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.
Young families move to Mount Annan for the space around the Australian Botanic Garden, and Fox Mowing NSW keeps that space in order — kikuyu and buffalo lawns on Macarthur shale clay, cut properly and edged back where it wants to spread.
The shale clay under most Mount Annan blocks is genuinely good growing ground once it’s been improved, which is exactly the problem — kikuyu takes that fertility and runs with it, into garden beds, over edging and straight through to the neighbour’s side. Our operators cut it tight and edge it back hard on every visit so it stays where it’s meant to.
It compacts rock-hard the moment a dry spell sets in, so a lawn that looked fine in spring can be cracking by February if it isn’t managed. Mount Annan 2567’s estate blocks — the newer builds within walking distance of the Australian Botanic Garden and Mount Annan Marketplace — each get a routine built around that clay, not a generic one-size cut.

Weekly or fortnightly visits through the growing season, height raised in the hottest stretch so the kikuyu doesn’t scorch on the shale clay.
Kikuyu runners chased back from fence lines, pavers and garden edges so they don’t creep into next door’s yard between visits.
New-owner yards that missed a season or two of care get taken back in stages, with the clay’s condition factored into the schedule.
All clippings bagged and removed, hard surfaces blown down, so nothing green ends up tracked back inside.
The larger lots toward Menangle Park and Spring Farm get ride-on gear rather than a push mower working overtime.
With so many young families renting through Mount Annan’s estates, we keep landlords covered with tidy, on-time visits.
Once the lawn’s under control, the garden bed edges are next. Our Mount Annan operators handle hedge trimming, pruning, weeding, bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal from $70 a visit — and yes, we’ll dig the kikuyu runners back out of the beds while we’re there.
A modest estate block doesn’t need much mulch to make a difference, but on shale clay it’s worth doing properly in spring, before the dry sets in and the beds crack. Families busy with kids and commuting tend to book the lawn and garden together so it’s one appointment, not two.

Most estate lawns here are a quick, tidy job on a regular round. A yard the kikuyu has taken over needs proper recovery time — a free onsite look sorts out which one you’ve got.
Operators who know how kikuyu behaves on this shale clay, and who show up on the day they say they will.
From the Botanic Garden fence line to the newer streets toward Currans Hill, our operators know exactly how far kikuyu will run if you let it.
Small maintained lawns from $50, gardening from $70, with bigger or overgrown jobs quoted properly on the day.
Every operator carries full insurance, which matters when young kids and pets are using the yard while we work.
Kikuyu chased back from beds and boundaries at every visit, not just cut over the top of.
Early visits before school drop-off, weekend slots, or a set weekday round — whatever suits a busy family household.

The kikuyu surge here is real once the warmer weather sets in, especially on freshly laid or well-fed lawns near the Botanic Garden, so mowing intervals tighten right up through spring and summer. Light frosts on the lower slopes brown the lawn off through winter, which is when growth all but stops and a monthly tidy is plenty.

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 Mount Annan lawns start from $50. Mowing with edging and blow-down generally runs $70–$150+, gardening visits start from $70, and overgrown recovery is from $100–$250+, depending on size and access.
Because the shale clay under most Mount Annan blocks holds fertility well but dries out fast once a warm spell sets in, so a lush kikuyu lawn can crack over within a couple of weeks without rain. Regular mowing at the right height helps it hold moisture between visits.
Kikuyu and buffalo both do well here once established, with kikuyu being the faster spreader of the two. Either copes with the clay, but kikuyu needs firmer edge control to stop it invading garden beds.
Yes — hedging, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal, from $70 a visit, with kikuyu runners cleared from beds as part of the job.
Yes — those bigger lots get ride-on mowing and slashing where a standard push mower would take too long. It's quoted on site once we've seen the ground.
Yes, that's standard practice on every Mount Annan visit — we cut a firm edge along beds, paths and boundaries each time rather than just running the mower over the top, which is what stops kikuyu creeping through in the first place.
