Fox Mowing NSW looks after the established peninsula gardens of Wangi Wangi (2267), from the streets near Dobell House out to the reserve boundary at Wangi Point.
Wangi Wangi (2267) grew out of an early-1900s holiday-camp settlement on the western shore of Lake Macquarie, and a lot of that history is still standing — Dobell House, the old Wangi Power Station on the point, and the reserve out toward Pulbah Island. It’s a settled, well-kept part of the peninsula, and the lawns tend to reflect it.
Soil here is generally sandy-loam over a shale or sandstone base, free-draining close to the water with heavier clay-influenced pockets as the ground rises away from the foreshore. Warm-season growth runs roughly October to April; over a third of Wangi Wangi’s residents are aged 65 and over, so a good share of our work is keeping long-held family and retirement homes tidy without the owner having to do it themselves.
Book your free Wangi Wangi quoteEvery job flexes to the block — a foreshore cottage, a retirement home on a quiet street, or a reserve-boundary property near the point.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits with edges trimmed around paths, drives and garden beds on the peninsula’s established blocks.
Fence lines, retaining walls and the tight corners around older peninsula homes, finished as neatly as the open lawn.
Away for a while over winter and come back to grass past your ankles? Multiple passes and catcher work bring it back under control.
Clippings caught and carted, paths and driveways blown down, so a Wangi Wangi block looks properly finished, not just cut.
Careful mowing and trimming up to the Wangi Point Reserve boundary line, including tidy presentation ahead of bushfire season.
Regular mowing for older residents and downsizers who’d rather not push a mower around a peninsula block any more.
The mowing keeps the lawn right; the gardening keeps the rest of the block right. Our Wangi Wangi operators handle hedge trimming, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal — from $70 for a basic visit.
A good number of Wangi Wangi’s gardens are long-established, so mulching the clay-influenced beds away from the foreshore helps them hold moisture through the drier months, and a tidy-up ahead of bushfire season keeps growth away from fence lines and reserve boundaries.

Buffalo and couch put on strong growth from October through to April, moderated a little by the lake compared with paddock country further inland, then slow down noticeably over the cooler, wetter winter months. Reserve-boundary and foreshore-adjacent lawns get extra attention ahead of the fire season, when a tidy edge along the treeline matters.
