Frequently Asked Questions

  • What machinery is used for pasture preparation?

    For pasture preparation, a variety of specialised machinery is utilised to ensure the land is optimally prepared. This includes bulldozers for initial land clearing, which is essential for removing trees and debris. Following this, graders are employed to create a smooth surface, while tractors fitted with disc ploughs break up the soil, making it suitable for seeding. Seeders and spreaders then distribute seeds and fertilisers evenly across the area. Depending on the requirements of the land, additional equipment, such as harrows, may be used to refine the soil further and ensure it is in prime condition for new pasture growth.

  • How soon can livestock graze on newly prepared pasture?

    The time before livestock can graze on newly prepared pasture depends on factors like the type of grass planted, weather conditions and soil fertility. Generally, it’s advisable to wait until the grass has established a strong root system and reached an adequate height, typically about six to eight weeks. This period allows the plants to grow sufficiently to support grazing without being uprooted or damaged. Monitoring the growth and health of the pasture is essential to determining the right time for grazing and ensuring sustainable and productive use of the land.

  • Will work be done at night as well as on weekends?

    The earthmoving and pasture preparation work schedules can vary depending on the project requirements and deadlines. Generally, work is planned during daylight hours to ensure safety and efficiency. However, there may be instances where work is carried out on weekends to meet project timelines or accommodate specific client needs. Night work is less common but can be arranged if necessary, with all required safety measures in place. For projects like land clearing in Rockhampton, contact us today. Our team ensures an efficient, tailored preparation process.
