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 cares for lawns and gardens across Berrima's sandstone Georgian village, from the National Trust conservation area on Argyle Street to the rural blocks on the edge of town.
Berrima (2577) is one of the best-preserved Georgian villages in Australia, and that shapes how we work. Sandstone cottages on Argyle, Jellore and Market Streets sit inside a National Trust-listed conservation area, so hedges get squared off properly and lawn edges are cut clean against old stone kerbing rather than left to blur the line.
The ground underneath is shale-clay loam at close to 660 metres, with heavier grazing clay on the rural blocks ringing the village. Cool-season lawns and frost-tolerant Buffalo varieties hold their colour far better here than couch through a Southern Highlands winter, and our operators set the mowing height to suit whichever ground a property sits on.
Book your free Berrima quoteEvery job flexes to the property — a sandstone cottage garden inside the conservation area, or a rural block out toward Medway and High Range.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly cuts with crisp edges against period stonework and garden borders.
Fence lines, low stone walls and tight courtyard corners a mower can’t reach, finished neatly.
Cool-season lawns that slow right down over a Highlands winter get eased back into growth once the frosts lift.
Clippings caught and carted, paths and driveways blown down, so a heritage streetscape looks properly finished.
Rural blocks on Berrima’s edge get the right gear — ride-ons and slashing where a push mower won’t manage.
Inspection-ready lawns for Berrima’s landlords and heritage property managers, kept on schedule.
The mowing keeps the lawn right; the gardening keeps the rest of a heritage block right. Our Berrima operators handle hedge trimming, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal — from $70 for a basic visit, sized to suit a period cottage garden or a working rural property.
Berrima’s colonial-era streetscape carries a strong deciduous character, and the autumn leaf drop around Holy Trinity Church and the old inns is a proper job on its own. A mulch top-up ahead of the cold months protects garden beds through the frostiest stretch of the year and keeps the conservation-area plantings looking cared for.

Spring brings the growth flush back to Berrima’s cottage gardens and rural paddocks alike, and that’s when mowing needs to be most regular. Summer is steadier, autumn turns the village gold as its deciduous trees drop their leaves, and by May the frosts have properly set in — cool-season lawns slow but keep some colour, unlike the warm-season grasses further down the Highlands.
We mow right across the Bowral corridor of the Southern Highlands — Berrima itself plus Bowral, Burradoo, Welby, East Bowral, Sutton Forest, Exeter, Bundanoon, Robertson, Kangaloon, Avoca, Wildes Meadow, Fitzroy Falls, Wingello and Penrose. Nearby? Ask and we’ll sort a local operator.

Yes — we cut edges cleanly against period stonework and keep hedges squared off to match the conservation-area streetscape, rather than treating it like a standard suburban lawn. It doesn't cost more, it just takes a bit more care around the old features.
