For owners, agents, builders and developers
A vacant block you do not live near is easy to forget until the council notice arrives. We keep building lots and vacant land mowed or slashed on a schedule, so it stays tidy, compliant and ready to sell or build on.
Trusted by real property owners
Why this matters
Vacant land in the new estates around Shellharbour, Dapto, Nowra and the Highlands grows fast and gets noticed. Long grass draws complaints from neighbours, fire hazard notices from council, dumped rubbish and snakes — and if you are trying to sell it, buyers see neglect before they see potential.
The owner is usually not nearby. Interstate investors, builders waiting on approvals and agents holding listings all have the same problem: the block needs cutting several times a year and nobody is there to do it.
What we do
Broadlands Contracting mows and slashes vacant blocks across the Illawarra, Shoalhaven and Southern Highlands. Small estate lots are mowed with commercial gear for a clean, presentable finish; larger or rougher land is slashed with the tractor and mulching deck. Either way the block is left tidy and the cut material spread, not left in rows.
Most owners put us on a schedule and forget about it. We can send a photo after each visit for your records or the agent’s, respond to council notices quickly when one lands, and do a tidy-up cut before open homes or settlement.
How the job runs
Vacant land is the easiest job to forget. We make it the easiest to hand over.
Size, slope, access, what is growing and whether there is dumped material or rock to work around. You get a fixed price per cut.
Monthly through the growing season, less in winter, or on call when the council or the agent asks. Whatever keeps it compliant without paying for cuts it does not need.
Mowed or slashed, cut material spread, and a photo sent through if you want one. You hear from us, not from the council.
