Section Clearing

No section too big, too steep, or too overgrown.

If your section has got away from you, you’re not alone. Queenstown’s climate is brilliant for growing things, including broom, gorse, blackberry, and rank grass that can take over a section surprisingly fast.

Section clearing

We’ve cleared well over 100 sections across the Queenstown area over the past 20 years, including some of the steeper, trickier sections on the hills above town that other contractors won’t touch.

What we clear

The most common culprits on Queenstown sections are broom, gorse, blackberry, and long rank grass, all of which spread fast and become a much bigger job the longer they’re left. We also handle general overgrowth, scrub, self-seeded trees, and anything else that’s taken hold on a neglected section.

No two sections are the same, and we approach each job based on what’s actually there, the slope, the vegetation, the access, and what you want to do with the section afterwards.

Why it matters beyond appearances

An overgrown section isn’t just unsightly, it’s a fire risk, particularly through the dry Queenstown summers when broom and gorse become tinder-dry. It can also attract complaints from neighbours and, in some cases, attention from the council. Keeping your section under control is an obligation as well as an investment in the property.

What we use

We bring the right equipment for the job, high-powered brushcutters, chainsaws, and chippers where needed. For larger or steeper sections we have machinery capable of handling serious vegetation without hand-clearing every square metre. We also provide before and after photos for every job, so you have a clear record of the work completed, particularly useful for insurance, council compliance, or overseas owners.

What happens after clearing

A cleared section doesn’t stay cleared on its own. Once the initial work is done, we’ll recommend a practical maintenance plan, usually a combination of follow-up spraying and periodic cutting, to keep weeds and regrowth under control on an ongoing basis. It’s far cheaper to maintain than to clear from scratch again in two years.

Who we work with

We clear sections for homeowners, property investors, developers preparing land for a build, real estate agents getting a property ready for sale, and property managers who need a neglected section brought up to standard quickly. Whatever the reason, we’ll give you a straightforward quote and get the job done efficiently.

Our team can tackle anything!

Over the last 20yrs we have cleared around 100 sections. Most have been covered in Broom, Gorse, Blackberry and tall grass. We can tackle it all.

We have a range of machinery to assist us, from big high powered brushcutters, to chainsaws and occasionally chippers.  Its good to keep on top of your section to alleviate the risk of fire and perhaps more importantly, keep your neighbours happy!  Once cleared we can recommend a good maintenance schedule that will control the weeds and shrubs on a permanent basis.
