Gorse Spraying
Gorse spraying is a vital agricultural technique for managing the invasive gorse shrub. It entails the precise application of herbicides or pesticides to control gorse growth while protecting surrounding vegetation and ecosystems, helping maintain land productivity and biodiversity.

Scrub Cutting
Scrub cutting is a land management technique that involves cutting and removing dense, woody vegetation using specialized equipment. It serves various purposes like preventing wildfires, improving grazing areas, and enhancing recreational spaces, contributing to the maintenance of balanced ecosystems and human land use.

Variegated Thistle Weed control
Variegated Thistle can spread uncontrollably through pasture and farmland and is considered a noxious weed in New Zealand. Clumps of thistle can grow to a huge size which can impact on crop yield and livestock. Regular weed spraying can help you control the impact to your property.

Let’s talk about Gorse
The reasons why you might want to control the gorse on your property.
AGRICULTURAL COSTS
Farmers and landowners incur significant costs in managing and controlling gorse infestations. This includes the expense of herbicides, machinery, and labor required for effective gorse control.
FIRE HAZARD
Gorse is highly flammable and poses a significant fire risk, especially during dry seasons. Gorse fires can devastate large areas of land, threaten homes, and harm wildlife.
STOCK & AGRICULTURE
Gorse can significantly reduce the productivity of agricultural land by displacing valuable pasture species. Its spiky nature makes it unpalatable for many livestock, reducing the available forage. Gorse can also interfere with farm operations and access.

A little background on our company, our experience and why we do what we do.
Over the past 18 years, we’ve dedicated ourselves to refining our company, making it highly efficient and cost-effective in the field of noxious weed control. The key to successful spraying lies in achieving optimal plant coverage and utilizing the correct chemicals. After experimenting with various spraying methods, we’ve found that mistblowers consistently deliver the best results.
Our commitment extends beyond just the equipment we use; we’ve carefully selected and invested in a skilled workforce capable of tackling the demanding nature of this work. Additionally, we’ve upgraded our vehicles, modifying side-by-sides and ATVs to meet our specific needs. Equipping our team with headset radios ensures seamless communication, facilitating coordinated efforts and minimizing downtime.
Our track record speaks for itself. Our unparalleled efficiency and expertise enable us to complete jobs with exceptional precision. We’ve even helped farmers reduce their weed spray bills by half while effectively controlling twice as much gorse compared to previous contractors they’ve worked with.
Covering all weed control, we offer spot clearing, general control of weeds, fence line spraying and scrub cutting (land clearing). We also cover most areas in the lower north island.
In summary, our success in delivering cost-effective and efficient weed control can be attributed to three critical factors:
- Employing dedicated and hardworking staff
- Equipping our team with the right tools, including radios and well-modified vehicles
- Maintaining a high level of knowledge and skill in our field, ensuring every job is done to perfection
