Paddock Reclamation Services

Reclaim your overgrown paddocks and put them back to work. Our tracked flail mower quickly cuts down years of grass, lantana, and woody regrowth, turning neglected land into usable pasture.

Benefits of Paddock Reclamation

Restore overgrown paddocks to productive use within days, reclaiming ground lost to years of regrowth

Cut down years of grass and woody regrowth in a single pass — far faster than slashing, raking, and burning

Improve carrying capacity by removing the woody weeds that crowd out pasture and harbour pests and ticks

Add real value and usability to rural properties by opening up grazing area and access immediately

Mulched material is left to break down into the soil, adding organic matter for healthier pasture

Reaches the steep, soft, and awkward corners of a block that a tractor and slasher cannot safely cover

Strategic approach

We map the areas to mow, trees to preserve, and fence lines to follow, so you know exactly what will be cleared before we start.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does paddock reclamation take?

Most paddocks are done in 1-2 days depending on size and density. A typical few-acre paddock with moderate regrowth takes around a day.

Will you preserve certain trees?

Absolutely. We mow around shade trees, feature trees, and anything you want to keep — many clients retain scattered eucalypts.

Can you clear lantana-infested paddocks?

Yes — lantana-choked paddocks are a speciality. We mow it right down and the mulch helps suppress regrowth.

Can you mow new fence-line corridors?

Yes. We can mow clear corridors for new fencing, and many clients combine this with paddock reclamation.

Can I graze livestock straight after?

We recommend a short wait for the mulch to settle and grass to start regrowing before grazing. We will advise based on the condition of your block.

What about old fencing buried in the regrowth?

We work around known fence lines. If old wire is found, we stop and clear it by hand before continuing, to protect the machine.

Will the mulch affect pasture?

The light mulch layer benefits pasture by retaining moisture and adding organic matter as it breaks down. Grass regrows through it.

What about old stumps in the paddock?

The flail mows vegetation, not stumps. We work around existing stumps; stump removal would need separate equipment.
