Fox Mowing & Gardening was born in 2012 with a simple mission: A fairer franchise model that ensures highly successful franchise businesses.
Vik joined Fox Mowing & Gardening in October of 2023 after thorough research into the various lawnmowing franchise brands on the market. The Fox principles appealed to him – a fairer model, market leading fees, and the huge opportunity that a larger territory offered. After a day out on the road with one of our original Fox Franchisees, Vik was sold. Since then, Vik’s business has gone from strength to strength, and he is over the moon with the support from Marcus and Phil (Fox Founder). He is loving spending his days outside, seeing his fitness improve (and has dropped a few belt sizes too!)
After leaving university and spending years in physically demanding roles, I was looking to take my career into my own hands. I wanted something that offered independence and the potential for success. That's when I stumbled upon the mowing, gardening and landscaping industry—a field where my work ethic could directly translate into tangible results. After careful consideration choosing Fox emerged as the clear choice. Not only did they have a commitment to treating franchisees as more than just a number, but they also could best provide the tools and support necessary to establish a thriving business. With Fox, so far, I've been able to forge my own path, design my schedule, and build a prosperous business that mirrors my commitment and enthusiasm. For me joining the Fox family isn't just about owning a franchise; it's about taking charge of my future and crafting a lifestyle and business that truly suits me.
I chose to join the Fox team after months of exploring different franchises, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. From the start, I felt that I belonged to the Fox team and their honesty stood out to me, especially when they drove 400kms to have a coffee and a chat with me. As the Fox team is small it made me feel that there was the potential for growth without competing with other Fox franchisees.
Within the first two months of joining Fox, I have never felt like I have been alone in this journey. Marcus checks in with me a couple of times a week, and I’ve built great relationships with other team members. I even receive weekly emails from Phil filled with tips, which shows me that he truly cares about everyone who joins Fox.
My key highlight so far was being part of the Build a Bike programme as part of our team day. It really touched my heart being able to give back to the community and reinforced why I chose Fox in the first place.
With more than four decades of experience in the lawn care and gardening game, Fox has helped nearly 300 franchisees in Aus and NZ kickstart their own successful businesses.
Ready to ditch the 9-to-5 grind and take charge of your future? It’s time to join the Fox family and carve out your own path to success.

Just like your day now, you will kick off with coffee (or your bevvy of choice). You are likely to already have your day scheduled, so you will load up your vehicle with your water bottle and lunch bag and head off to your first job.
It’s likely that this is a property you know, so you are straight into your usual routine and keeping an eye out for any recommendations you can make to the property owner (think weed spraying, soft landscaping, or maybe a water blast.) As you work through your schedule, you will receive leads from our epic call centre team – you reach out to these leads ASAP, and you might even stop by one or two so that you can provide a super-speedy quote.
At the end of your day, you will head home to do some gear maintenance to keep your gear ship shape, and you will complete your invoicing and send out some quotes. You might even choose to finish up early to head out to the golf course or coach the kids sports team. Or just kick back at home with a crisp beer to finish off your day! It’s up to you.
Register your interest either online or via our call centre 0800 369 669. Our epic team will be in touch to chat through what you are looking for and see if Fox might be a fit for you.
