Clearing Trees And Undergrowth For Development

When developing new land for estates and industrial areas the first thing you will have to do is clear the land of trees and undergrowth. This will allow room for the development of drainage and sewer systems as well as the installation of electrical and Internet cables then finally, homes!

Clearing Trees

Clearing trees seems like a daunting task, especially when there are large areas of land to clear and too many trees to count. This is where our dozer hire options come in handy with skilled operators to ensure the project goes ahead smoothly.

You can either clear trees head on while knocking down one at a time or use a chain method which will clear multiple trees at once. When the trees have been knocked down it is important to remove the stumps with either an excavator or dozer hire. Each is powerful enough to remove even the most stubborn roots from the ground with ease.

Removing trees and stumps from the worksite is simple with our excavator hire options, which will load the debris and organic matter into one of our tipper trucks to be hauled away. This will open up your development for the next stage in clearing the land.

Clearing Undergrowth

Once all the trees and stumps are cleared it is time to remove the undergrowth. As plants that grow in the undergrowth are smaller they are easier to remove and can be done so efficiently with a dozer. This debris can then be pushed into a pile out of the way until it is ready to be loaded and taken away the same as the trees.

After the undergrowth is cleared it is important to level the land. Any excess soil can be used as fill for large holes and ditches which our dozer hire is excellent for. Then the land can be swept over with one of our grader hire options to ensure that the land is ready to be built upon.

The Benefits Of Large Scale Machinery

Land clearing is a big job and therefore requires large machinery to get the project completed quickly and effectively. This, in turn, will keep your project running on schedule and save you money in the long run, which is important when striving to increase your bottom line.

Despite being on the larger side our large scale plant machinery is great for performing complicated tasks while having the power to perform jobs with brute force if necessary. This makes them invaluable during land clearing and earthworks where you need the muscle and precision to get the project completed on time and to standard.

If you require excavator, grader or dozer hire options for your large scale land clearing or earthworks project contact us today on (07) 3206 2800.

Taking Advantage Of Wet Plant Hire During The HomeBuilder Grant Building Boom

With the Government releasing the HomeBuilder grant earlier this year more and more people have started to snap up land and contracts for building new homes. This has been great for those selling land and builders alike but there are concerns that this influx of new builds could put a strain on some builders in the industry. Luckily there is a way to stay on or work ahead of schedule while reducing the load on builders with multiple homes ready to be started. That solution is wet plant hire!

What is the HomeBuilder Grant?

The HomeBuilder grant is a scheme that is currently offered by the Government that allows eligible homebuilders, including first homeowners, to build a new home using a grant of $25,000. This is aimed to increase work within the construction industry and stabilize the economy during the effects of the corona virus outbreak.

The grant itself has caused many people who have wanted to build a brand new home to jump onto the opportunity with vigor. This has lead to a boom in land sales and building contracts, which has resulted in an influx of work for the building industry.

How wet plant hire can help with land clearing

With land currently in demand it has been a race to provide more areas where new homes can be built. This means that more land has to be cleared ready for development so that the needs of both builders and homeowners can be met.

Fortunately, our skilled and qualified team can help with this through our wet plant hire options! Land clearing is no problem with our dozers, graders and excavator hire which will complete your project on schedule.

Our dozer hire is excellent for clearing trees and debris fast while our grader hire allows you to level the land with efficiency. You can also hire an excavator to help remove fallen trees, rocks and organic matter so the land is ready to be sold and built upon. This makes our plant machinery invaluable during land clearing for new homes!

How wet plant hire can help during construction

After land clearing comes the construction phase of the project where builders start to create brand new dwellings for homeowners. Though some builders might need some extra hands on deck with the amount of new homes currently being built. That is where we come in!

Our plant machinery hire options are great for builders as they can outsource work for certain parts of a project to lessen the strain on their team and keep to schedule during their build.

Some useful machinery builders will want to consider is hiring bobcats, excavators and tipper trucks. These machines are all very versatile and handle different jobs on the worksite with ease from hauling materials away to helping with construction and landscaping. It is the perfect solution if you are feeling under the pump!

