Fox Mowing NSW covers the hobby farms and bush blocks at Possum Brush, in the Manning Valley hinterland between Taree and Forster-Tuncurry, with bushfire-season slashing as much a part of the job as regular mowing.
Possum Brush (2430) is hinterland country just off the Pacific Highway, home to hobby farms, rural-residential acreage and bush blocks rather than a standard suburban street grid — reflected in a small, settled population of 145 spread across around 57 households. Clarendon Forest Retreat, a 300-acre property with its own pool, tennis and horseriding, sits within the locality and gives a sense of the block sizes typical out here.
Soil varies from lighter sandy-loam on cleared blocks to heavier clay near the bushland margins, with kikuyu and couch the practical choices given the acreage. Because so much of Possum Brush borders native bush and state forest country, grass and scrub slashing ahead of bushfire season is as much a part of the job here as a regular mow.

Grass and scrub slashing on bush-block boundaries ahead of summer, cutting the fuel load before fire season sets in.
Bigger hinterland paddocks that a push mower can’t cover get the ride-on treatment instead.

Blocks left to run over a wet stretch get multiple passes and thorough catcher work until they’re back in hand.
Scheduled mowing for landlords with Possum Brush properties, kept on track without you being on site.
Hinterland gardens here often back straight onto bushland, so hedging, pruning, weeding, bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal all matter for both looks and fire safety — our Possum Brush operators cover the lot from $70 a visit.
Clearing growth back from sheds, fence lines and the house itself is standard practice on a bush block, not an afterthought, and we factor that into every visit. Book lawn and garden together and one operator handles the whole property.

Possum Brush’s growing season follows the humid Barrington Coast hinterland pattern — warm, humid summers push kikuyu and couch along quickly, while winters stay milder than further inland but slow growth all the same. The real seasonal marker here is bushfire season: grass and scrub on bush-block boundaries need cutting back well before summer heat sets in.
We service Possum Brush and the surrounding Manning Valley area — Bohnock, Koorainghat, Laurieton, Melinga, North Haven and Pampoolah. Just outside that list? Ask and we’ll sort a local operator.
