Gorse & Slash Mulching Challenges in Canterbury
Gorse and slash don't just look bad - they choke native growth, damage fences, block access, and create major fire risk during dry Canterbury summers. Gorse spreads fast and is nearly impossible to remove by hand or mower, while slash piles left after forestry jobs quickly become overgrown and dangerous. Burning requires permits and can be risky, while digging damages ground and brings new regrowth.
Finding qualified mulch suppliers and gorse mulching contractors proves difficult for Canterbury properties. Most landscaping companies lack heavy equipment for large-scale gorse and slash mulching on properties over 5 hectares. Coordinating separate contractors for gorse removal, slash clearing, and site cleanup wastes time and money. Meanwhile, gorse continues spreading, slash piles increase fire hazards with Selwyn District enforcing strict vegetation regulations, and overgrown land becomes unusable for grazing or development.
Our Gorse & Slash Mulching Approach
Our heavy equipment including mechanical mulching machinery handles gorse and slash mulching jobs suburban contractors refuse. As one contractor providing mulching, land clearing, and vegetation management, we complete projects efficiently. Our purpose-built mulchers grind gorse, broom, blackberry, and forestry slash into fine mulch that breaks down naturally on-site, leaving clean, workable surfaces ready for fencing, replanting, or grazing.

We serve Rolleston, Selwyn, Lincoln, Darfield, Ashburton, Banks Peninsula, and Christchurch suburbs, working across hill blocks, remote paddocks, and forestry edges.
