Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my land needs cultivation?
Signs include poor water infiltration, reduced plant growth, visible soil compaction, or preparation for new planting. We can assess your specific situation and recommend appropriate cultivation techniques for your NSW property.
How deep do you cultivate?
Depth varies based on your needs: surface cultivation (2-6 inches) for seedbed preparation, medium cultivation (6-12 inches) for general improvement, or deep cultivation (12-18 inches) for severe compaction throughout Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, and country NSW.
Can cultivation damage my soil?
Proper cultivation improves soil health, but timing and technique are crucial. We assess soil moisture, type, and conditions to ensure cultivation enhances rather than damages your land throughout NSW.
