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 Bobs Farm lawns in shape on sandy acreage ground — from house blocks near the vineyard and fish farm to bigger semi-rural properties.
Bobs Farm is a semi-rural pocket of the Tomaree Peninsula where working agricultural businesses sit alongside quiet acreage blocks — Sunset Vine’s cellar door and restaurant at Wonganella Estate and the barramundi ponds at Tailor Made Fish Farms, home to the Cookabarra restaurant, are both still trading here. The sandy, free-draining Tomaree Peninsula ground that suits the vines also suits a couch or kikuyu lawn, provided it gets consistent feeding on soil this light.
Stockton Beach forms Bobs Farm’s entire southern boundary and Tilligerry Creek marks the northern edge, with Salt Ash and Anna Bay the only land neighbours either side. Postcode 2316 covers this acreage-lifestyle community of around 662 residents (2021 Census), spread across 37.3 square kilometres with a median age of 57. Port Stephens shares a mild, humid, subtropical-influenced climate without a real dry season, so out here a lawn rarely stops growing altogether — it just slows.
Book your free Bobs Farm quoteEvery visit is set up for sandy acreage ground and larger semi-rural blocks — from a house lawn near the vineyard to a paddock-edge property backing onto the creek.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly cuts with tidy edges along driveways, paths and garden beds.
Fence lines, dam edges and tight corners tidied to match the rest of a well-kept block.
A lawn left to grow out on a bigger acreage block gets multiple passes, catcher work and a proper reset.
Clippings caught and carted, hard surfaces blown down, so a rural-residential block looks properly finished.
Ride-on and slashing equipment for the larger semi-rural blocks around the vineyard and fish farm.
Inspection-ready lawns for Bobs Farm landlords and agents, kept tidy on schedule without you needing to be there.
The mowing keeps the lawn tight; the gardening keeps the rest of a semi-rural block looking cared for. Our Bobs Farm operators handle hedge trimming, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal — from $70 for a basic visit, sized up for the extra room an acreage block gives a garden to spread.
The same sandy, free-draining ground that suits the local vineyards drains garden beds fast too, so mulching and a steady feeding routine matter more here than on a tight suburban lot. With properties spaced further apart than in the coastal suburbs, a full garden tidy is naturally a bigger job than a compact yard.

Important: These are Bobs Farm starting guide prices. Your final quote depends on lawn size, access, grass condition, clipping volume and how often it’s done.

Warm, humid summers push couch and kikuyu along quickly on Bobs Farm’s sandy soil, much the same way they push the vines and fish farm operations through their own busy season. Growth eases into the cooler months, a good window for tidying garden beds and getting on top of hedges before the next growing run.
We mow right across the Bobs Farm and wider Port Stephens territory — Bobs Farm itself plus Anna Bay, Williamtown and the suburbs in between. Nearby? Ask and we’ll sort a local operator.
