Local Environa lawn care

The suburb that was planned in 1924 and is still mostly paddock

Fox Mowing ACT mows and gardens in Environa through the operators who already work Jerrabomberra and Tralee on either side of it. There is not much to mow yet. Environa is a gazetted locality west of Jerrabomberra Creek, hard against the ACT border and the Hume industrial estate, and the 2021 census recorded no residents at all. Henry Halloran bought the land in 1924 and planned a city here with offices, a hospital, theatres and streets named Rue de Paris and Piazza di Roma; the Depression killed it, no blocks were sold, and the stone arch and pillars he built are about all that came of it. A house went up in 1971, and the rest stayed grazing land.

That is changing. Environa has been folded into the South Jerrabomberra development, a new road called Environa Drive now links the area through to Tompsitt Drive, and the first lawns of the new estate will be laid on the lower slopes of Pemberton Hill between 620 and 660 metres above sea level. We are not going to pretend there is a village here. What we can promise is that any property on the 2620 side of the creek, rural or brand new, gets a local operator.

What we do in Environa

Services for Environa: from paddock to first lawn

Grazing grass, a build site or the first strip of turf — there is a service that fits what stands on the block today.

Regular mowing & edging

For the established homes, a straightforward mow, edges and blow-down on a schedule. See lawn mowing and edging for what is included.

Slashing & ride-on for rural lots

Most of Environa is still open ground. Slashing or ride-on mowing a few times a season keeps it down and is quoted per block after a look.

Vacant land & holding lots

Owners and builders sitting on land ahead of construction need it kept tidy for council and neighbours. We handle property maintenance visits on vacant lots.

New lawns on volcanic ground

The rock under Environa is rhyolite and rhyodacite, which weathers to thin, fast-draining soil. New turf here needs soil conditioning and organic matter under it first.

Weeds on disturbed ground

Earthworks wake up every weed seed in the soil. Weed control on new lots stops thistles and paddock grasses seeding the first lawn.

Clean-ups for the older properties

The few long-standing homes get garden clean-ups, hedge work and tree trimming like anywhere else on the Jerrabomberra round.

Gardening services Environa

Gardening in Environa, now and as the estate arrives

Today gardening in Environa means the odd rural garden: windbreaks, a vegetable patch, a hedge along a drive. Our operators cover hedging and pruning, weeding, mulching and seasonal clean-ups from $70 a visit, and the green waste leaves with them.

As South Jerrabomberra lots are built out, the work will shift to what new estates always need: builder-planted screening hedges shaped before they get leggy, beds on raw fill mulched deeply before the first hot westerly, and young trees staked and pruned so they survive the wind off Pemberton Hill. We do pre-sale and end-of-lease gardening as well, for the investors who will follow the builders in.

What sets an Environa quote?

There is no typical Environa block yet, so every price starts with a look.

Done properly, even on a paddock

An even slash with no missed strips, and a real finish with edges and blow-down where there is a lawn.

On your timetable

Seasonal slashing, a monthly tidy of a vacant lot or a weekly cut once the lawn is in — we fit the visit to the stage the block is at.

Seasonal lawn support

Seasons on the open ground of Environa

With almost no houses and no tree cover, Environa gets the Canberra-region climate undiluted. Frost sits on the paddocks from May to September and hard frosts fill the low ground along Jerrabomberra Creek through mid-winter. The spring rain in September and October starts the main growth flush, which on unmown land means seed heads by late November and dry fuel by January, so the first slash needs to be booked early. Summer westerlies cross the lower slopes of Pemberton Hill with nothing to break them. Any new lawn laid here will want a feed in mid-October and again in autumn, and the ground will almost certainly need top dressing to build some soil depth over the volcanic rock before it holds colour through a summer.

We mow right across Queanbeyan and its surrounds — Environa, Jerrabomberra, Tralee, Hume, Googong, Karabar, Crestwood, Queanbeyan West, Queanbeyan East, Greenleigh and Royalla — and across the wider Queanbeyan area. Nearby? Ask and we will sort a local operator.

My initial mowing job was quite a difficult task for the person from Fox Mowing as the grass was tall. However, the skill and patience he showed was admirable. He took his time and made sure that the yard was brought to its original glory days. Cannot recommend them highly enough. They truly are a cut above the rest.

Frequently asked questions

Environa lawn and garden questions, answered

How much does lawn mowing in Environa cost?

The guide prices for Environa are the same as the rest of the Queanbeyan area: a small maintained lawn from $50, a medium to large mow with edges from $70 to $150+, and gardening from $70. In practice most Environa work today is slashing open ground or tidying vacant lots, which is quoted per block after a free look.

Does anyone actually live in Environa, and do you really service it?

Very few people: the 2021 census recorded no residents in Environa, which is a gazetted locality between Jerrabomberra and Tralee that was planned as a city in the 1920s and never built. We service it through the Fox Mowing ACT operators who already cover Jerrabomberra and Tralee, for the handful of existing properties and for the new South Jerrabomberra lots as they are developed.

What kind of soil will a new lawn in Environa be sitting on?

Thin soil over acid volcanic rock. Environa sits on the lower slopes of Pemberton Hill on rhyolite and rhyodacite from the Deakin Volcanics, which weather to shallow, fast-draining ground. A new lawn here needs organic matter and soil conditioning worked in before turf goes down, and top dressing afterwards, or it will dry out in its first January.

Can you keep a vacant block in Environa tidy until I build?

Yes. Slashing or ride-on mowing a vacant Environa lot two to four times a season keeps the grass down, the weeds from seeding and the neighbours happy, and it is priced per visit to the size of the block. We can also do a one-off clean-up before the builders arrive.

Will you do gardening for a new home in Environa once it is finished?

Yes. Hedging, pruning, mulching, bed weeding and garden clean-ups in Environa start from $70 a visit, and new-estate gardens on raw fill need a deep mulch and early hedge shaping more than most. End-of-lease and pre-sale tidy-ups are available for investment properties too.

How do I get an Environa quote?

Call 1800 369 669 or use the form on this page, and the Fox Mowing ACT operator covering your side of Environa will call you back, usually the same day. For open ground or a vacant lot we will come and look before pricing.
