Our robotic mulchers can handle gradients up to 50 degrees and can mulch material up to 8” in diameter. They make light work of steep scrub clearance.
Scrub clearance, a critical component of vegetation management, involves transforming land overwhelmed by scrub into areas fostering biodiversity. While this task can be hazardous, our expertise in steep slope safety and erosion control ensures the protection of both people and properties.
Landmarc is able to carry out scrub clearance in a wide range of conditions. This is by means of a variety of mechanical methods. We are careful to follow our client’s vegetation management plans when clearing gorse, bramble, and other scrub material. This ensures that important habitats are not disturbed and are able to thrive.
At Landmarc, we excel in managing land clearance on challenging terrains. Our state-of-the-art remote-controlled McConnell RoboPower and RoboCut Robotic Mulchers are a game-changer, capable of navigating slopes up to 50 degrees and processing material up to 8″ in diameter. This technology not only enhances efficiency in tackling robust scrub but also elevates the safety of our operations, ensuring cost-effective and reliable scrub clearance solutions. The significance of using the right equipment for steep slope scrub clearance cannot be overstated. Inappropriate machinery can turn this task into a perilous endeavour. Our Robotic Mulchers, coupled with stringent safety measures like winch systems, guarantees not only the safety of our team but also the preservation of surrounding habitats. This meticulous approach is pivotal in maintaining steep slope safety and promoting habitat diversity.
We also tackle the toughest terrain with our high-performance forestry tractor and excavators, equipped with a heavy-duty mulching head designed to clear brush, stumps, and undergrowth with unmatched efficiency and precision.
Another key piece of kit is our smaller tractor. Dominate both dense undergrowth and tight terrain with the Antonio Carraro TRX 7800S fitted with a high‑performance mulching head—and thanks to its RGS™ reversible driving system, we can swivel the driver’s seat and controls 180° to run the tractor with the front facing our work.
When we’re mulching uphill, in narrow rows, or using front‑mounted attachments, the reverse‑seat option gives us superior visibility, safer operation, and comfort—minimising fatigue while maximising control.
Scrub removal offers numerous advantages, key among them being enhanced visibility, crucial for hikers and ensuring steep slope safety. This visibility is vital for spotting potential hazards. Additionally, scrub clearance plays a significant role in fire prevention, particularly in areas with dense, dry vegetation that could fuel fires. For construction projects, scrub removal is indispensable, paving the way for clear, accessible sites. This not only expedites project timelines but also cuts down costs. In essence, our scrub clearance services contribute to safety, cost-efficiency, and biodiversity enhancement, benefiting both individuals and businesses.
Varied scrubland is a vital ecological component, offering numerous benefits crucial for the planet’s health. Characterized by low-growing vegetation like shrubs and bushes, these lands play a pivotal role in water conservation. The diverse plant life in scrublands is adept at trapping rainwater and soil, significantly reducing runoff during heavy rains and thereby mitigating flooding and erosion risks. This function is not only essential for maintaining ecological balance but also for ensuring habitat diversity and steep slope safety.
Scrubland plays an important role in climate regulation. The plants that grow in scrubland help to cool the air by releasing WATER VAPOUR INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. This is important because it helps to reduce the effects of global warming. Varied scrubland is very valuable to a wide range of wildlife. It provides a continued source of food, shelter, and breeding sites. An area of scrub with a variety of plants of different ages and structures will support a large variety of WILDLIFE SPECIES.
Scrub management is crucial in habitat creation and biodiversity enhancement. Typically characterized by low to moderate plant diversity, scrub habitats are often dominated by resilient species. Despite their seeming simplicity, these habitats are vital for numerous species, including those endangered or threatened. Effective scrub management fosters open areas, essential for bird nesting, foraging, and facilitating sunlight and wind passage, which in turn aids in wildfire prevention. Our strategic approach to scrub management not only conserves endangered species but also promotes a rich and diverse ecosystem.

A heartfelt thank you to you and your team for such a massive effort and superb result keeping the road open at Slapton line. The whole community is indebted to you for your fantastic work. Simple words, but thank you.
SUE and MARTIN IVES
Landmarc and all those associated with the reconstruction of Kingsbridge Quay fully deserve our thanks for the magnificent completion of the project. Throughout, the engineers have maintained a safe clean site with minimum inconvenience to quay users. Thanks again.
MR Kelly
I wanted to tell you how impressed I am about the repairs done to the quay in Kingsbridge. A very professional and thorough job. You’ve really made the new build fit in well with the original and from what I hear will be completed on time. Well done!
