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 mows the sloping blocks of Narraweena safely and on schedule, from the ridge above Waratah Parade down toward the Dee Why border.
Narraweena (2099) sits on a ridge that tips east toward Dee Why, and plenty of backyards here follow that slope the whole way down. The soil is shallow sandy loam over sandstone, thin at the high side of the block, so a lawn left unwatched can brown off within a fortnight of dry weather. Our local operators know which streets need a taller cut and which need the mower worked carefully across the grade rather than straight up and down.
The height does have its upside — Narraweena catches a coastal breeze off Dee Why that keeps summer a touch milder here than right on the beachfront, even though the growing season still runs hard from October through to April. Around the Waratah Parade shops and out past Beverley Job Park, the streets mix original post-war brick and fibro homes with a scattering of duplexes, home to long-term owners and younger families who bought in as a more affordable Northern Beaches option. Whatever the block, we mow it the way it needs to be mowed.
Book your free Narraweena quoteEvery visit is set up for the block in front of us, whether that’s a flat rear yard near Cromer or a steep front slope running down to the street.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits with clean edges around paths, drives and garden beds, and the cutting height lifted through summer.
Sloping backyards are common on Narraweena’s ridge, and we work them across the grade with the right gear so nothing gets scalped or gouged.
Fence lines, retaining walls and the awkward corners a mower can’t reach, tidied to match the rest of the lawn.
Kikuyu that’s taken off after a wet spell gets multiple passes, catcher work and a plan so it doesn’t happen again.
Clippings caught and carted away, with paths and driveways blown down so the block looks properly finished.
On-schedule mowing for Narraweena’s landlords and property managers, timed for inspections without you needing to be there.
The mowing keeps the lawn right; the gardening keeps the rest of the block right. Our Narraweena operators handle hedging, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal — from $70 for a basic visit.
With topsoil thin along the ridge, a garden bed here dries out faster than one lower down toward Dee Why, so mulch and a decent soil top-up go a long way through the hotter months. Pre-sale tidy ups, rental clean ups and regular seasonal care are all on the list — one operator, one visit, lawn and garden both sorted.

Summer is the test in Narraweena — the ridge stays a little cooler than the beachfront thanks to the coastal breeze, but the growing season still runs hard from October to April and a scalped lawn on the high side of a block will burn off fast. We keep the cutting height up through the hot months and time visits so the slope never gets away from us. Autumn brings a slower, steadier growth rate, and winter mornings on the ridge can be cool enough to pause things almost completely before spring rain wakes the kikuyu back up.
We mow right across the Narraweena operator territory and the wider Frenchs Forest corridor — Narraweena, Beacon Hill, Cromer, Wheeler Heights, Oxford Falls, Frenchs Forest, Forestville and Killarney Heights, out to Belrose, Davidson, Terrey Hills and the Pittwater suburbs. Nearby? Ask and we’ll sort a local operator.

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.
Yes, but only with the right technique and equipment — a good share of Narraweena's backyards run downhill toward Dee Why, and slopes are exactly where DIY mowing goes wrong. We work across the grade rather than straight up and down, use gear suited to the incline, and know which streets need the extra care.
Small, maintained Narraweena lawns start from $50. Mowing with edging and blow-down is generally $70–$150+, gardening visits start from $70, and overgrown recovery runs from $100–$250+, depending on size, slope and access.
Buffalo and kikuyu both cope well with Narraweena's shallow sandy loam, provided the cutting height goes up when the high side of the block starts to dry out. A local operator sets the height and schedule to match your particular soil depth.
Yes — hedging, pruning, weeding, garden clean ups, mulching and green waste removal, from $70 a visit. Most Narraweena customers book the lawn and garden together in one visit.
Most Narraweena lawns need a cut every one to two weeks through the peak summer growth, dropping back to monthly once fed by autumn rain and cooler nights. Regular visits also make slope mowing quicker and safer, since the grass never gets away from us.
