Creating a firebreak is an essential part of any bushfire prevention strategy. Mulching Australia have worked throughout Australia, clearing thousand upon thousands of km’s for firebreaks.

We typically use mulchers as the most efficient and environmental method.  When  creating the fire break reducing fuel does not require all vegetation to be removed. Rural fire service guidelines recommend some canopy trees be retained for protection from strong winds, radiant heat and flying embers. Removing understorey and shrubs is important while a small amount can be kept as clumps or islands. Further mulching leaves ground cover to prevent soil erosion.
