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 looks after Wardell's village yards and the rural blocks around them — from the streets near the lift-span bridge to the cane country along the Richmond River.
Wardell is a proper small town — around 660 people, a general store, a pub, the public school and the old lift-span bridge carrying the road over the Richmond River. The yards match the town: modest older homes on real blocks through the village, with working cane farms spreading across the flats beyond. We mow both, on a schedule that suits how each is used.
The river gives Wardell (2477) its rich alluvial ground and, some years, its floods. That soil grows grass relentlessly through the warm months, and after heavy rain it can sit sodden for days, so mowing here rewards local judgement — knowing when a yard will take a mower, and how to bring a lawn back once the water has been through. Our operators work this stretch of the river regularly and plan around it.
Request your Wardell quoteFrom a cottage lawn near the school to a farmhouse surround on the flats, each job gets sized and quoted as its own.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly cuts for the home yards around the store, pub and school, edges and blow-down included.
House paddocks and larger blocks on the cane flats handled with ride-on gear and quoted on site.
Fence lines, paths, culverts and the strip along the front that makes the whole street look better.
Once the ground firms after the river has been up, we clear the debris, then cut back in stages until the yard is usable again.
Thick growth off damp ground makes heavy clippings; we catch and remove them so the lawn underneath breathes.
Mowing and garden care in one booking — handy for older residents and anyone managing a place from out of town.
The gardens around Wardell’s older homes were mostly planted for easy living, but on river soil nothing stays low-maintenance for long. Hedge trimming, pruning, weeding, bed clean-ups, mulching and green waste removal all start from $70 a visit, handled by the same operator who does the mowing.
Wet-country gardening is its own craft. We prune for light and airflow before the humid months arrive, keep beds from becoming waterlogged mats of mulch, and clear growth away from paths, tanks and fence lines while it’s still easy. Little and often beats a big annual battle on this ground.

Important: These are Wardell starting guide prices. Your final quote depends on yard size, access, ground condition and growth.
A regularly cut village yard is quick work. A block that’s been under water or left through a wet spell is a different visit, and we price each honestly.
A local operator for a town this size means someone who actually knows the ground — and comes back after it floods.
Wardell, Pimlico and the flats are part of the regular round, so the quirks of this ground aren’t news to us.
From $50 for small maintained lawns and $70 for gardening, with anything bigger quoted to the job.
Complete insurance cover on every operator and every visit.
We’d rather shift a cut by two days than wreck your lawn getting it done on the wrong day.
Neat edges and a blown-down path on every visit — village yards here are on show to the street.
1800 FOX MOW or the online form; quotes come back the same day, often without a site visit for standard yards.
Summer is the working season — humid, stormy weather that is generous to grass, with cuts needed every week or two and constant attention to how much water the flats are carrying. Yards near the river foreshore dry slowest after a wet spell, so they’re cut last on the run. Autumn tapers, winter idles along at a monthly cut, and by early spring the river soil is warming up and away it all goes again.
From Wardell the operator run heads upriver and up the coast alike — Broadwater and Pimlico close by, Meerschaum Vale and Coolgardie on the rises, then Ballina, Alstonville and through to Lennox Head. If you’re anywhere along that stretch, the same call sorts it.

If you want a lawn that looks healthy, neat, and professionally maintained, these are the people to call. The difference they made to our property was impressive, and we couldn't be happier with the result.
We had been battling persistent weeds for months and tried numerous products from local hardware stores without success. After Fox Mowing treated the problem areas, the results were noticeable almost immediately. Our weed issue is finally under control, and the garden looks much better.
Village yards that are regularly maintained start from $50, standard mowing with edges and blow-down runs $70–$150+, gardening starts from $70 and overgrown or post-flood recovery runs from $100–$250+ depending on the state of the yard. Blocks on the flats are quoted on site.
As soon as the ground will carry a machine without damage — typically once the water has drained and the surface has firmed, which can be a few days to a couple of weeks depending on the flood. We start with clearing and a higher first cut, then step the lawn back down over the following visits.
Every one to two weeks through the warm months and roughly monthly over winter. The alluvial soil and subtropical rain keep growth going for most of the year, so the interval moves with the season.