What Plant Machinery Hire Is Best For Your Project?

There are many types of plant hire machinery that you can choose from for your project, but which one would be best? You need to consider the size, location, obstacles and timeframe of your project before you go and hire so here are some helpful tips to get you started!

Backyard Projects

Backyard projects are generally small scale when it comes to plant machinery hire. It may seem like a large task to you but get a bobcat in there and your project will be done in no time!

Backyards are a tight fit for most plant machinery so it is better to use smaller equipment such as your bobcat, skid steer and smaller excavators. You can use a tipper truck to haul materials away, which is a great idea as the bobcats can load it up out on the street.

Commercial And Industrial Projects

Commercial and industrial projects are your larger scale projects that tend to last for months or even years at a time. These projects generally require tasks such as bulk earthmoving, trenching and grading to be performed over a vast area.

In this case, larger plant hire machinery is needed. These machines include your dozers and large excavators, which are great for earthmoving, graders, which will level out the area of your worksite and tipper or water trucks to move materials off site and reduce dust.

Great All-rounders

Excavators are your great all-rounders! They can handle different types of projects with the various attachments that they come with. Whether it is earthmoving, trenching, drilling or digging holes you will have the perfect machinery performing your task.

Bobcats and skid steers are also very versatile being able to level out your project area while performing earthmoving and rubbish removal tasks. Though not as versatile as an excavator they come in at a close second for any project!

The Advantages Of Tipper Trucks

There is no denying that tipper trucks are one of the most reliable machines on the work site. They are versatile and carry heavy loads to and from a site without having to make large amounts of trips. You also have the choice of using tipper truck hire services so you don’t have to purchase or maintain the machinery yourself. So what other advantages are there?

Large Scale Projects

Whether you choose tipper truck hire or own your own there is no doubt that these machines are great for large scale worksites. They are great for earthmoving projects as they can be loaded up and the dirt can be removed from the site with ease.

Tipper trucks are also indispensable during big clean up operations and tidying up a site once the project has been completed. This is because the rubbish can be loaded up straight away and taken to the tip which makes it so much easier than hauling multiple loads in utes or other smaller vehicles.

Transporting Materials

Whatever materials you need a tipper truck to haul they will deliver it with efficiency! Tipper trucks are designed to take on heavy loads and transport them to various sites, whether that is the tip or another worksite. Some even haul smaller machinery such as excavators so that separate trailers don’t have to be used.

This versatility means that tipper trucks can be used in various industries including construction, landscaping, machinery hire, waste management and more. They can also be used for large scale domestic projects, in which case, you are better off using tipper truck hire if it is a once-off project.

Cost Effectiveness

As tipper trucks can haul large amounts of material and don’t need to make as many trips as smaller vehicles they are more cost effective. This is especially the case for construction projects where large amounts of materials need to be delivered to the site to build homes and commercial buildings.

Tipper truck hire is also cost effective, as you don’t need to worry about purchasing your own vehicle and maintaining it then finding an operator. As a wet plant hire company, we provide the machinery without the cost to sustain it, which is perfect for reducing project costs.

Hiring The Right Bobcat For Your Project

A bobcat or skid steer can be used for a variety of projects around the backyard, on acreage or even for construction. Depending on the type of project you need done and the terrain will determine the best bobcat or skid steer hire for you.

Best Projects For Bobcats

Bobcats and skid steers excel at a variety of projects which is why they are so commonly seen performing tasks such as landscaping, rubbish removal and earthmoving. They also come with a range of attachments to make work easier no matter what the task.

They are even a great asset when cleaning dams and working with many tight spaces on a construction site.

Terrain And Environment

The terrain and environment where your project is can affect the type of bobcat or skid steer you want to hire. Muddy terrain can be difficult for four wheeled vehicles so a tracked skid steer hire is the better option.

