Absolutely fantastic service. The team transformed our lawn in no time at all, and the edging was completed with incredible precision. The attention to detail exceeded our expectations, and the finished result looks outstanding.
Fox Mowing NSW works the Mulgoa valley the way it needs to be worked — ride-ons and slashing for the paddocks along Mulgoa Road, a proper mow and tidy for the house yard.
Mulgoa isn’t lawns and fences — it’s clay-loam paddocks, creek flats and remnant Cumberland Plain woodland running down a valley that’s been farmed since the 1820s. Grass here comes in acres. It jumps after spring rain, stands tall through November, then cures off into fire fuel by December, which is why the locals who’ve been here for generations book their slashing before Christmas rather than after.
Our operators service the whole of Mulgoa (2745), from the hobby farms and homesteads along Mulgoa Road to the heritage properties near St Thomas Anglican Church and the acreages bordering Mulgoa Nature Reserve and Fernhill Estate. Ride-on mowing and slashing for the open ground, a push mower and edges around the house — one visit covers the lot, sized to the property rather than a suburban template.

The house yard cut, edged and blown down on a schedule — because even on five acres, the lawn by the verandah still sets the tone.
Post-and-rail fence lines, dam banks, machinery sheds and gateways — the places a deck can’t reach on a rural block.
A paddock or yard that got away over a wet spring gets knocked down in stages and hauled off, then put on a schedule that holds it.
House-yard clippings caught and removed, driveways and paths blown clean — the homestead end of the job done properly.
This is the core Mulgoa job — ride-ons for the open acres and slashing for paddocks, quoted on site so the price fits the ground.
Leased cottages and rural rentals kept presentable between inspections, with photos on request if you’re managing from a distance.
Rural gardens carry more history than most. Some Mulgoa properties have plantings older than the suburbs east of them, and old hedges, fruit trees and rambling beds need a steadier hand than a set-and-forget suburban garden. Our operators prune, weed, mulch and clear beds, with basic gardening visits from $70 and every load of green waste taken off the property.
Mulch earns its keep on the valley’s clay-loam, holding spring moisture into the dry months and keeping beds workable when the ground sets hard. We also do the once-a-year jobs — the big clean-up before a family event at the homestead, or the tidy that gets a heritage garden photographed at its best before sale.

Important: These are Mulgoa starting guide prices. Your final quote depends on lawn size, access, grass height, clipping volume and how often it’s done.
Acreage pricing comes down to ground and growth. A slashed-in-spring paddock is a straightforward pass; one left until the grass has seeded and lodged takes twice the time. We walk it first, then quote it.
Operators who understand rural blocks and keep their word on timing — which matters when fire season is the deadline.
They know the valley’s rhythm — when the paddocks jump, when they cure, and which creek flats stay soft after rain.
Standard lawns from $50 and gardening from $70; acreage walked and quoted on site so there’s no guesswork on either side.
Full insurance across every operator and every machine — from the push mower at the house to the slasher in the paddock.
The homestead end gets suburban attention — edges, trim and blow-down — even when the rest of the job is measured in acres.
Monthly acreage rounds, a pre-Christmas slash or fortnightly house-yard cuts — the visit pattern follows the property.
Phone 1800 FOX MOW or drop your details in the form. For acreage we’ll arrange a walk-over; small yards can often be priced from the gate.
The valley calendar is blunt. Spring rain sends the paddocks away and the slashing season opens; by December the standing grass has cured and every uncut acre is fuel sitting next to remnant woodland. Summer is about keeping what’s been cut short and the house yard alive through the heat, autumn is the tidy-up after the growth finally eases, and winter is the quiet month-by-month hold until it starts again.
The territory around Mulgoa is all within reach of the same operators — Silverdale and Wallacia further down the road, Glenmore Park and Regentville toward town, Orchard Hills across the ridge, and the full run of Penrith suburbs beyond. Rural, suburban or somewhere in between, we’ll match the local.

The team arrived exactly when scheduled and took great care while trimming our hedges. Their workmanship was excellent, and they left the property spotless after completing the job. We would gladly recommend their services to others.
A truly professional gardening service. We needed a large amount of garden waste removed along with a general tidy-up of the yard. The team worked efficiently, completed everything quickly, and left the area looking neat and refreshed.
We have used several gardening and lawn care companies over the years, and Fox Mowing stands out as one of the best. Their service is reliable, professional, and consistently delivered to a high standard. We regularly recommend them to family and friends.
If you want a lawn that looks healthy, neat, and professionally maintained, these are the people to call. The difference they made to our property was impressive, and we couldn't be happier with the result.
We had been battling persistent weeds for months and tried numerous products from local hardware stores without success. After Fox Mowing treated the problem areas, the results were noticeable almost immediately. Our weed issue is finally under control, and the garden looks much better.
Small maintained lawns around the village start from $50, standard mow-and-edge jobs sit around $70–$150+, and gardening visits begin at $70. Acreage, ride-on and slashing work is always quoted on site after a walk-over of the ground.
Yes on both counts — acreage is the bulk of what we do in Mulgoa. We run ride-ons and slashers over paddocks and open ground, and most local customers book a standing round through spring so the grass never gets the chance to cure into December fuel.
Before the grass cures — which in this valley means slashing through spring and again in early summer. Grass that jumps after spring rain and is left standing turns to dry fuel by December, so the pre-Christmas slash is the one that counts.
Yes — that's how most Mulgoa jobs run. The slasher or ride-on handles the open ground, then the house yard gets a proper mow, edges and blow-down, so the whole property is done in a single booking.
Yes — pruning, weeding, mulching, bed clean ups and green waste removal from $70 a visit. Older gardens around the valley's heritage properties get careful hands, not a hedge trimmer on autopilot.
Call 1800 369 669 or use the form and a local operator will be in touch the same day. Small yards can often be priced straight away; for acreage we'll set a time to walk the block with you.
