Common Heavy-Duty Tilling Problems in Canterbury
Canterbury soil gets compacted fast on lifestyle blocks that were once farmed or left fallow. Over time, roots, weeds, clay pans, and gorse slash make the top layer almost impossible to work with. Planting struggles, drainage worsens, and machinery can't break through compacted ground. Standard tillers or hired equipment aren't powerful enough to make real difference on properties over 2 hectares.
Finding qualified mulch suppliers and tilling contractors proves difficult for rural Canterbury properties. Most landscaping companies lack heavy-duty tilling equipment for large-scale work on lifestyle blocks and farms. Coordinating separate contractors for tilling, land clearing, and vegetation management wastes time and delays planting schedules. Meanwhile, compacted soil prevents proper pasture growth, limits productive land use, and creates drainage problems that worsen each Canterbury winter.

As one contractor providing tilling, land clearing, earthworks and mulching, we complete projects efficiently.
