Firebreaks are mineral earth tracks, generally situated around the perimeter of a property and are a requirement by Local Governments, as per their Bushfire Control Notice. In some cases, it can prevent a fire from moving into surrounding parcels of land or in the unlikely event of a bushfire, a firebreak provides the safe access for fire and emergency vehicles.

A mineral earth firebreak can be achieved by various methods, the most common being cultivation with a rotary hoe. The best approach will be discussed prior to the commencement of an installation.

Where possible we use Flail mowers/mulchers as they provide a much nicer cut than traditional grass slashers. However, slashers have their place, where some terrains do not permit the use of flail mowers. Our combination of small front deck and large agricultural tractors allow us to access most areas.

A residential block slash is a process by which the grass is cut without collecting or removing the clippings. This must be done according to local council regulation and will lower fuel loads for any potential fire in a residential area.

A paddock slash is a process to cut grass on rural properties, similar to a block slash, this significantly reduce bushfire fuel loads across a large open area where strong winds can speed up a fire.

Weed spraying is an alternative control method to areas not easily accessible to machinery. Spraying can control weed growth for extended periods of time. Our chemicals are carefully chosen to suit the application and we are licensed by the Department of Health to carry out weed spraying activities.

We can customize a maintenance program that suits your property throughout the year or weed spraying on your request.
