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 mows both sides of Darawank — the village blocks along Lakes Way Road and the river-flat acreage where the Wallamba River keeps the ground fertile, and occasionally boggy, after heavy rain.
Darawank sits where Lakes Way Road crosses the Wallamba River, roughly midway between the Forster-Tuncurry coast and inland Nabiac. Around 451 people call the village and its surrounding rural blocks home, and the mix shows in the mowing work — standard village yards on one side of the road, river-flat acreage on the other.
That river-flat ground is the interesting part. It’s alluvial soil, fertile and moisture-retentive close to the Wallamba, which grows a strong lawn but also turns boggy and hard to mow after a heavy fall. Further from the river the ground firms up into sandy loam. Knowing which side of that line a block sits on changes how we approach it.
Book your free Darawank quoteStandard village blocks and larger rural properties get the same attention, sized to what’s actually there.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits for village lawns, with edges trimmed along fences, driveways and garden beds.
Larger blocks along the Wallamba get ride-on mowing suited to ground that can be soft after rain.
Grass that’s got away after a wet spell — village or acreage — comes back under control with staged passes.
Fence lines, sheds and the spots a mower can’t reach, finished off by hand.
Clippings caught and carted so the lawn isn’t left smothered after a big cut.
Scheduled visits for owners who aren’t on the property day to day, with the work done whether you’re there or not.
Alongside the mow, our operators handle hedging, pruning, weeding and garden bed clean-ups from $70 a visit — useful on both the tighter village blocks and the larger rural gardens further from the centre.
On the river-flat ground, garden beds can hold water longer than you’d expect, so drainage and plant choice matter more than usual. We clear overgrowth, tidy beds and remove green waste, working the timing around whichever side of Darawank the rain has hit hardest.

Important: These are Darawank starting guide prices. River-flat blocks in particular can vary depending on how wet the ground is and how long it’s been since the last visit.
A village lawn mown fortnightly through the growing season is a straightforward job. A river-flat acreage block after a wet month is a bigger one.
One local operator who understands both the village blocks and the river-flat acreage, not two different companies for two different jobs.
We know which Darawank blocks sit on firm ground and which turn soft after rain, and we plan the visit accordingly.
Small maintained lawns from $50, gardening from $70, with acreage and recovery work quoted to the job.
Every operator carries full insurance, covering village and rural properties alike.
Edges done, clippings cleared, paths tidied — the standard finish on every visit.
Regular upkeep for a resident, or a one-off tidy for a landholder who isn’t on site every week.

The Wallamba catchment keeps rainfall reliable for most of the year, so growth rarely stops completely, but it does surge through the warmer, wetter months and slow through winter. River-flat blocks feel that most — strong growth when the soil’s damp, tougher mowing conditions when it’s saturated.
We cover Darawank along with the neighbouring Tarbuck Bay and Whoota localities, so whether it’s a village yard or a rural block further along Lakes Way Road, a local operator already knows the area.

Yes — we cover standard village blocks and the bigger semi-rural and river-flat properties along the Wallamba, including regular mowing for landholders who aren't on site day to day.
It can — ground close to the river holds moisture and grows strongly but turns boggy after heavy rain, so we adjust timing and equipment for river-flat blocks rather than treating every lawn the same.
