Vegetation Management
At JL Contracting we have the experience, expertise and equipment to service the needs of the larger property owner. From the small Rural Residential on the outskirts of town to large Rural Properties we can work to bring things under control whether it be the eradication of identified weeds, selective clearing for pasture, cleaning up fence lines or simply maintaining your home block for your enjoyment.
There are a range of methods, or measures, available. Time is taken to give careful consideration to environmental conditions, terrain, location of the site and the task at hand before the method, or measure, is chosen. Control methods may include, but are not limited to, the use of Herbicides and or Mechanical Removal eg: Mowing and Brush Cutting. In some situations it can be necessary to develop a multi-control program to ensure the most effective result.
Our passion is to deliver compliant outcomes, on time, and within budget.

Brush Cutting / Pole saw / Whipper Snipping / Chainsaw
There are sites that are not suited to the use of machinery. The site might be too steep, rocky, have limited access or the job is not big enough to warrant the cost of bringing in larger machines. In these cases a brushcutter, or whipper snipper, may be the only solution.
It may be the case that access needs to be gained in a sensitive area to allow larger equipment in with minimal harm/impact on the surrounds…..this is where the experienced JL team can help. We have field staff trained in the use Polesaw and Chainsaw and, most importantly, are not scared of hard work. This methodology can be used to clear overhanging branches and assist in the removal / trimming / pruning of shrubs and trees to gain access as required.
