Hedge Mulching & Shelterbelt Trimming in Taranaki

Shelterbelts and hedges protect stock and pasture from the coastal wind, but left alone they spread into paddocks, block races and shade out grass. JFM Contracting offers hedge mulching for farms and lifestyle blocks from Rahotu to Oakura.

What is hedge mulching?

Hedge mulching trims back hedges and shelterbelts and chops the cuttings into mulch as it goes. There's no pile of branches left to burn or cart away, and the job is finished in one pass.

Why keep hedges trimmed?

• More usable pasture. Overgrown hedges creep into paddocks and shade the grass along the edge.
• Clear races and lanes. Keep stock, vehicles and machinery moving freely.
• Healthier shelter. Regular trimming keeps hedges dense and doing their job.
• Tidier boundaries. Neat road frontages and fence lines.

When to book

Hedge mulching is often done outside the busy harvest months, which makes it a good job to get booked in over winter and early spring. Get in touch and we'll find a time that suits.
