Our Services

Weed Spraying

Weed Spraying

A Trans Tank International 600lt spray unit, with twin retractable hoses, is our choice of equipment so we can service remote areas in the elimination of noxious weeds. 

We are able to access steep terrain on foot utilising the 150m hose with the ability to extend to 300m if required.

This allows for property weed management, roadside spraying, or for more remote spraying allowing us to walk to the site with minimal ground disturbance.

​

Do you have a smaller job that needs weed control? BMLS are adaptive, we also offer services for more sensitive or smaller weed control jobs.

​

With an understanding of the importance of our native flora, we are able to identify and tread carefully to protect our environment.

​

Director, Edan Brennan has a chemical user licence and is able to work commercially for both private and government clients. 

Fire Break Construction

Bulldozer, firebreak construction

Bushfires can move rapidly, often until you are in the line of a fire or watching from the sidelines do you realise how quickly they move. 

​

With the use of a bulldozer or skid steer, BMLS offer the service of fire break construction.

​

These works are conducted in the lead up to the fire season and may add protection to your property.  While this method can help to slow the fire, there are many other contributing factors for a fire that can impact, such as weather or ferocity of the fire itself. 

​

BMLS are happy to discuss this when providing a free quote for works.

Property and Fenceline Clearing

Fenceline clearing

Do you have a big property or a smaller sized block?

​

Property and fence line clearing is offered with a chainsaw in hand, or by using machinery for the larger jobs.  Depending on the work required. 

​

It’s important that properties are clear of debris, not only to reduce fire risk but for the functionality of the property.  

Often properties adjoining bushland see damage on fences from storms, including strong winds and floods, , droughts or animals.  Fallen trees or debris can often cause breaks in fences where stock can get out. 

​

Edan is a skilled and accredited chainsaw operator and is able to clear a fence line in record time.  The added benefit BMLS can offer is, that works can also include fence repair if the tree has caused damage.

​

Vegetation Rehabilitation

Vegetation Rehabilitation

Bushfire Mitigation and Land Services support the rehabilitation of native vegetation.

​

Linking in with environmental professionals, we work together to revegetate land pairing the correct vegetation for climate and area, taking into consideration specific site conditions and local regulations.

​

Often following weed management services, vegetation rehabilitation is another service we can offer to help our environment be returned to its natural state and eliminate introduced species.

Storm Recovery Works

Storms can have devastating effects and leave mess in their wake.

​

BMLS can provide services to assist in the clean-up from storms.  Using machinery to move debris can be an effective way to clear roads, fence lines or gully systems on property. 

 

Our Hydraulic log grab is able to efficiently pick up large fallen trees and relocate with ease.

​

Chainsaw services are offered to clear fallen wood from fence lines or roads.

​

Roads can often be affected by flooding, BMLS are able to operate a dozer to recover roads and return to their former glory.

Mulching Mowing & Slashing Vegetation

Mulching Mowing & Slashing

BMLS mitigate the risk of bushfires by reducing fuel loads. Mulching, mowing and slashing have proven to be highly effective methods for achieving this goal and safeguarding our communities.

​

BMLS own and operate a Fecon Mulcher which runs from a skid steer.   This mulcher is designed for clearing property, fence lines and reserves within North East Victoria, the mulcher can mulch grasses, vegetation and mulches to a consistent chip size.

​

The Fecon attachment has the ability to clear 1 acre in 1 hour, this attachment can be used on reserves, private property, and along roadsides providing clear fire breaks or clearing vegetation for a bigger purpose.

 

At Bushfire Mitigation and Land Services we continue to assess the land we operate on, for environmental impact and to ensure that cultural heritage areas remain undisturbed.

​

We use a diverse array of grass mowing equipment, including whipper snippers and small lawn mowers, alongside our 50-inch zero-turn mower.  We may also operate skid steer with slasher attachment for larger works.

Planned Burn Preparation

Planned burn preparation

Director, Edan Brennan is experienced in burn preparation.  Having worked in emergency management for many years, Edan is a strong advocate for preparing well for a planned burn and protecting the assets, protecting native flora and fauna and reducing the fire risk for properties and bushland.

​

Many plant species have evolved to depend on periodic fires for their survival and regeneration. Planned burns can help to control invasive species, promote the growth of fire-adapted plants, and maintain our biodiversity.

​

BMLS will work for you to plan and implement measures to prepare ahead of a controlled burn that would be undertaken by fire authorities.  Please note that BMLS will not undertake the burn itself, but assist in preparing your land ahead of the planned burn. 

 

Services we offer in this space include:

  • Control line preparation

  • Hazardous tree mitigation

  • Pre and post burn assessments

  • Vegetation management

 

BMLS note that planned burning should always be carried out with careful planning involving local fire authorities.

Contact BMLS to prepare private or public land for planned burning.

The stump grinder attachment can be used on a skid steer for the smaller jobs providing minimal ground disturbance for the more environmentally sensitive jobs.
