Where we work
Based at 40 Austins Rd, Humevale, on Melbourne's northern fringe. We keep the working area tight on purpose: close enough to walk your block within the week, and close enough that a follow-up visit is never a problem.
Home. The shed, the gear and the first cup of tea of every job are here, so Humevale blocks get the shortest run and the fastest look. The country sits against the ranges, which means grass that jumps in spring and fire seasons everyone takes personally. Firebreaks, slashing and care plans are the bread and butter here, and if you're a neighbour, a walk-over costs you nothing but the phone call.
Lifestyle blocks and small farms where the paddocks meet the bush, and a town that knows what a bad fire season means. Fire Prevention Notice work, firebreaks, pre-season slashing and year-round care plans for owners who'd rather enjoy the view than maintain it. Close enough that a quick look is easy to book.
Bush blocks and clearings on the plateau, where fuel loads build fast and the fire-notice obligations are not theoretical. Firebreaks cut to your notice, heavy slashing, blackberry pushed back off fence lines, and clean-ups that keep the bush where it belongs. Book spring work early up here; the season moves quickly.
Same plateau country as Kinglake, same jobs done the same way: breaks, slashing, weed control and paddock clean-ups for blocks backing onto bush. We're on the Humevale side of the hill, so Kinglake West is one of our shortest runs.
Tucked against the forested rise of Mount Disappointment, Wandong blocks carry real fuel loads. Firebreaks cut to your notice, heavy slashing before the grass cures, and the dated photo record that shows compliance. If your boundary backs onto bush, book early; spring goes quickly.
Growing fast, and full of first-time acreage owners discovering that five hectares of spring grass has opinions. First-year sorting is our specialty here: slashing, weed programs, fence repairs, and care plans so the block never gets away again. Honest advice included, especially about what not to spend on yet.
Where the suburbs meet the paddocks. Plenty of Mernda properties still run a few acres out the back, and they need the same work as any block: slashing, fencing, weed control and tidy-ups that keep the place looking like the country it still is.
Lifestyle blocks and horse properties along the creek country. Paddock maintenance, equine-safe fence repairs, slashing and spot spraying, sized for smaller acreages and done tidily, because out here the neighbours notice.
Established acreages with good bones: post-and-rail entrances, horse paddocks, olive rows and native corners. Fencing that looks right for the property, scheduled mowing, and weed control done with a licence and a record.
Rolling grazing country ten minutes from the shed. Pasture renovation, hay off the better paddocks, fencing and firebreaks along the timbered gullies. One of our favourite runs and one of the quickest to book.
Bush blocks, steep corners and long fence lines through the trees. Clean-ups, mulching, firebreaks and fuel reduction are the mainstays, with fence repairs where the wallabies and fallen limbs have had their way.
Small acreages just over the hill from home, most with the same to-do list: spring slashing, a fire notice in the letterbox, capeweed in the paddock and a fence that needs a strain. We can usually fit Eden Park jobs in fast.
On the edge of the circle, or just outside it? Call anyway. If the job suits the run, we'll come. And further afield is coming; we're building the base close to home first.
