Our
Services

  • Steep Terrain Mowing

    Is your property too steep to safely mow with a traditional ride-on or tractor? Are you sick of whipper snipping? Our machine can easily mow grasses and shrubs that others struggle on

  • Weed Mulching

    Do you have a weed problem? Sick of looking at huge blackberry piles and thistles? We mulch them to a pulp enabling you to treat them in a manageable and accessable manner. Or we can recommend a contractor we work closely with for follow up treatment

  • Bushfire mitigation

    Concerned about the fuel load on your property? We can selectively reduce and remove the problem areas. Working carefully to avoid specific areas and plants and not necessarily using a total mulch to the ground approach

  • Total Property Solutions

    Have a rugged property you want tamed and then maintained? We can advise you on initial solutions then come up with an ongoing maintenence plan to have it looking perfect all year round. We can finish mow, whipper snip and more

  • Stump Grinding

    Utilising our Green Climber tracked skid steer, we attach a stump grinder to the front. This enables us to grind out previously unreachable stumps powefully with 57HP of grinding ability

  • Forestry Mulching

    If you have a signigficant vegetation or weed issue, fallen storm debris or burn pile of small branches and trees that is unsafe to burn, or perhaps you want a more environmentally friendly method to deal with the issue. Then our tungsten carbide toothed forestry mulcher can help. Capable of mulching 150mm + diameter trees it makes light work of difficult areas

  • Storm Cleanup

    The large log grab that attaches to the machine can carry big trees and branches. We can seperate firewood from scrap, cut lengths into managable pieces and even split the wood with our Australian SuperAxe professional hydraulic log splitter
