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 McGraths Hill's 1970s and 80s estate lawns in shape, from the brick veneer blocks near Colbee Park to the bigger yards backing onto grazing land at the suburb's edge.

Most of McGraths Hill (2756) was cut up from the old McGrath family property in 1977, and the brick veneer homes that went up afterwards still make up the bulk of the suburb today. Those blocks sit on higher ground above the Hawkesbury floodplain, which spares them the worst of the frost pooling that settles closer to the river, though summer heat still pushes couch and buffalo lawns into fast growth through December and January.
The soil on the hill itself is heavier clay-loam than the alluvial ground down near South Creek, so it holds moisture differently and needs its own mowing rhythm. Our operators work right across the estate, from the older cottages near Old Hawkesbury Road to the newer streets, and out to the larger blocks toward the grazing land at the suburb’s edge.
Book your free McGraths Hill quoteStandard estate blocks, older village cottages and the bigger lots near the grazing paddocks all get the right approach.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits with clean edges around driveways, paths and garden beds on the estate’s standard blocks.
Fence lines, retaining walls and the tight spots around Colbee Park-side properties that a mower alone can’t reach.
Buffalo and couch that have got away over a long break get multiple passes and proper catcher work to bring them back under control.
Clippings caught and carted and hard surfaces blown down, so the finish looks deliberate, not rushed.
For the bigger yards backing onto the grazing land, we bring the gear that suits paddock-style grass, not just a suburban lawn.
Scheduled visits that keep rental properties across the estate looking sharp for inspections, without you needing to chase it.

Forty-plus years on, a lot of the original 1970s and 80s gardens across McGraths Hill are due for a proper reset — overgrown hedges, tired beds and shrubs that have outgrown their spot. Our operators handle pruning, hedging, weeding, bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal, from $70 a visit.
Clay-loam garden beds on the hill dry out and crack in a long dry spell, so a mulch top-up before summer makes a real difference to how much watering the beds need. Whether it’s a routine tidy or getting a place ready to sell, we can pair the garden work with the mow so it’s all done in one visit.

A standard estate lawn mown fortnightly is a straightforward job. A bigger block near the grazing edge, left a while, takes longer — a free onsite look gets it priced properly.

From the older cottages near Old Hawkesbury Road to the streets backing onto grazing land, we know what each part of the suburb needs.
Small maintained lawns from $50, gardening from $70, with bigger or overgrown blocks quoted to the actual work.
Every Fox Mowing NSW operator is fully insured, which matters for families and property managers alike.
Edges, trimming and a full blow-down come standard on every visit, so the block looks properly finished.
Weekly, fortnightly, one-off or seasonal, worked around trade and professional households that make up much of the suburb.

Sitting a little above the river flats spares McGraths Hill the worst of the winter frost pooling that hits suburbs closer to the Hawkesbury, but summer heat still sends buffalo and couch into a strong growth spurt from spring through into autumn. Regular mowing through the warmer months keeps that growth manageable rather than letting it turn into a recovery job.

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.
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 McGraths Hill lawns start from $50. Mowing with edging and blow-down generally runs $70–$150+, gardening visits start from $70, and overgrown recovery jobs run from $100–$250+, depending on size and access.
Yes — the larger yards backing onto the grazing paddocks at the edge of McGraths Hill are a regular job for us, alongside the standard estate lawns that make up most of the suburb. Bigger or overgrown blocks are quoted on site so the price matches the actual ground.
Buffalo and couch both cope well with the heavier clay-loam found on the higher ground of the hill, which is different from the lighter alluvial soil down near South Creek. Both grasses need regular mowing through the summer growth spurt to stay thick rather than patchy.
Yes — hedging, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal, from $70 a visit. It's a popular add-on for the estate's original 1970s and 80s gardens, many of which need a proper reset after decades of growth.
No — sitting on higher ground above the Hawkesbury floodplain, McGraths Hill largely avoids the flood risk that affects suburbs closer to the river. Lawns here are shaped more by clay-loam soil and summer heat than by flood recovery.
