Ironbark Vegetation Management is a Bendigo based land clearing and vegetation management outfit working Great Western and the wider Ararat district, all inside a 150km radius of home. Overgrown paddocks, scrub choked land, blackberry and gorse, Asset Protection Zones, fence lines, access tracks and driveways, we turn up with the right gear and get it done properly.
Ararat sits between the Grampians foothills and open grazing country, with bush-fringe homes, hobby properties and working farms all carrying fuel load into every summer. Ironbark Vegetation Management travels west from Bendigo for forestry mulching, paddock slashing, APZ clearing and blackberry removal. Fully insured, quoted on site, done to a written scope.
- 01Bush-fringe homes around Ararat, Moyston and the Grampians edge are in genuine high bushfire risk country. Defensible space maintained every season is the whole game.
- 02Blackberry and gorse hold in the gullies and along creek lines through the district. Mechanical mulching plus a spray follow-up is the standard approach.
- 03Long grass on hobby properties and town-edge acreage is the number one grassfire risk. Slashing through spring and early summer keeps you out of trouble.

Can you give me a price over the phone for a Great Western property?
No, and that is deliberate. Every property is different, growth, slope, access and what is hiding in the scrub all change the job. We come out, walk it with you, then quote in writing off a set scope.
How far ahead should I book for fire season?
Winter and early spring. By October the diary is full right across the Western Victoria district. Get your Asset Protection Zone and firebreak work booked before the Fire Danger Period starts.
