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 keeps the small rental yards and unit blocks of Kempsey's town centre tidy year-round, working around Riverside Park and the heritage streets off Belgrave Street.
The Kempsey (2440) CBD sits directly on the Macleay River’s alluvial flat, so the handful of house and unit blocks here grow grass hard on deep silty loam but are among the first to silt up and waterlog when the river floods. Bureau of Meteorology records for the local Wide Street station put mean annual rainfall at 1,215.7mm with January highs around 29.2 degrees, so a town-centre lawn rarely gets a proper rest.
Unlike the wider valley, the CBD is a rental and unit-heavy pocket — around half of occupied dwellings are rented rather than owned, and flats and semis make up a bigger share of the housing mix than anywhere else in the Kempsey area. That means a lot of our work here is quick, tidy turnarounds on small yards ahead of an inspection, rather than acreage jobs.
Book your free Kempsey quoteEvery visit is sized to a compact CBD block, whether that’s a rental yard, a unit courtyard or a shopfront strip near Belgrave Street.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly cuts with edges kept sharp along paths, fences and driveways on tight town blocks.
The narrow strips and corners around units and rental yards, finished to match the open lawn.
Grass left to run in a vacant rental or an empty block gets brought back with multiple passes and full catcher work.
After Macleay River floods like May 2025 put silt across the low-lying town centre, we clear debris and bring a waterlogged lawn back for an inspection.
With over half of CBD homes rented, we work to real estate timeframes so the yard is right before a tenancy inspection or change-over.
Small courtyards and shared garden strips around Kempsey’s flats and semis kept neat with minimal fuss.
Town-centre gardens in Kempsey tend to be small — a courtyard bed, a strip along a fence, a planter outside a Belgrave Street shopfront — but they still need regular attention to look right. Our operators handle hedging, pruning, weeding, bed clean-ups, mulching and green waste removal, from $70 a visit.
Because so much of the CBD’s housing stock is rented, we’re used to working to a property manager’s brief and getting a small block ready for inspection day, as well as keeping the frontages around Riverside Park and Kempsey Central looking cared for.

With 1,215.7mm of rain spread across the year and January means near 29 degrees, Kempsey CBD lawns are rarely dormant for long. The main risk isn’t drought, it’s the Macleay River rising over the low-lying town flat and silting up small yards, which is when a fast clean-up mow matters more than a scheduled one.
We mow right across the Kempsey operator run — Kempsey, West Kempsey, South Kempsey, East Kempsey and Frederickton. Nearby? Ask and we’ll sort a local operator.
