Our Pasture Preparation Services

  • Mowing
    Mowing pastures is an integral part of pasture management since it prevents the spread of weeds and keeps the quality of the forage consistent. Mowing also helps to promote a pasture that is high in nutrition. Our team is happy to help with all of your mowing needs today.
  • Removal of existing vegetation
    Vegetation consists mainly of turf or a mix of grass and weeds, but it can also range from grazing grasses to a selection of wildflowers. Before creating your beds, you can choose to remove any existing plants. Consider chemical, mechanical, manual or mulching methods to deal with existing vegetation.
  • Preparing soil for seeding
    When it comes to the quality of the         project, soil preparation is undoubtedly the most critical element of pasture management. We can figure out what procedures are required for your new lawn or pasture to grow densely, stay green and keep weeds from germinating in your soil. We'll prepare your soil with a range of hand-held or tractor-mounted technology so it can produce the vegetation you want.
  • Fence construction & repair
    In pastures, good fencing design is essential. Fencing is used for a variety of reasons, including livestock protection and containment. An effective rotating or another intensively-managed pasture system can be a cost-effective strategy for providing food to grazing animals year-round while also lowering herd nutrition expenditures. The kind of grazing management system, as well as the cattle species, class and age, all influence fencing requirements. Contact us for all your fence construction and repair needs today.
  • Planting using a range of methods
    Alongside our hydroseeding services, we provide a variety of alternative revegetation options to suit a variety of situations. We can move a tractor and various tools to your site to complete revegetation activities for larger stretches of land. We use a range of technologies such as broadcast seeding to form new vegetation.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are levee banks?

    Levee banks are artificially raised or constructed embankments designed to reduce the likelihood of flooding during high-flow events in watercourses. Essentially, they act as physical barriers, protecting homes, businesses, community buildings and roads from floodwaters.

  • What is the difference between a dam and a levee?

    While both serve flood control purposes, dams and levees differ significantly. Dams are large structures that impound water, creating reservoirs. They store water for various uses, such as hydroelectric power generation or irrigation. In contrast, levees are smaller, localised embankments built along rivers or streams. Their primary function is flood risk reduction. Unlike dams, levees don’t store water; they redirect it during floods.

  • Will work be done on weekends?

    Yes, we offer a flexible schedule to meet project deadlines and specific requirements, including work on weekends. This flexibility ensures projects can proceed without unnecessary delays, maximising efficiency and productivity. This approach helps ensure timely project completion.
