Local Spence lawn care
High ground: lawn care for Spence
Fox Mowing ACT mows and gardens right across Spence, gazetted on 2 November 1972 on the northern edge of Belconnen. At about 636 metres it is the highest of the suburbs around it, with a water tower built into a hill in the north-west corner and a CSIRO property nearby. The streets are named after trade unionists, and the suburb itself, first named for William Spence of the Australian Workers’ Union, was co-named in 2023 for the suffragette Catherine Helen Spence. It sits south of Owen Dixon Drive and Kuringa Drive, bounded by Alpen Street and Copland Drive, next to Fraser, Melba and Evatt.
Spence is a 1970s family suburb through and through: separate houses on standard blocks, the old primary school on the hill now home to community groups and the Mount Rogers Community Church, a local shopping centre with butcher, baker and supermarket, and the Spence/Evatt Shops on Copland Drive. The neighbourhood oval on Clarey Crescent has never really recovered from the 2002–03 drought, which says something about how the high, exposed ground here handles a dry year. Our operators work the 2615 postcode every week and plan Spence lawns for cold nights, hard frosts and dry summers.
