Ironbark Vegetation Management is a Bendigo based land clearing and vegetation management outfit working Cardigan and the wider Ballarat 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.
Ballarat and the surrounding rural residential country carry a mix of lifestyle properties, hobby farms and bush-fringe homes, all of it managing the same problems, thick scrub, declared weeds and long grass heading into fire season. Ironbark Vegetation Management travels out of Bendigo to cover Ballarat and the greater Central Highlands with forestry mulching, land clearing, slashing, blackberry and gorse removal, APZ work and property maintenance. On-site quote, written scope, done properly.
- 01Bush-fringe suburbs around Ballarat, including Buninyong, Invermay, Lake Wendouree and Cardigan, sit in high bushfire risk country. Long grass and unmanaged scrub is the difference between a defendable house and one the CFA has to walk past.
- 02Blackberry and gorse are widespread through the Central Highlands and are declared weeds under Victorian law. Mechanical clearing plus a follow-up spray plan is the standard approach.
- 03Ballarat sits on old goldfields country that clears well but reverts fast without maintenance. A yearly slash and a mulching pass every couple of years usually keeps a property in hand.

Cardigan, asked and answered.
Do you work in Cardigan?
Yes. Cardigan sits inside our regular patch, within about 150km of Bendigo, and we are through the Ballarat district most weeks. Send your address and what you are dealing with and we will book an on-site look.
What sort of jobs do you do around Cardigan?
Forestry mulching, land clearing, paddock and acreage slashing, blackberry and gorse removal, Asset Protection Zones and fire season prep, fence lines, access tracks, driveway renovations and track grading, storm, fire and flood cleanup, and general earthworks and excavation.
Can you give me a price over the phone for a Cardigan 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 Central Highlands district. Get your Asset Protection Zone and firebreak work booked before the Fire Danger Period starts.
