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 looks after Asquith's lawns from the station-side streets to the blocks running into Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, including bushfire-season undergrowth clearing where it's needed.
Asquith’s streets mostly date from 1920s-60s subdivisions — brick veneer and weatherboard homes on standard-to-larger blocks around the railway station, with a run of properties on the eastern side backing straight onto Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. That split matters for mowing: station-side lawns are straightforward regular cuts, while the bush-backed blocks need an operator who understands what grows right up against the tree line.
The ground here is thin, sandy and low in nutrients, sitting over Hawkesbury sandstone and draining fast after heavy rain, so we lean on mulched beds and hardier turf rather than a heavy-fertiliser routine. Asquith (2077) also sits inside the Rural Fire Service bushfire danger period each year from October to March, which shapes when and how we cut the properties along the park boundary.

Weekly, fortnightly or monthly cuts with edges done around driveways, garden beds and fence lines across Asquith’s older subdivisions.
For blocks backing onto Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, we cut back long grass and thin undergrowth ahead of the RFS bushfire danger period.
Fence lines, garden edges and the corners a mower can’t reach, finished to match the rest of the lawn.
Grass that’s got away on a bush-backed block over a wet spring gets extra passes, catcher work and a tidy finish.
Clippings caught and carted, hard surfaces blown down, so the property looks properly finished, not just cut.
Thinned vegetation and garden waste from park-boundary properties carted away as part of the same visit.
The mowing keeps the lawn right; the gardening keeps the whole block tidy and, on the park-boundary properties, safer through fire season. Our Asquith operators handle hedge trimming, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal — from $70 for a basic visit.
Because the sandy Hawkesbury sandstone soil here leaches nutrients quickly, mulched beds do more of the work than fertiliser alone, holding moisture and feeding the soil slowly. For the properties on the eastern side against the national park, keeping undergrowth thinned and grass cut low ahead of the RFS danger period (1 October to 31 March) is as much about safety as tidiness.

Spring is the busiest stretch, with growth pushing hard right through summer before easing back from May. On the bush-backed blocks, the run-up to the RFS bushfire danger period each October is when undergrowth clearing matters most, so we plan those visits ahead of the season rather than leaving it to the last minute.
We mow right across the Asquith operator territory — Asquith, Hornsby, Hornsby Heights, Mount Colah, Waitara and the national park fringe beyond. 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.

Small, maintained Asquith lawns start from $50. Mowing with edging and blow-down is generally $70–$150+, gardening visits start from $70, and overgrown or bush-backed recovery jobs run $100–$250+, depending on size and access.
Yes — on Asquith's eastern side, where blocks back directly onto Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, we cut back long grass and thin undergrowth ahead of the RFS bushfire danger period (1 October to 31 March), which is exactly the kind of ember-zone clearing those properties need each year.
Hardier turf handles the thin, free-draining Hawkesbury sandstone soil better than lawns that expect rich topsoil — we mow and treat Asquith lawns to suit that ground rather than fighting it.
Yes — the older 1920s-60s streets around the station are part of the regular Asquith round, alongside the bush-backed blocks further east.
