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 Myocum's mix of hobby-farm acreage and established homes, on the same rich basalt soil that once made this hinterland pocket dairy country.
Myocum is one of the larger hinterland localities in this pocket of the Byron shire, home to around 1,217 people across roughly 420 occupied households. Most properties sit on rich red basalt Ferrosol soil left behind by an old volcanic caldera — ground that dairy farmers prized for generations and that now grows macadamia and avocado orchards around Coorabell and Bangalow just as well as it grows a lawn.
Sitting a little inland and elevated compared with Byron Bay, Myocum runs cooler overnight, which softens the edge off the humid subtropical summers without slowing the grass down much. Properties range from acreage and hobby-farm blocks to smaller, more established lots near the old railway corridor — the former Myocum Railway Station platform, unattended and closed since 1974, still marks where the North Coast line once ran through.
Book your free Myocum quoteWith most Myocum homes on separate house blocks and a good spread of acreage besides, we run two kits — domestic mowers for the smaller established lots, ride-ons for the rest.
Weekly to monthly visits with edges cut cleanly around driveways, sheds and garden beds, timed to how fast the grass is running.
Hobby-farm and former dairy blocks get ride-on mowers and slashers so the bigger paddocks get done properly.
Fence lines, creek edges near Myocum Creek and tight corners, finished off to match the rest of the mow.
Paddocks and lawns that got away after a wet spell get staged mowing and proper catcher work until they’re back on schedule.
Clippings carted off rather than left to sit, which matters on the flatter paddocks where the ground holds moisture longer.
With a steady mix of owner-occupiers and renters, we keep investment properties inspection-ready on schedule.
Lawn mowing is only part of keeping a Myocum property tidy. Our operators also handle hedge trimming, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean-ups, mulching and green waste removal, starting from $70 a visit.
A lot of Myocum blocks border macadamia or avocado plantings, and the same fertile basalt soil that suits an orchard pushes weed growth hard through the wet summer months. Regular garden attention keeps beds from disappearing under it, and mulching through the cooler months helps established gardens hold moisture once the drier winter sets in.

Being slightly elevated and inland takes the worst of the coastal humidity off Myocum’s summer nights, but the growing season still runs hard from spring through to autumn on this basalt ground. Winter mornings can be genuinely cool here compared with Byron Bay, and growth eases back enough that most properties can stretch to a monthly cut.
We cover Myocum as part of the same local run as Hayters Hill, Skinners Shoot, Talofa and Tyagarah, so whether you’re on an old dairy block or a smaller lot near the former railway corridor, the same operator can service both.

It usually means ride-on mowing and slashing for the paddocks, alongside standard mowing and edging for any smaller lawn areas around the house. Former dairy blocks on Myocum's basalt soil grow fast through the wet season, so we set the interval to match rather than leaving it to get away.
Small, maintained Myocum lawns start from $50, with mowing including edges and blow-down generally $70–$150+. Gardening visits start from $70, overgrown recovery runs $100–$250+, and hobby-farm or acreage mowing is quoted on site.
