Reap the rewards

By Mitch Gaynor

DON’T let Lantana get the better of your property.

Forestfarmer is a local family-owned business that has been providing contracting and consulting services in re-vegetation and forest establishment for over 30 years.

The company has a unique background and broad practical experience in areas such as revegetation, farm and commercial forestry, and property planning.

With the changing land use in rural areas, Forestfarmer understands the challenges faced by property owners who are often less experienced.

Weeds such as lantana can quickly dominate areas that are difficult to manage, such as hillsides, gullies, creek lines, overgrown access tracks, fence lines, and areas of remnant vegetation. Forestfarmer offers a range of services aimed at sensitively accessing overgrown areas to uncover hidden possibilities. They mulch the rough stuff so you can maintain with ease, enhance diversity and ecology, and create ease of maintenance for better enjoyment.

Forestfarmer owner, Rob Tap, said “It is important to try and get on top of weed control before it gets out of hand. We pride ourselves on being able to get on top of the most overgrown areas as efficiently and environmentally sensitively as possible.”

Using the hillside tractor with the scrubclaw, their services include lantana and woody weed control, paddock mulching, including hillsides, dam walls, and driveway verges, reclaiming fence lines and boundaries, overgrown tracks, natural areas for revegetation and restoration, slopes for grazing, and firebreaks prior to fire hazard reduction burns.

One of the key advantages of choosing Forestfarmer over other companies is the unique scrub claw and flail mulcher combination, which removes whole plants like lantana, berries, and wild tobacco by the roots and mulches them.

This results in much less regrowth later, making their services more effective and efficient.

Their aim is to help unveil the hidden gems and soulful sanctuaries of your property and assist you in implementing projects that expose the “lay of the land” to assist with property planning.

If you are a property owner facing challenges with land use changes, weeds, and overgrown areas, Forestfarmer can provide you with the right solutions.

Their experience, unique approach, and range of services can help you create a more enjoyable and sustainable property. Call Rob today on 0418 786 143 or 5494 4746.
