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 the Wilsons River valley flats and hillside blocks around Eltham, the Lismore hinterland village near Clunes — not to be confused with the Melbourne suburb of the same name.
Eltham was originally called Mayfield, renamed after the English town when the Murwillumbah railway line reached the district. The old Eltham railway station and the Eltham Hotel still mark the village, along with the bridge that carries the road over the Wilsons River. Around 332 people live here today.
The ground shifts as you move through the valley — sand, gravel, clay and alluvium down on the river flats near the bridge, rising to volcanic basalt on the hinterland blocks above, including the pasture around Eltham Valley Macadamia Farm. The lower flats can turn damp after heavy rain, which changes how and when we mow them.
Book your free Eltham quoteEvery job flexes to the ground — a river-flat block near the bridge or hinterland acreage above the valley.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly cuts across valley and hillside blocks, with edges kept tidy around paths and fences.
Riverbank margins and fence lines near the Eltham bridge trimmed as part of the visit.
River-flat lawns left too long after wet weather get multiple passes and catcher work until they’re back on track.
Clippings caught and carted, with driveways and paths blown down on the way out.
Ride-ons and slashing for the hinterland acreage above the valley, including macadamia farm frontages.
Village and valley properties kept presentable on a set schedule without you needing to be there.
The mowing keeps the lawn in shape; the gardening covers the rest of the block. Hedging, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal are all available from $70 a visit.
Valley gardens near the Wilsons River sit on sand, gravel and clay that drain quickly, while the hinterland blocks above hold basalt soil that stays damp longer. Either way, a mulch top-up before the wet season protects garden beds from being washed out or waterlogged.
