Local Hawker lawn care
A sporting suburb with fifty-year-old lawns
Fox Mowing ACT mows and gardens right across Hawker, and it is fair to say this suburb knows what good turf looks like. Established in 1972 and named for Charles Hawker, a federal member from 1929 to 1938, it has the Hawker Playing Fields, the enclosed oval at Robertfam Park, tennis and lawn bowls centres and the Hawker International Softball Centre inside its 1.9 square kilometres. The streets are named after Northern Territory pastoral stations, and the blocks between them are classic early-1970s family yards: generous, mostly couch and kikuyu, and shaded here and there by trees that have had half a century to grow.
The group centre is the other half of the picture. Small businesses, takeaways, a newsagent, a hairdresser, a restaurant and a motel all keep frontages that need to look presentable seven days a week, and three schools, Hawker Primary, Belconnen High and Hawker College, cover everyone from preschool to year 12. So an operator working postcode 2614 moves between a back yard that has been used as a cricket pitch all summer, a nature strip outside a shop, and a retired couple’s garden that has been kept the same way since the house was new, and each of those wants something slightly different from the mower.
