Fox Mowing NSW covers Frenchs Forest's bush-fringed family blocks, from the streets around Northern Beaches Hospital and Forestway Shopping Centre to the edges of Garigal National Park.
Frenchs Forest sits on an elevated forest plateau a few kilometres back from the beach, running slightly cooler than the coast with good rainfall — conditions buffalo thrives in, especially in the part-shade cast by established gums. Soil is sandy loam over sandstone, with pockets of richer ground in the sheltered gullies, while blocks backing Garigal National Park deal with heavier leaf litter and shade than most.
As the hub of this stretch of the Northern Beaches, Frenchs Forest is home to Northern Beaches Hospital — a genuine commercial anchor that’s brought health workers and young families into a suburb of predominantly 1960s-70s brick homes on large bush-fringed blocks, with new apartment and townhouse development now filling in around the hospital precinct in postcode 2086.
Book your free Frenchs Forest quoteLarge blocks, established gum trees and a genuine mix of long-time family homes and newer apartment stock near the hospital mean no two Frenchs Forest jobs look quite the same.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly cuts sized to the suburb’s typically large, bush-fringed backyards.
Edging along fence lines, driveways and the sheltered gully beds where growth tends to be thicker.
Blocks that back straight onto Garigal National Park can get away fast after rain — multiple passes and proper catcher work bring them back.
Regular mowing for the newer apartment, townhouse and family properties that have filled in around Northern Beaches Hospital.
Clearing gum-leaf litter and debris from the boundary where lawn meets national park bush.
Efficient coverage of the suburb’s bigger 1960s-70s blocks without cutting corners on the finish.
With so many large, bush-fringed 1960s-70s blocks in the mix, Frenchs Forest gardens tend to be established and generous — mature hedges, garden beds in the sheltered gullies and shrub lines that need regular shaping to stay in check. Our operators handle hedging, pruning, weeding, bed clean-ups, mulching and green waste removal from $70 a visit.
Newer townhouse and apartment gardens around the hospital precinct tend to be smaller and more formal, so we scale the visit to match — a tidy, presentable finish without the time (or cost) a big backyard needs.

The elevated forest plateau runs slightly cooler than the coast but gets good rainfall, so buffalo keeps growing steadily through spring and summer in the part-shade under established gums. Growth eases in the cooler months, and bush-fringed blocks need a check for storm debris after heavy rain year-round.
