FORESTRY
MULCHING

Forestry mulching is the most efficient way to clear unwanted and nuisance vegetation, especially where the mulch is not required to be retained for future use. This process involves cutting and mulching the vegetation all in one motion and then laying that mulch back onto the ground.

Forestry Mulching is beneficial as it leaves a coarse layer of mulch on the ground which reduces soil erosion, retains soil nutrients and decreases evaporation rates. Mulching is more cost and time effective than carting vegetation waste to disposal facilities.

Forestry Mulching applications include right of way clearing, firebreak installation, plantation and mine site maintenance and rehabilitation, vehicle and personnel access, removal of invasive species and even bushfire rehabilitation.

Our purpose built machines are carefully selected for the project at hand and have no real limitation on vegetation size, have very low ground pressure and can handle inclines of up to 45 degrees.

FIREBREAK
INSTALLATION

Firebreaks are mineral earth tracks, generally situated around the perimeter of a property and are required by Local Governments as per their Bushfire Control Notice. A firebreak can in some instances prevent a fire from moving into surrounding parcels of land or in the unlikely event of a bushfire, the firebreak provides safe access for fire and emergency personnel and their vehicles.

Firebreaks are generally installed via tractor and rotary hoe in soft ground or by heavier machinery with a bucket or blade where rocky ground is present.

SLASHING

Where possible we use Flail Mowers/Mulchers as they provide a much nicer cut than traditional grass slashers. However, slashers have their place where some terrains do not permit the use of flail mowers. Slashing does not collect or remove any of the clippings. Our combination of small front deck and large agricultural tractors allow us to access most areas.

We can slash your residential block or rural paddock to meet local council regulations prior to the bushfire season.

LICENSED WEED
SPRAYING

Weed spraying is an alternative control method to areas not easily accessible to machinery. Spraying can control weed growth for extended periods of time. Our chemicals are carefully chosen to suit the application and we are licensed by the Department of Health to carry out weed spraying activities.

We can customize a maintenance program that suits your property throughout the year or weed spraying on your request.
