Local vegetation and our approach

Native vegetation

Dry sclerophyll forest

Clear the understory, keep the eucalypts, reduce fire risk.

Mallee scrubland

Thin where needed, create access tracks, manage regrowth.

Coastal heathland

Keep wind-hardy plants, clear carefully where erosion is a risk.

Riparian growth

Protect bank stability and water quality, clear selectively.

Invasive species control

Lantana

Remove the plant and roots, then follow up on regrowth.

Blackberry

Cut canes back, work on the roots, plan to stop it returning.

Prickly pear

Remove the whole plant, tidy the site, watch for regrowth.

Exotic grasses

Clear selectively, encourage native grasses, manage over time.

Difficult terrain and access

Steep slopes

✓ Slope-rated technique
✓ Erosion control
✓ Staged clearing
✓ Soil stays in place
✓ Safety first

Wet areas

✓ Timing to suit the season
✓ Light-footprint approach
✓ Protect water quality
✓ Minimal ground disturbance
✓ Work back from edges

Dense bush

✓ Open access in stages
✓ Manage the canopy
✓ Mind local wildlife
✓ Keep valued trees
✓ Let light back in

Rocky ground

✓ Blade protection
✓ Careful cutting
✓ Avoid hidden hazards
✓ Choose safe access routes

How it works

Site assessment and plan

We walk the block, note the growth, terrain and access, and flag anything sensitive to protect.

Choose the right tools

We pick our electric tools for most work, and bring the petrol Bobcat only for heavy or large jobs.

Systematic clearing

We clear in stages, removing problem growth while keeping the trees and plants worth saving.

Manage the cuttings

We mulch, compost or remove the cut material so the site is left clean and usable.

Tidy up and plan ahead

We restore the ground, control erosion where needed and plan any follow-up maintenance.
