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 Kurrajong's village gardens and hobby-farm blocks on the escarpment, from the shops near Goldfinders Inn out to the old orchard acreage beyond.
Kurrajong sits where weathered basalt from the escarpment above meets sandstone country below, and the result is richer, moisture-holding soil than the clay flats further down the mountain. That’s generally good news for a lawn, but it also means growth doesn’t slow down the way it does on drier ground, so a Kurrajong lawn left too long gets away from you faster than most.
Around postcode 2758, village housing near the shops gives way to hobby-farm acreage on what used to be citrus and fruit-orchard land, and both need a different approach. Past St Gregory’s Catholic Church and the heritage-listed Goldfinders Inn, our operators move between tidy village yards and bigger escarpment blocks, adjusting the cut for the shade and dampness each one holds onto.
Book your free Kurrajong quoteEvery visit is set to the block in front of us — a tidy village yard, or a hobby-farm acreage on the old orchard land beyond.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly cuts with edges done properly, adjusted for Kurrajong’s cooler, wetter growing pattern.
Ride-on mowing and slashing for the bigger blocks out past the village, sized to the ground rather than a standard yard rate.
Fence lines, sheds and the shaded corners under old orchard trees, finished as tidily as the open lawn.
Growth that’s got away in a wet escarpment spring brought back under control with multiple passes.
Buffalo and fescue lawns under tree cover managed at the right height so they don’t thin out or turn patchy.
Clippings caught and carted, paths and driveways blown down, so the block looks properly finished.
Mowing keeps the lawn under control; gardening keeps the rest of a village or hobby-farm block in order. Our Kurrajong operators cover hedging, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal, from $70 for a basic visit.
Blocks on former orchard land often still carry old citrus and fruit trees that need proper pruning rather than a rough trim, and the richer basalt-influenced soil grows garden beds as readily as it grows weeds. Pre-sale tidy-ups and regular seasonal care are both on the list, with one operator handling the lawn and the garden together.

Important: These are Kurrajong starting guide prices. Your final quote depends on lawn size, access, grass height, clipping volume and how often the visit is booked.
A village yard cut every few weeks is a quick job. A hobby-farm block left through a wet escarpment spring is a proper recovery. A free onsite look means the price fits the actual ground.
Local operators who know the escarpment and turn up when they say they will — not a call centre working off a city-wide roster.
From the village shops to the old orchard blocks beyond, our operators know how the basalt-influenced soil behaves through a wet season.
Small maintained lawns from $50, gardening from $70; hobby-farm and acreage jobs quoted to the actual ground.
Every Fox Mowing NSW operator is fully insured, giving peace of mind on both village yards and bigger rural blocks.
Edges, trimming and a blow-down come standard, so the place looks looked-after, not just cut.
Weekly, fortnightly, one-off or seasonal acreage work — fitted around how the property is actually used.

Spring brings the fastest growth of the year on Kurrajong’s richer soil, and a lawn can put on a surprising amount of height in a single wet week. Summer stays a touch cooler and damper here than down on the Hawkesbury flats, so growth rarely stalls the way it does elsewhere. Autumn is when the village lawns hold their colour longest, and winter frosts on the escarpment slow everything down until growth picks up again in spring.
We mow right across the Kurrajong operator area — Kurrajong itself plus Kurmond, Kurrajong Hills, Bowen Mountain and out toward the Hawkesbury river-flat suburbs. Nearby but not listed? Ask and we’ll arrange a local operator.

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 Kurrajong lawns start from $50. Mowing with edging and blow-down is generally $70–$150+, gardening visits start from $70, and overgrown recovery runs $100–$250+, depending on size, access and how established the garden is.
A slightly higher cut helps a shaded buffalo lawn hold its density, since cutting it too short in low light thins it out and lets patches take over. We set the height to the amount of shade and dampness each part of the block actually gets, rather than mowing the whole thing to one setting.
Buffalo and fescue generally do better than couch on Kurrajong's richer, moisture-holding soil, especially on the shadier village and escarpment blocks. A local operator can tell you which one is already established on your lawn and how to keep it that way.
Yes — hedging, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal, from $70 a visit. Old orchard trees and established garden beds are common here and we're used to working around them properly.
Yes — ride-on mowing and slashing for the hobby-farm blocks on the old orchard land beyond the village, quoted on site so the price matches the ground.
