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 covers Wagga's youngest, university-side suburb through hot dry summers and sharp winter frosts, from new-build blocks near Charles Sturt University to the larger rural-residential allotments still on the fringe.
Boorooma (2650) sits north of the river beyond the Murrumbidgee floodplain, right alongside Charles Sturt University’s Boorooma Campus. The ground here carries a heavier alluvial clay than the red-brown earths further south around Wagga’s older suburbs, and once a lawn’s established, that clay is prone to cracking hard through a dry summer stretch.
It’s the youngest suburb in Wagga by median age, and the property mix reflects that — new-build blocks going up alongside a handful of larger rural-residential allotments still working through the transition to standard suburban housing. Both need a different approach, and our local operators size the job to match rather than running a one-size mow.
Book your free Boorooma quoteFrom compact new-build blocks to the bigger rural-residential lots that haven’t yet been subdivided, every Boorooma job is quoted to the actual size of the yard.
Fresh turf on a new Boorooma build needs a careful first few cuts while it knits into the alluvial clay beneath — we adjust height and timing accordingly.
Weekly through the spring flush, back to a slower pace once the winter frosts take hold, with edges kept clean around paths and driveways.
Fence lines, garden bed edges and the tight corners around a new build, tidied to match the rest of the lawn.
A lawn left through a growth spurt on Boorooma’s heavier clay gets thick fast — multiple passes and proper catcher work bring it back.
Some Boorooma allotments are still sized more like rural blocks than standard suburban lots, and we quote those on site to match the ground.
With the university campus next door, a share of Boorooma properties are rentals — we work to a schedule that suits landlords and tenants alike.
Mowing keeps the lawn under control; the gardening keeps the rest of a new block looking settled. Hedging, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal, from $70 a visit.
New garden beds on Boorooma’s alluvial clay often need help holding their shape once the ground dries and cracks in summer — a solid mulch layer slows that process down and keeps new plantings from drying out before they’ve had a chance to establish.

Spring is Boorooma’s busiest mowing stretch, with the alluvial clay holding onto growth well once the frosts ease off. Summer brings the same hot, dry pattern as the rest of Wagga, and lawns here still brown off and go dormant despite sitting north of the river — a higher cutting height through the worst of it protects the roots. Autumn slows things gradually, and winter frosts on this side of the river stop growth almost entirely until spring picks back up.
We mow right across this newer side of Wagga — Boorooma, Estella, Cartwrights Hill and the streets bordering North Wagga Wagga and the CBD. 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.

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.

Small, maintained Boorooma lawns start from $50. Mowing with edging and blow-down is generally $70–$150+, gardening visits start from $70, and overgrown or new-turf recovery runs from $100–$250+, depending on size and access.
Yes — a standard new-build block and a larger rural-residential allotment are priced differently because the mowing time is genuinely different. We quote on site so the price matches the actual size and layout of your yard rather than a flat suburb-wide rate.
Boorooma sits beyond the Murrumbidgee floodplain on the northern Wagga flats, where the ground carries a heavier alluvial clay than the red-brown earths of the older southern suburbs. It's manageable once a lawn's established, though it can crack in a dry summer stretch like the rest of the district.
Yes — winter frosts on this side of the river are just as sharp as anywhere else in Wagga, and growth slows to almost nothing through the colder months. Mowing eases right back over winter and picks back up once the spring flush arrives.
Yes — hedging, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal, from $70 a visit. It's a common add-on for newer gardens still establishing on Boorooma's heavier clay.
