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 established houses and holiday homes along Long Beach, from the Square Head walking tracks down to the Chain Bay boat ramp on the Clyde estuary.
Long Beach runs along the north bank of the Clyde estuary, from the Square Head walking tracks — with their views out to the Tollgate Islands — down to the Chain Bay boat ramp it shares with Maloneys Beach. The sandy, free-draining soil suits couch and kikuyu, both of which cope with the beach exposure better than fussier lawn types, though the sandier pockets closer to the water dry out fast once summer sets in.
It’s a settled coastal community — postcode 2536, median age 51, and a fair number of houses owned by people based in Canberra or Sydney who use them as holiday homes. The sea breeze off Chain Bay tempers things enough that growth rarely stops completely, even through the cooler months.
Book your free Long Beach quoteEvery visit fits the block, whether it’s a permanent home near Cullendulla Creek or a holiday house closer to Square Head.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly cuts with edges done along paths, drives and garden beds, height set for the sandier, beach-exposed pockets.
Fence lines, retaining walls and tight corners finished to the same standard as the open lawn.
A holiday house left between visits gets multiple passes and a full catch, not a single rushed cut.
Clippings carted away and paths or driveways blown down, so the place looks cared for as soon as you arrive.
Larger blocks toward Benandarah get ride-on gear where a push mower would take too long.
Scheduled visits that keep a Long Beach holiday home presentable between stays, arranged without the owner needing to be on site.
The mowing keeps the lawn in check; the gardening side looks after everything else on the block. Hedging, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal are all available, from $70 for a basic visit.
Sandy soil near the estuary drains fast, so garden beds close to Chain Bay and Square Head benefit from a mulch top-up before the warmer months to hold moisture in. A lot of our Long Beach customers are Canberra or Sydney based, so we can line up the gardening with the mow and have the whole property sorted in one visit before they arrive.

A lawn mown every fortnight through summer is a straightforward job. One left for weeks between holiday-home visits is a different one. A free onsite look, or photos if you’re in Canberra or Sydney, gets the price right.
Local operators who know the estuary foreshore and turn up when they say they will — not a call centre and a roster of strangers.
From the Square Head tracks to the Chain Bay boat ramp, our operators work this stretch of the Clyde estuary every week.
Small maintained lawns from $50, gardening from $70; bigger or overgrown jobs quoted to the actual work.
Every Fox Mowing NSW operator is fully insured — peace of mind whether you’re on site or a few hours up the highway.
Edges, trimming and a blow-down come as standard, so a holiday home looks ready the moment you walk in.
Weekly for a permanent home, or timed to your visits for a holiday house — booked to suit how the property’s actually used.

The sea breeze off Chain Bay keeps growth ticking over for most of the year, so a Long Beach lawn rarely stops completely, even in a mild, wet winter. Spring and summer bring the real growth surge, especially in the sandier pockets nearer the water, and that’s when a regular schedule matters most.
We mow right across the Long Beach foreshore and into Maloneys Beach, Benandarah and the run toward Batemans Bay. Nearby? Ask and we’ll sort a local operator.
