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 keeps Tomakin's lawns in check where the Tomaga River meets the sea, covering permanent houses on the old village grid as well as holiday cottages that fill up only on weekends.
Tomakin fills up on weekends and school holidays and goes quiet the rest of the time, and that pattern shapes almost every lawn job we do here. A house that only sees its owners a handful of days a month needs a set schedule, not a phone call each time the grass gets away. We mow, bill, and move on, so the place is ready whenever the next visit happens.
The ground reflects where the town sits — Tomakin (2537) is built where the Tomaga River meets the sea, so most blocks run on river-flat or sandy coastal soil that drains well but grows fast once the humidity picks up. Couch and kikuyu handle the sandier lots, while buffalo suits the older, established yards away from the water. Whether your street backs onto Mogo, sits toward Rosedale or Guerilla Bay, or runs down near Mossy Point, we know the ground.

Weekly, fortnightly or monthly cuts with edges done along paths and driveways, timed to how humid the run of weather has been.
Set visits arranged around a Tomakin house you only see on weekends and school holidays, billed after each mow with no need to call ahead.
A block left through a run of humid, wet weeks can put on serious growth — multiple passes and a full catch bring it back under control.
Fence lines, around sheds and the corners a mower skips, finished so the whole block reads as tended.
Clippings caught and carted, driveways and paths blown clean, so it looks freshly done and not just knocked over.
Shared and individual lots at Tomakin’s caravan parks and holiday cottages kept tidy on a schedule that suits the operator, not just one owner.
A mowed lawn only tells half the story if the beds around it are getting away too. Our Tomakin operators handle hedge trimming, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal, from $70 for a basic visit, usually booked in the same trip as the mow.
River-flat gardens close to the Tomaga River hold moisture well and grow strongly through the warmer, humid months, while the older established yards further from the water need a steadier hand on pruning and edging. A mulch top-up before the summer season helps beds cope with the growth surge and keeps weeds down between visits — useful on a property nobody’s tending day to day.

Call 1800 FOX MOW or use the form. For mowing-only jobs we can often quote without you needing to be in Tomakin at all.
The river and the sea keep Tomakin’s temperatures mild across the year, but summer humidity is the real driver of how fast the grass gets away between visits — a block that’s fine on Monday can be knee-high by the next long weekend. Spring brings the growth surge, autumn is the settling-down period for river-flat gardens, and winter slows everything enough that visits can be spaced further apart.
We mow right across the Tomakin operator area — Tomakin, Mogo, Rosedale, Guerilla Bay and the wider Eurobodalla coast down toward Moruya. Nearby? Ask and we’ll line up a local operator.
