Remote-controlled forest mulching that grinds gorse, scrub, and standing timber into nutrient mulch on grades up to 55 degrees, with the operator safe on level ground the whole time.

Mulching is the fastest way to take a wild, overgrown bank back to clean, usable ground. Instead of cutting vegetation and hauling it away, our mulchers grind everything in place, from soft gorse and blackberry through to woody scrub and small standing trees, leaving a fine layer of mulch behind. One pass clears the slope and finishes it at the same time.
Because the whole job happens in a single operation, there are no burn piles, no green-waste truck runs, and no follow-up cleanup. The mulch settles into the soil, holds moisture, and slows the regrowth of the very weeds we just removed. It is faster than a hand crew, safer than a ride-on, and kinder to the land than spraying or burning.

Before & After
Once a slope passes about 20 degrees, ordinary gear stops being safe. Ride-on mowers lose traction and tip, hand crews with brushcutters work in genuinely dangerous conditions, and excavators with mulching heads can struggle to stay planted. The work either gets quoted around, done at real risk to people, or left until the gorse and scrub have taken over completely.
Our tracked, low-ground-pressure mulchers were built for exactly this. They are steered by remote from stable ground, so the operator is never on the bank itself, and their weight and grip let them hold a line where a person could not safely stand.
Contact Us TodaySlope mulching covers a wide range of jobs. Here is where it earns its keep across the kind of sites we work on every week.
Mature gorse, broom, and mixed scrub ground flat in a single pass, turning years of unchecked growth into a clean, mulched surface ready to move on from.
Thorny blackberry thickets and tangled vine that choke fence lines and gullies, mulched right back to ground level so the regrowth cycle is broken.
Small trees, self-sown wildings, and overgrown shelterbelts taken down and mulched on the spot, clearing sightlines and reclaiming lost paddock.
Strategic clearing of fuel-heavy vegetation to open firebreaks around homes, sheds, and boundaries, reducing the load that carries a fire across your land.
Sensitive stream and drain edges cleared without heavy ground disturbance, keeping access open while leaving the bank structure intact.
Road reserves, stopbanks, and public reserves kept clear of invasive growth, with the safety record and reporting that council contracts require.
Overgrown sections brought back to usable, walkable land, opening up views and grazing that had disappeared under scrub over the seasons.
Building sites and subdivision blocks cleared of vegetation ahead of survey, fencing, or earthworks, giving your contractors a clean start.
Every machine is remote-controlled, so the operator works from level, stable ground. The dangerous part of the job is handled by the machine, not a person.
Cutting and mulching happen together. The slope is cleared and tidied in the same operation, with nothing left to rake, cart, or burn afterwards.
Tracked, low-ground-pressure machines purpose-built for steep terrain, holding their footing where wheeled gear and hand crews simply cannot work.
The mulch feeds the soil, holds moisture, and slows regrowth. No burn scars, no chemical drift, and no green waste sent off to landfill.
We work the North Island’s terrain every day and know how its slopes, soils, and weed pressure behave through the seasons.
Most slope mulching jobs follow a simple path from first call to finished site:
