Precision Land Clearing Services for Agriculture & Development

DST Machinery & Mechanical, based in Bairnsdale, VIC, provides expert land clearing services for rural, residential, and commercial properties across Victoria. With over 20 years of hands-on experience in the field, our locally owned and operated team delivers tailored solutions that help transform overgrown blocks into safe, functional spaces ready for building, grazing, or improved access. Whether you’re preparing for a subdivision or simply want to reclaim your land, we use purpose-built machinery to get the job done efficiently and with minimal environmental impact.

Site Preparation That Doesn’t Compromise the Soil

When preparing land for future development, it’s essential to clear it thoroughly without degrading its long-term viability. At DST Machinery & Mechanical, we specialise in predevelopment site cleans that go beyond simple bulldozing. Our methods are carefully chosen to avoid disturbing the natural topsoil and structure of the land, reducing the risk of erosion, runoff issues, and long-term instability.

We understand that every block is different; some may be thick with bracken and ferns, while others require large tree removal or careful clearing around boundaries. Our team takes a strategic approach to each job, using equipment like forestry mulchers, excavators, and slashing gear to match the conditions of your site. From rural subdivisions to house pad preps, we deliver clean, clear, and ready-to-use land with no shortcuts taken.

Vegetation Management for Invasive & Noxious Species

Invasive plants like blackberries and boxthorn can quickly take over even the best-maintained properties. At DST Machinery & Mechanical, we offer targeted vegetation management services designed to eliminate the root of the problem. Using our high-performance equipment, we reduce dense shrubs and thickets to mulch, giving you clean access to spray and treat regrowth directly at the root zone.

This not only improves the appearance and usability of your land but also creates safer and more manageable environments for livestock, machinery access, and future development. We can manage both one-off vegetation knockdowns and ongoing maintenance schedules depending on your property’s needs.

A Tailored Approach to Every Clearing Job

Our team works closely with landowners, developers, and farm managers to ensure every clearing project is approached with your long-term goals in mind. We assess each block carefully before recommending a clearing plan, considering factors like erosion risk, vegetation type, land gradient, and access points. We then carry out the work with skill, care, and respect for your property boundaries and environmental requirements.

DST Machinery & Mechanical is fully insured, family-run, and equipped to handle everything from a few acres of tangled undergrowth to large-scale commercial land clearing. We operate throughout Bairnsdale, VIC, and across Victoria.

Land Clearing Frequently Asked Questions

  • What’s the Difference Between Bulldozing & Forestry Mulching?

    Bulldozing often pushes vegetation aside or tears it from the ground, disturbing the topsoil and creating a risk of erosion. Forestry mulching, which we use for most clearing jobs, reduces plant matter into mulch on-site, leaving the soil largely undisturbed while improving water retention and soil health.

  • Can You Help With Council or Subdivision Requirements?

    Yes. If you're clearing land for a subdivision or working under council regulations, we can assist with compliant clearing methods and supply documentation as needed. Our experience includes collaboration with local authorities and environmental consultants.

  • How Long Does It Take to Clear a Block?

    Every job is different, depending on the size of the land, density of vegetation, and access conditions. Some blocks can be completed in a day, while others may take several days. We’ll always give you a clear estimate and project timeline upfront.

  • Do You Remove the Debris After Clearing?

    Forestry mulching leaves behind fine, ground mulch that returns nutrients to the soil. However, if you require full debris removal, such as large timber or invasive weed matter, we can arrange that as an additional service.
