Slashing — Benefit: reduce fire hazards by removing dry vegetation, controls weeds promoting healthier growth. After a wet Queensland summer the grass gets away fast — and by the time bushfire season rolls around, what was paddock is now fuel. Regular slashing keeps it under control, protects assets and meets council fire-load expectations.
Kustom Contracting slashes paddocks, lifestyle blocks, acreage, fence-lines, firebreaks, roadsides, vacant land and overgrown properties across Brisbane and Samford, Kilcoy and Somerset Dam, the Sunshine Coast Hinterland and Maleny, the Lockyer Valley, and south into Canungra, Byron Bay and Bangalow. Cutting weeds before they seed gives pasture, crops and lawn grasses a chance to push through and dominate, instead of being smothered by lantana, fireweed or summer thistle.
We bring our own gear, our own operators and the right machine for the block — from tight acreage near houses to large rural runs where coverage per day matters most.
