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 looks after the small acreage and hobby-farm blocks of The Slopes, sitting between Kurrajong and Tennyson on the eastern edge of the Bells Line of Road orchard belt, with mowing timed to the area's seasonal frosts.
The Slopes sits at around 169 metres, on the transitional ground between the sandstone ridge country to the west and the Hawkesbury River flats to the east. It’s a quiet, low-density pocket — just over 300 people across roughly 100 properties — covered by the Hawkesbury Rural Fire Service district, with frost more common here than down on the river flats but less severe than the higher ground at Bilpin and Kurrajong Heights.
Soils are a moderately draining clay-loam typical of small rural-residential blocks, and around postcode 2754 almost every property is a separate house on a larger-than-suburban lot. Shaded, low-lying paddocks are the ones most likely to hold frost and slow growth through winter — something we factor into the mowing schedule rather than ignore.
Book your free The Slopes quoteSmall acreage and hobby-farm blocks need a flexible approach, and that’s what our local operators bring to The Slopes.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits with tidy edges along drives and fence lines, adjusted for the frost pattern on shaded, low-lying ground.
Fence lines, gates and the corners a mower can’t reach, trimmed back on every visit.
A paddock or lawn left through a wet or busy stretch gets brought back under control in stages, with clippings cleared as we go.
Clippings caught and carted away, with paths and hard surfaces blown down before we leave.
Ride-on mowing and slashing sized to the small acreage and hobby-farm blocks typical of this pocket between Kurrajong and Tennyson.
Mowing intervals stretched out through the coldest months on shaded, low-lying paddocks, then tightened back up once growth returns.
Hedging, pruning, weeding, garden bed clean ups, mulching and green waste removal are available from $70 a visit, suited to the larger blocks and rural-residential gardens common in The Slopes.
Clay-loam soil on a transitional block like this holds moisture differently to both the sandstone ridges above and the river flats below, so garden beds need watching through wet and dry spells alike — mulch helps even that out, especially heading into the cooler, frostier months.

Growth builds through spring and holds through summer on the better-drained, sloped ground, while shaded and low-lying paddocks lag behind through the cooler months. Frost is more of a factor here than down on the Windsor and Richmond flats, though less severe than up at Bilpin and Kurrajong Heights, so mowing intervals sit somewhere in between — typically stretching from fortnightly to monthly over winter.
