FROM BLACKBERRY JUNGLE TO NATIVE FOREST

Preparing land for a native tree planting project can be a massive headache — especially when you are staring down a wall of thick, stubborn blackberry. But no job is too tough for the right gear! 💪

The Draffan Tree Services Ltd team recently tackled this site clearance here in Wainui Beach, Gisborne, using our specialised steep slope mulcher. Because it operates via remote control, we could safely clear the dense overgrowth and heavy blackberry on coastal terrain, significantly reducing the risk to an operator compared to traditional machinery, while ensuring minimal ground disturbance.

The result? The dense pest weeds are completely mulched down, returning nutrients to the soil and leaving a clean, perfectly prepared blank canvas for the new native trees to thrive.

Got an overgrown block, steep hillside, or commercial planting project that needs clearing safely and efficiently?

Today, I obtained a new hard lid for the back of the work ute and think our two labradors like it more than I do.

A productive Saturday! Unfortunately, removal was arranged for this large tree (Lily Pilly) due to extensive damage from broken and hanging branches, poor unions, and significant rot and decay. The tree was carefully dismantled, with branches lowered in a controlled manner, and the footpath was closed to ensure public safety. For inquiries, please contact Stewart at 0225645944.
