Overgrown land? We specialise in clearing it.
Overgrown Mowing provides specialist land clearing, vegetation management and steep slope mowing across Auckland, Northland, Waikato and Bay of Plenty. Using commercial 4×4 flail mowers and remote-controlled equipment, we tackle dense gorse, blackberry, scrub and difficult terrain without spraying.
You have the problem. We have the solution
From overgrown to under control.
Tough vegetation. Tricky terrain. No problem.
We bring the right machinery, the right experience and a practical approach to vegetation control, taking your overgrown land back without spraying.
Gorse, blackberry, bracken, woolly nightshade and kikuyu don’t stay contained. They take over paddocks, building platforms and access tracks until the land underneath is unusable. We bring the machinery to take it back, without spraying half your property to do it.

The problem
Sound familiar?
- Is gorse and blackberry swallowing up your land? Is it spreading every season, no matter how much gorse cutting you do?
- Woolly nightshade and kikuyu are choking out everything else on the block.
- Steep or wet ground means your usual mower or contractor won’t go near it.
- Worried about what’s in the herbicides you’d otherwise have to spray? Want a chemical-free approach to gorse control and blackberry control instead?

The Overgrown Mowing answer
We take it back.
- Go anywhere machines.Ride-on 4×4 and tracked mulchers handle gorse mulching and blackberry mulching in a single pass, turning it into ground cover with no spray and no burn piles.
- Handles tough terrain.Slope-rated machines take on bank mowing, hillside mowing and rough ground other crews won’t touch.
- Tailored to your property.Ongoing lifestyle block maintenance: kikuyu and scrub margins mown or mulched on a schedule, so it doesn’t grow back over the work.

Where we work
Vegetation management across Auckland, Waikato, Northland and Bay of Plenty.
Wherever your overgrown land is, one specialist mulching contractor covers all four regions.
Auckland land clearing
Auckland’s rural fringe covers everything from steep lifestyle blocks in Rodney and the Waitakere foothills to rolling farmland around Kumeu, Clevedon and Franklin. Gorse, blackberry, woolly nightshade and kikuyu thrive here, often taking over land that’s difficult to reach with conventional machinery. That’s exactly the kind of country our specialist flail mowers are built for. Our vegetation management in Auckland covers section clearing, site clearing before a build and mulching services for rural blocks.
Waikato land clearing
Waikato’s rolling farmland and steep hill country can quickly become difficult to manage once gorse, blackberry and kikuyu take hold. From Cambridge and Hamilton south into the King Country, our specialist flail mowers tackle steep faces, rough paddocks and overgrown land that ordinary mowing equipment can’t handle.
Bay of Plenty land clearing
The Bay of Plenty’s warm climate means vegetation doesn’t stay under control for long, so regular vegetation management pays off. We handle woolly nightshade removal, fast-growing blackberry, kikuyu, gorse and heavy scrub around lifestyle blocks, orchards and rural properties from Katikati and Tauranga through to Te Puke and surrounding districts.
Northland land clearing
Northland grows things well, including the stuff you don’t want. Gorse, blackberry, kikuyu and scrub can quickly swallow paddocks, banks and unused corners of rural properties. Our go-anywhere flail mowers are built for this kind of country, reclaiming heavily overgrown land from Kaipara through to Whangarei and beyond.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of overgrown vegetation can you clear?
We clear long grass, dense kikuyu, gorse, blackberry, scrub and other overgrown vegetation using specialist commercial mowing equipment. The most suitable approach depends on the terrain, vegetation density and site access.
Can you clear steep or difficult-to-access land?
Yes. Our commercial 4×4 flail mowers and remote-controlled equipment are designed for challenging terrain, including steep slopes and difficult-to-access areas. We assess each property to determine whether the conditions are suitable for safe operation.
What’s the difference between a flail mower and a slasher?
A flail mower uses rotating cutting flails to cut and mulch vegetation into smaller pieces. A traditional slasher generally leaves longer, coarser cut material behind. Flail mowing can provide a more even finish on overgrown properties. Read our flail mower vs slasher guide.
Do you use chemical sprays to clear vegetation?
No. Overgrown Mowing specialises in mechanical vegetation clearing using commercial mowing equipment. We cut and mulch vegetation without applying herbicides.
