    Tree Topping

    The shear can handle trees up tp 900mm in diameter and cut and remove crowns from trees up to 9m from ground level.

    This is perfect for confined spaces because of its controlled cut-and-grab capabilities.

  • Heavy Duty Tilling

    we offer powerful heavy-duty tilling services designed to break through compacted soil, uproot deep-rooted vegetation, and prepare land for farming, planting, or development. Using robust, purpose-built machinery, we work efficiently across all terrain types — from hard clay to rocky ground.

    Our tilling service is ideal for site preparation, firebreak creation, pasture regeneration, or reclaiming overgrown blocks. By combining this with our mulching and land clearing capabilities, we deliver complete ground transformation — turning rough, unusable land into clean, workable ground.
