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 mows both sides of Pitt Town — the heritage village around St James Anglican Church and the new turf going down on the Vermont estate since 2007.
Pitt Town’s village core hasn’t changed much since St James Anglican Church went up in the 1850s, and the Victorian and Federation cottages around it still sit on the same modest blocks. What has changed is the ground beyond — since 2007 the Vermont estate has been filling in paddocks on the fringe with new turf that behaves nothing like the older lawns near the church. Postcode 2756 now covers both, and we mow them differently on purpose.
The soil shifts across the suburb too: fertile river-flat alluvium down towards the Hawkesbury floodplain and Pitt Town Nature Reserve, heavier clay loam once you’re up near the historic centre. Kikuyu and couch both take off fast once the weather warms, and a cold, foggy Hawkesbury winter morning can slow a lawn to a stop before the humidity of summer sends it running again.
Book your free Pitt Town quoteFrom the cottages near the church to the newest turf going down at Vermont, every Pitt Town lawn gets treated on its own merits.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly cuts with tidy edges along fences, paths and garden beds, whichever side of the village you’re on.
Fresh Vermont-estate lawns need a gentler first few cuts to root properly — we set the height and frequency to establish new turf, not scalp it.
Tight corners, heritage fence lines and garden edges finished by hand where the mower can’t reach.
Long grass after a wet Hawkesbury spell, brought back with multiple passes and full catcher work.
Clippings collected and carted off, with a blow-down finish on paths and driveways.
Ride-on mowing and slashing for the bigger blocks toward Pitt Town Bottoms and the river flats.
Hedging, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal, from $70 a visit — whether that’s a cottage garden by the church or a new bed still finding its feet on the Vermont estate.
New estate gardens need building up from scratch, with mulch and soil conditioning to get beds established on ground that was paddock a few years back. Older village gardens around the historic centre need the opposite — careful pruning and tidying that respects what’s already established. Either way, one operator handles the lawn and the garden in the same visit.

A new Vermont lawn mown fortnightly is a fast, simple job. An old village block left to grow through a wet spring is a longer one — a free onsite look sets the right price.
Local operators who understand both a 170-year-old village block and a lawn that went down last year — not a one-size-fits-all crew.
From the historic centre to the newest Vermont streets, our operators know which lawns need patience and which need pace.
Small maintained lawns from $50, gardening from $70, with acreage and bigger jobs quoted to the block.
Every operator is fully insured, for peace of mind whether you’re in a heritage cottage or a brand-new build.
Edges, trims and a blow-down come standard, so the result looks cared for either way.
Weekly, fortnightly, one-off or seasonal work, fitted around how the property is actually used.
Call 1800 FOX MOW or use the form, and most mowing-only jobs can be quoted without you needing to be there.
Spring and summer bring the humidity that pushes kikuyu and couch hard across Pitt Town, new estate and old village alike, while cold, foggy winter mornings on the Hawkesbury flats slow everything to a near stop. New Vermont turf needs a lighter touch through its first year regardless of season, while the older lawns near the church have long since settled into the district’s rhythm.
We mow right across Pitt Town and the surrounding villages — Wilberforce, Cattai, Freemans Reach, McGraths Hill, Oakville and Pitt Town Bottoms among them. Just over a boundary line? Ask and we’ll get a local operator to you.
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.
Yes — new Pitt Town turf on the Vermont estate needs a gentler first few cuts at a higher height while the roots establish, whereas the older lawns near St James have had decades to settle in and can handle a more standard mowing routine. We treat the two differently on purpose rather than running one schedule across the whole village.
Small, maintained Pitt Town lawns start from $50. Mowing with edging and blow-down is typically $70–$150+, gardening visits start from $70, and overgrown recovery runs $100–$250+ depending on size and access.
Yes — ride-on mowing and slashing for the bigger rural blocks on Pitt Town's fringe, quoted on site so the price matches the ground.
Generally once it's rooted enough that a gentle tug doesn't lift it, usually a few weeks after laying, and even then the first cuts should only take the very top off rather than dropping straight to a standard height.
Yes — hedging, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal, from $70 a visit, for both the historic village and the newer estates.
