About EKO Mowing

Commercial and strata lawn and garden maintenance,
large area mowing



The business began operating in January 2012, though the owner already had ten years experience running similar businesses elsewhere, the solid basis of the K for know-how or knowledge.

We have consistently worked towards building our specialised job list of commercial premises and strata plan grounds maintenance, and large area mowing.

EKO normally works through property agents rather than directly with clients.

The area currently serviced is (from south to north) Jewells to Taree, and (from east to west) Newcastle to Heddon Greta and Thornton.

The usual contract is an annualised monthly fee for a service including 18-20 mowing visits, 10-12 weed spraying visits, and 4-6 pruning visits per annum.
This system benefits both parties as it spreads the higher summer costs and facilitates budgeting.

Clients include supermarkets, cemeteries, highway service centres, strata plans, factories, warehouses, suburban corporate offices.

Insurance certificates can be supplied with quotes; clients may view insurance certificates and safety documents on request.

EKO is registered with certification companies Rapid Global and Taskflo who monitor safety documents as well as insurances
