GORSE MULCHING AND SLASHING
This was an infestation of Gorse on top of an old mining mulloch heap and tailings area.
Some of the gorse was so high it dwarfed our equipment.
The small pile of dead gorse at the front of this photo took the landholder 6 hours with a brush cutter.

This is the site as work progresses.
The mullock heap (seen as a small hill) - was reduced in size to assist with future control.
You can see the excavator on the hill - just.
The tailings area was flattened out.

This is the final view.
It is now easy for the landowner to follow up control of the gorse and maintain the area.
It is recommended to follow up with chemical spraying and to revegetate the area.
Always remember to read the label and follow the instructions carefully before using any chemical.

Blackberry Mulching and Slashing
This is the BEFORE photo.
This is the AFTER photo.
Blackberries have a lot of growth underground so follow up spraying as soon as the plant starts to leaf again is required to eradicate this weed.
The mulching process makes spraying more easily performed, but will not eradicate the infestation.

Fencing
The clients wanted an unobtrusive front boundary fence.
They wanted the gate to stay open with the option to close it.
We installed a support for the gate to rest on while it sits flush with the fence and out of the way.

The fence crosses a creek - clearance was left and the wires were tied to release easily should a flood event occur.
