Local knowledge

The Country Around Wollongong

We are based right here in Wollongong. Wollongong sits in the Wollongong City Council area, in the Illawarra.

Wollongong is the biggest centre in the Illawarra and the one with the most variety in the work. There are strata schemes and commercial sites across the city that need reliable scheduled grounds maintenance, large residential blocks in Figtree, Mount Keira, Mount Kembla and Unanderra that back onto the escarpment, and steep land along the foothills that only a tractor can keep down.

Mowing in Wollongong was among the first services Broadlands offered, and it still is. We run commercial out-front mowers for the lawns and verges, tractors with mulching decks for the slopes, and a spray unit for the bindii, clover and weeds that come through the coastal turf, so one crew covers a Wollongong property from the footpath to the back fence.

Slashing

Paddocks, acreage and steep slopes cut with a mulching deck, so the grass is spread evenly and breaks down instead of sitting in windrows.

No Runaround. No Surprises.

Three Simple Steps From First Look to Finished Property

A straightforward process, so you know what to expect from quote through to completion.

  1. We look at the property

    We come out, walk the block with you and look at the slope, access, growth and anything that needs working around. Then we explain the best approach and give you a clear quote with no pressure.

  2. You get a clear plan

    We match the right machine and setup to your property, whether it is steep, wet, overgrown or a big lawn that just needs doing. You will know how the work will be done and what to expect.

  3. You get a tidy property back

    We complete the job to the agreed standard, spread the cut material evenly and leave nothing for you to clean up. The result is a paddock, lawn or estate you can use straight away.

The cost of leaving it

Long Grass Never Gets Cheaper to Cut

In Wollongong, putting the job off another season usually ends up costing more:

  • Grass thickens to the point where it has to be cut twice, or cut slowly, which costs more
  • Lantana, blackberry and fireweed seed into country that was still good pasture
  • Fuel loads build against houses, sheds and boundaries through the hottest part of the year
  • A conventional slasher leaves windrows that smother the pasture you were trying to improve

Good Questions — Here's What to Know

Do you charge travel to Wollongong?

No. Wollongong is home for us, so there is no travel component in a Wollongong quote at all.

How soon can you get to a job in Wollongong?

Usually within a week or two depending on the season — spring and early summer book out fastest. If you have a council notice, a settlement date or a fire-season deadline, tell us and we will work to it.

Do you do small residential jobs in Wollongong, or only acreage?

Both. We mow large residential lawns and lifestyle blocks in Wollongong as well as slashing paddocks and acreage. If the block is big enough that a normal lawn service struggles with it, it is the kind of job we do.

Do you take on strata and commercial grounds contracts in Wollongong?

Yes. Scheduled grounds maintenance for strata schemes, businesses and managed properties across Wollongong is a core part of our commercial work, and we are fully insured with documentation available for your records.
