Local Lyneham lawn care
Mowing for a suburb of old trees and new flats
Fox Mowing ACT mows and gardens right across Lyneham, postcode 2602, from the original late-1950s streets bounded by Wattle, Dryandra, Archibald and Mouat Streets through to the North Lyneham homes built north of Ginninderra Drive in the mid to late 1980s. The suburb name was gazetted in 1928, after Sir William Lyne, but nothing was built until 1958, when the first houses went up for public servants whose departments were moving from Melbourne. Sixty-odd years on, those streets carry the established gardens and big trees the suburb is known for, and the lawns underneath spend half the year in shade and the other half under leaves.
The housing mix has changed the work. Only about a quarter of Lyneham dwellings are now separate houses; the rest are townhouses like The Pines and the flats going up between Sullivans Creek and Northbourne Avenue. Our operators handle both ends: a full block on a street named for an early Canberra artist, and a strip of lawn beside a townhouse driveway. The suburb sits at 575 metres on calcareous shale under alluvium, and the flat, older ground near the creek holds moisture well into spring.
