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       text: 0459 822 489       email: office@ekomowing.com                                    ^ Jobs Leading Hand Contractor Opportunity published on our website on 6th August 2026 The work Using our equipment to look after commercial lawns and gardens, with a commitment to quality Where EKO is based in Mayfield Our customers are in suburban Newcastle NSW ranging out to Jewells, Heddon Greta, Thornton, and Stockton Choose: 1 day, 8 hours working, per week 2 days per week 3 days per week Options in bold are presently available Qualifications Essential Experience in mowing including large zero-turn ride-ons Substantial experience in gardening Must have a Horticulture Certificate or be studying for one Drivers Licence, of course Experienced with vehicles with manual gear change Experienced in towing trailers Must be strong, capable and ambitious Contract rate There is a single contract hourly rate for all work It is calculated as: A + B + C + D A The landscaping award rate, Level 4, Trade qualified B Casual loading 25% C Superannuation loading 15% D EKO Contractor loading 15% A is currently $29.45/hr Contractor notes Contractors must supply certificates of insurance for Public Liability Insurance and if applicable Workers Compensation Insurance Getting started ...
