Paddock Reclamation Services
Reclaim your overgrown paddocks and restore them to productive farmland. Our forestry mulching service quickly clears years of regrowth, transforming neglected land into usable pasture.
Benefits of Paddock Reclamation
Restore overgrown paddocks to productive use within days, reclaiming land lost to regrowth over years of neglect
Clear years of regrowth in days, not weeks—our single-pass process is dramatically faster than traditional clearing with chainsaws and burning
Improve carrying capacity for livestock by removing woody weeds that compete with pasture grasses and harbour pests like ticks and feral animals
Increase property value and functionality—cleared paddocks add significant value to rural properties and expand usable grazing area immediately
Mulch enriches soil for better pasture growth, adding organic matter that improves water retention and soil biology for healthier grass
Cost-effective compared to traditional clearing—no excavators, trucks, or tip fees required, and the mulch adds value rather than creating disposal costs
Our Process
From first contact to completed project, here's how we deliver exceptional results
Property Inspection
Goal setting
We walk your paddocks together to assess regrowth density, identify shade trees to keep, and understand your goals—whether grazing, hay production, or general land improvement.
Clearing Plan
Strategic approach
We map out areas to clear, trees to preserve, and fence lines to follow. You'll know exactly what will be cleared and what will remain before we start.
Mulching
Rapid transformation
Dense regrowth is mulched in a single pass, transforming years of neglect into cleared paddock in days. The mulch layer enriches soil for better pasture growth.
Finishing
Ready to graze
We create clean paddock edges, clear access tracks if needed, and leave your land ready for pasture improvement. Livestock can graze within 2-4 weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does paddock reclamation take?
Most paddocks can be cleared in 1-3 days depending on size and vegetation density. A typical 5-acre paddock with moderate regrowth takes about 1.5 days.
Will you preserve certain trees?
Absolutely! We can work around shade trees, feature trees, and any vegetation you want to keep. Many clients retain scattered eucalypts for shade and aesthetics.
Can you clear lantana-infested paddocks?
Yes, lantana-choked paddocks are one of our specialties. We mulch the lantana completely and the mulch layer helps suppress regrowth.
Can you create new fence lines?
We can clear defined fence line corridors for new fencing. Many clients combine paddock reclamation with fence line clearing for complete property improvement.
Can I graze livestock immediately after?
We recommend waiting 2-4 weeks for mulch to settle and any sharp material to break down before grazing. This also allows grass to begin regrowing.
What about old fencing buried in the regrowth?
We can work around known fence lines. If old wire is discovered, we stop and clear it manually before continuing to protect our equipment.
Will the mulch affect pasture regrowth?
The mulch layer actually benefits pasture by retaining moisture and adding nutrients. Grass typically regrows through mulch within 4-8 weeks.
What if there are old stumps in the paddock?
We can grind existing stumps to below ground level as part of the clearing process, leaving a cleaner paddock for mowing or slashing.
