    Our Bendigo base. Your property.

    Bendigo based, working Amherst.

    Vegetation management for larger properties, farms and commercial land: mulching scrub, cutting grass, clearing access and preparing for fire season, with ongoing maintenance where needed. We're Bendigo based and assess travel to Amherst around the size and scope of the job. The working area, method and finish are agreed on-site before work begins.

    The Central Goldfields around Maryborough and Dunolly are old cleared country that has spent the last century quietly reverting to scrub. A lot of properties have been left alone for years, sometimes decades, and the result is thick regrowth, blackberry, gorse and serrated tussock spreading unchecked. Ironbark Vegetation Management resets these properties, forestry mulching for the thick stuff, land clearing for the pre-build and pre-sale jobs, slashing for the paddocks. We give you back land you can actually walk through.

    • 01Maryborough, Dunolly, Talbot, Carisbrook and Bealiba sit on Box Ironbark goldfields country that clears well but reverts fast without maintenance. Once every few years is not enough, once a year keeps it in hand.
    • 02Serrated tussock is spreading through Central and Western Victoria and is a declared noxious weed. Mechanical clearing opens dense tussock so follow-up treatment, arranged separately with a weed contractor, can be effective.
    • 03A lot of properties out here are inherited or absentee owned. If you are managing a property from Melbourne, we send photos before, during and after so you know exactly what has been done.

    Can you give me a price over the phone for a Amherst property?

    How far ahead should I book for fire season?

    Winter and early spring. By October the diary is full right across the Central Victoria district. Get your Asset Protection Zone and firebreak work booked before the Fire Danger Period starts.
