Goat Hire: Sustainable Land Clearing Done Naturally
Coastwide Contracting offers professional Goat Hire services to manage overgrown vegetation in a way that’s safe, chemical-free, and perfect for properties where machinery just won’t cut it.
Whether you’re dealing with dense scrub, fire risk, or tricky terrain, our herd of hardworking goats provides a low-impact, eco-friendly solution that gets the job done.
See below to find out how goat hire works, where it’s most effective, and why more property owners are turning to this natural solution.
Goats are ideal for vegetation management situations including:
- Overgrown residential blocks
- Bushfire mitigation
- Schools, parks, and councils
- Difficult-to-access or sloped areas
- Invasive weed control
- Rocky or uneven terrain unsuitable for machinery
- Tracks and roadside clearing
- Disused industrial blocks or areas with possible hidden debris
Goat Hire Is Simple – Here’s How It Works.
1. FREE SITE INSPECTION
We assess the site before the goats are brought in, to make sure the vegetation is safe for the goats to eat.
2. ASSESS THE NUMBER OF GOATS
We work out the number of goats needed to effectively remove the vegetation.
3. SITE SET-UP AND GOAT SAFETY
If needed, Coastwide Contracting will supply and set up mobile electric fencing to keep the goats where they need to be and predators away from the goats.
4. GOAT CARE AND MAINTENANCE
We bring in water and mobile shade shelters for the goats, and have a goat handler to check on the herd daily to make sure they are safe and well.
5. GOAT REMOVAL AND SITE INSPECTION
Once the job is complete we will remove any site set-up equipment, pick-up the team and give a final assessment of the land.

Why choose goats for vegetation management?
Eco-Friendly and Chemical-Free
Goats clear land without the need for chemical herbicides or machinery – just natural grazing that’s safe for people, pets, and the environment.
Access Difficult Terrain
Steep slopes, rocky ground, and tight areas that machines can’t reach are no problem for goats. They go where other methods can’t.
Cost-Effective for the Right Job
In the right setting, goat hire can be a more affordable solution than heavy machinery or ongoing weed control treatments.
Reduces Fire Risk
Goats help reduce potential fire fuel loads by clearing dry grass, weeds, and scrub, making them ideal for bushfire-prone areas.
Low Impact on the Land
Unlike machines, goats won’t compact the soil, damage tree roots, or tear up your property.
Targets Invasive Weeds
Goats are known to eat a wide variety of unwanted species, including many invasive plants like blackberry, lantana, privet, and more.
Quiet and Low-Disruption
No noisy machinery, no fumes – just a quiet, natural process that works in the background while you get on with your day.
Great for Sensitive or Public Areas
Ideal for schools, parks, community spaces, and properties near waterways or protected zones where chemical use is restricted.
Helps Prevent Weed Spread
Unlike slashing, which can scatter seeds, goats digest seeds during grazing – helping reduce regrowth and prevent the spread of invasive weeds.
Natural Fertiliser
As they graze, goats return nutrients to the soil through their manure – a simple way to improve soil health and support regrowth of native plants.
Before and After
Don’t just take our word for it – the results speak for themselves.
Our goats can transform dense scrub, weeds, and overgrown blocks into clean, manageable land without the damage heavy machinery can leave behind.
Check out some of our before-and-after projects below and see how effective natural vegetation management can be.
Need vegetation cleared in difficult places in a quiet and eco-friendly way?
What our customers say:
We used Coastwide Contracting’s goats to remove overgrown vegetation over a rocky sloping bank out the back of our yard. The goats were so friendly and quiet – they ate so much too! Great service. Would highly recommend Paul and his team!
Paul’s goats (and sheep) made short work of overgrown vegetation in our old industrial site. We couldn’t believe the difference they made in just a couple of days. Highly recommended!
