's heavier, moisture-retentive river-flat and bushland soils. It copes with the wetter ground better than finer lawn varieties, though it still needs regular mowing to stop it getting away between visits.
Yes — hedging, pruning, weeding, garden clean ups, mulching and green waste removal, from $70 a visit. Given how many Nelligen blocks border bushland, a lot of that work is keeping regrowth off the fence line and garden beds.
Yes — ride-on mowing for the bigger rural-residential and bushland blocks toward Currowan and Buckenbowra. Those jobs are quoted on site so the price reflects the size and the terrain.