Also, if your project is located in a small yard or undercover you may want a smaller bobcat hire to perform the task as larger models may find it harder to reach the site. This can lead to timing issues and sometimes cost more if you miscalculated the size of the machinery and the size or location of the site.

When You Need To Think Bigger

Bobcat and skid steer hire can really help you out in a lot of situations but, unfortunately they aren’t built to handle everything. For example, they are great at earthmoving but not on large scales. This is when you need to think bigger and choose larger machinery such as dozer hire or grader hire.

Being aware of the scope of your project can help you save money in the long run. You may need a bobcat or skid steer here and there for the finer work but for largescale projects we recommend larger machinery to save you money and time.

Building A Dirt Barrier On Acreage

Acreage living is a dream that many Australian’s wish to achieve but once they start living on the property they realise that there are a few things that need to be sorted out to make everything perfect and this can include building a dirt barrier using earthmoving equipment which is beneficial for a variety of reasons.

The Purpose Of A Dirt Barrier

There are many purposes to having a dirt barrier built on your property especially if you live near a main road or own a dam. Dirt barriers can be used to protect your dam by increasing the water volume stored and, if you use plants in your barrier, can protect it from excess nutrients entering the water.

Dirt barriers are also great as sound and visual shields. It can get quite noisy if you live on a main road so the soil absorbs the sounds of the traffic and deters prying eyes. You can also use plants here so that you aren’t staring at a huge pile of dirt. Plants also help to mitigate sound and increase visual appeal while helping shield your property from others.

The Best Tools For The Job

Creating a large dirt barrier on an acreage property is not easy, especially with the amount of soil you have to move. Luckily, there are a few ways to complete your project with earthmoving equipment such as tipper trucks and excavator hire. Plus you may be able to kill two birds with one stone if you are planning on building a dam as you can use the soil from your dam for your barrier!

Earthmoving equipment is the most economical way to build your dirt barrier as the tons of soil needed can be moved into place within hours, not days by hand. This means that you can enjoy peace and quiet sooner, and you don’t have to perform hard labour.

How Aussie Can Help

We have a range of earthmoving equipment that is perfect for earthworks at home, especially on large acreage properties. This allows us to choose the best plant machinery for the job so that everything is time efficient and saves you money in the long run.

We also ensure our client’s safety while on site with zero contact operations while on your property, safe work zones and professional operators that are trained in safe machine operation practices. This ensures that there is no risk to you or your family while we complete your project!

How Dams Can Become Contaminated After Heavy Rainfall

Thunderstorms and rain are an inevitable part of nature but they can be a real issue for those who own dams. This is because heavy rain can produce flooding that washes organic matter across the landscape and into your dam.

Issues Caused By Contaminated Dams

When floodwaters cause organic materials such as plants, manure and straw to wash into your dam multiple problems can occur. The water starts to become contaminated and undrinkable for livestock. Although healthy livestock may seem unaffected for a time, young and sickly livestock will become affected rapidly.

The organic materials that have washed into your dam will also start to produce blue green algae, which is toxic to both people and animals. It is best to remove livestock for the dam straight away and quarantine it until the algae has been removed completely.

Treating A Contaminated Dam

There are a few ways that you can treat a contaminated dam, the first being to remove all the organic materials from the dam. This can be done with our excavator and bobcat hire. The excavator is great for removing debris from the centre of the dam while our bobcat hire options can clear the banks.

You should also aerate your dam and improve its water quality through chemical treatments such as chlorination. If you have blue green algae then you will need to add barley straw to your dam, as this will strip the nutrients from the water that allows the algae to grow. It also produces chemicals as it breaks down that limit algae growth.

Maintaining Your Dam After Heavy Rainfall

The best way to maintain your dam after heavy rainfall is through excavators and bobcat hire. This will allow you to remove the debris from your dam faster so your water has less chance of becoming contaminated.

Our excavator and bobcat options are also great for desilting dams and help reduce the salinity in the water. This is another form of water contamination that can be caused by excess salt being washed into your dam making it undrinkable.
