When it comes to slope mowing in Auckland, standard ride-on mowers and hand tools simply aren’t enough. Slope Mowing NZ specialises in professional steep terrain mowing, tackling the challenging banks, hillsides, and overgrown gullies that other contractors turn down.
Before & After
Our slope mulching service uses remote-controlled forest mulchers to grind gorse, blackberry, scrub, and standing timber into fine mulch in a single pass on grades up to 55°. This is the most comprehensive approach to clearing dense vegetation and invasive weeds.
Before & After
Our slope mowing service uses light and heavy-duty flail mowers to keep grass in check across steep terrain. This is perfect for ongoing maintenance and regular grass cutting on difficult-access land.
Before & After
Our comprehensive land clearing service reclaims unusable land and restores properties that have been taken over by thick vegetation. We clear overgrown blocks, old shelterbelts, and pest-plant infestations down to workable ground, then mulch the debris in place.
Remote Mulchers Built to Climb What Crews Can’t
Tracked, low-ground-pressure, and steered by remote from level ground, our mulchers hold their footing and keep working where slopes reach 55°.
Energreen RoboMAX is a robust forestry mulcher that can easily work in different tasks and works. The standard equipment includes two hydraulic double-effect functions.
Designed to satisfy the most different needs, Energreen RoboMAX can be defined as a multifunctional remote controlled machine, with power and performance comparable to a traditional tractor with several attachments.

Gorse, blackberry, pampas, wilding pines, and other invaders spread fast and choke out good ground. We target each one with the right machine and method, opening sites back up and giving native planting and pasture the room to recover.
Dense, spiny, and quick to reseed, gorse swallows paddocks within a few seasons. Our mulchers grind mature stands flat in one pass and turn the prickle into ground cover.
Thorny canes that root wherever they touch down, blackberry forms impassable thickets along fences and gullies. We mulch the lot to ground level and break the cycle of regrowth.
Running bamboo sends shoots metres from the parent clump and shrugs off hand tools. We cut and mulch the canes, then work the rhizome zone so it loses its grip on the ground.
Self-sown conifers march across hillsides and crowd out native bush and tussock. We fell and mulch young wildings before they seed, stopping the spread at the source.
Vigorous and mat-forming, kikuyu smothers pasture and garden beds alike once it gets away. We knock back heavy growth and reset the surface so desirable species can compete again.
A fast-growing toxic shrub spread by birds, woolly nightshade shades out everything beneath it. We clear and mulch stands before the berries set and seed the next generation.
Steep slopes and difficult-access terrain present unique challenges for property owners. Overgrown banks don’t just look untidy—they pose serious safety risks, harbour pests and invasive weeds, and can reduce property value. Traditional approaches often fall short.
Our professional slope mowing services solve these problems with specialised equipment, trained operators, and proven methods that deliver lasting results.
From the first site visit to ongoing care, we guide you through every stage — using specialised equipment and proven methods that deliver safe, lasting results on even the steepest ground.
We evaluate the terrain gradient, vegetation type, density, and any special considerations, then recommend the right equipment and provide an accurate quote.
Based on the assessment, we select the optimal remote-controlled mulcher or mower. The right equipment makes all the difference in achieving excellent results safely.
Our trained operators clear vegetation, mulch debris in place, and leave your property tidy, working efficiently while maintaining the highest safety standards.
Many clients benefit from ongoing programs. We set up regular slope mowing schedules to keep your property looking its best and stop weeds re-establishing.

About Us
Slope Mowing NZ was built around one problem: too much New Zealand land is too steep to manage safely. Ride-on mowers tip, hand crews struggle, and the work either gets skipped or gets dangerous. We invested in remote-controlled mulchers so the operator stays on stable ground while the machine does the climbing.
From council reserves and dam walls to lifestyle blocks and farm gullies, we take on the jobs others quote around. Every site gets a straight assessment, the right machine for the grade, and a finish that lasts, with no one ever put at risk on a bank that should not be walked.
Specialist machines, a safety-first method, and local crews who know North Island terrain, the reasons councils, contractors, and landowners call us for the slopes nobody else will touch
Don’t just take our word for it – hear from landowners and councils across the North Island.
Our remote-controlled mulchers are designed to operate safely on gradients up to 55 degrees. This covers virtually all residential and commercial terrain in New Zealand. We assess each site individually to ensure safe operation.
Absolutely. Our remote-controlled approach keeps operators safely on level ground while the machine does the climbing. This eliminates the risk of falls, equipment rollovers, and operator injury—the primary hazards of traditional slope mowing methods.
Unlike traditional chipping or burning, we mulch all cleared vegetation in place. The fine mulch feeds the soil, improves water retention, and naturally suppresses regrowth. This eco-friendly approach means no green waste disposal costs and no environmental concerns from burning.
Yes. We specialise in invasive weed control and noxious weed removal. Our mulching approach not only removes the current infestation but suppresses future growth by creating an unfavourable environment for regrowth.
We work on both. Our services are ideal for residential steep sections, lifestyle blocks, commercial properties, council reserves, and utility corridors. If you have a slope that needs professional attention, we can help.
We’re based in Auckland and work right across the North Island, including Auckland, Northland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Hawke’s Bay, and Taranaki. We regularly travel to serve clients across the region.
