Farm & Paddock Clearing.
What This Means
Farm ground cleared, reopened and kept in productive use.
Scrub creeps in from the fence lines, laneways close up and paddocks lose ground every year it's left. We clear it back so the land carries stock, crop or machinery again.
Paddock regrowth, overgrown laneways, fence lines ready for new fencing, old tree lines and rough corners — scoped together on one site visit.
We supply the right machinery for the job. You tell us what the ground needs to do next, we work out the method.
Bendigo based, working across Central Victoria, and Victoria-wide for larger-scale projects. See land clearing and acreage slashing for related work.
The Challenge
Returning Paddocks To Productive Use.
Returning paddocks to productive use is methodical work. Most carry a history that has to be dealt with along the way.
- 01
Persistent Regrowth
Clearing scrub once, without follow-up, returns the same problem within seasons. Clearing is planned with regrowth in mind — mulch retained to slow it, and a plan agreed for what follows.
- 02
Wet Corners and Low-Lying Ground
Areas that never fully dry out are left for suitable conditions, or worked with equipment suited to soft ground, rather than torn up in the wet.
- 03
Disused Yards and Dump Sites
Old stockyards and dumps conceal wire, concrete and scrap. They are located, cleared and cleaned rather than worked back into the paddock.
- 04
Established Pasture Protection
Clearing scrub is not scraping the paddock. Working paddock by paddock preserves the grazing ground already in use.
- 05
Overgrown Laneways and Fence Lines
Lanes closed over by years of growth are cut back to a usable width, not trimmed at the edges.
Solutions
What we can do for you.
We supply the right machinery for the job. You tell us what the land needs, we work out the method.
Paddock Regrowth
Scrub and saplings pushed back out of grazing ground.
Laneways
Overgrown stock and machinery lanes opened up.
Fence Line Prep
Lines cleared ready for new fencing.
Tree Line Clearing
Old or unwanted tree lines cleared and mulched.
Rough Corners
Unused ground brought back into the paddock.
Seasonal Slashing
Paddocks cut back ahead of fire season.
Whole-Farm Programs
Clearing, slashing and regrowth control planned across the whole property, paddock by paddock.
Machinery
Choosing the right machinery for the job.
Machinery selection is based on the vegetation, site access and the finish agreed with you.
Our experienced operators use machinery and attachments suited to the work. We assess the site and confirm the equipment and method before work begins.
Tractors
Slashers
Tracked skid steers
Mulching and brushcutter attachments
Before You Decide
Plan the work around the farm.
Stock, seasons and ground conditions set the timing.
Arrange a site visit →- 01Stock need to be moved off the working area before we start.
- 02Wet ground is left alone. We won't cut up a paddock to hit a date.
- 03Native vegetation, roadside and overlay rules still apply on farmland. Check before clearing.
- 04Regrowth and weeds usually need a follow-up plan after the first clear.
Common Questions
Farm & Paddock Clearing, asked and answered.
How are farm biosecurity and machinery clean-down managed?
Tell us about declared weeds, crop disease risks and the farm biosecurity plan before scheduling work. Agree entry routes, clean-down requirements, movement between paddocks and handling of weed-bearing material. Site-specific requirements are confirmed before machinery enters; clearing does not eradicate the seed bank.
Can work be staged around stock and farm operations?
Yes, where the site allows. We agree the paddock sequence, stock movements, access gates and exclusions around cropping or other operations. Livestock must be kept outside the active work area, and access or seasonal changes may alter the schedule.
Can native paddock trees and shelterbelts be removed?
Removal is assessed against approvals and the agreed work area, not treated as automatically permitted farmland maintenance. Native trees, regrowth and shelterbelt vegetation may be protected. Confirm planning and habitat requirements before including them in a clearing scope.
What agricultural work do you take on?
Paddock regrowth, overgrown laneways, fence-line clearing, old tree lines, rough corners and seasonal slashing on working farms. Each job is walked and scoped in writing before work starts.
Can you clear a fence line before new fencing goes in?
Yes. We clear the line to the width agreed so the fencing contractor can get straight to work. Boundaries and anything that stays are marked on the walk-through.
Do you quote over the phone?
No. We come out, walk the property with you and put the scope and price in writing before anything starts.
Do you spray weeds as well?
Not yet. Commercial weed spraying needs a Commercial Operator Licence (COL) from Agriculture Victoria and Ironbark is arranging it now — spraying starts once the licence is in hand. Mechanical clearing and slashing are available today, and chemical follow-up can be arranged with a licensed contractor in the meantime.
