– ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES

Addressing climate and biodiversity risks within South Australia.

We work with local government and businesses towards a clean, green, and circular economy, addressing local climate challenges with local solutions.

SPECIALISING IN:

Our successful experience in the rehabilitation of difficult environments, with native species, gives us the enduring confidence in hydroseeding.

Within South Australia, LCS Maintenance are among the few accredited landscape maintenance companies that offers hydroseeding using endemic species.

Hydroseeding is the perfect application for rehabilitating industrial sites with dust issues or high erosion potential, contaminated analytes. The species mix of plants can be customised for highly saline or aggressive soil conditions to ensure successful coverage.

Erosion is effectively prevented using hydroseeding on steep and exposed slopes, soil binders and slow rate fertilisers can be optimised for bespoke applications.

We specialise in endemic species selection, propagation and vegetation. LCS Maintenance takes the time to understand and scientifically research the site requiring re-vegetation to maximise the rate of growth. Holistic planning and management is an intrinsic component of our approach to handle pests, weeds, erosion control, contamination, soil amelioration, seasonal variations, fire control measures and other impacts. We can also provide rocks, logs and other habitat suitable for local fauna.

We can maintain sites until it becomes a self-sustaining ecosystem. Species mix can be customised to minimise fuel loading.

Services include:

    • Direct seeding, tube stock, planting, bush regeneration, and supportive land management activities
    • Coastal – including mangrove, riparian and wetland construction and management.
    • Vegetation and biodiversity monitoring, weed surveying and aerial survey options.
    • Erosion – both water and wind erosion management and preventative maintenance
    • Working with primary producers, such as wineries and broad acre agribusiness to manage weeds and native vegetation.
    • Rehabilitation planning, implementation and reporting for decommissioned industrial sites such as shipyards, slipways, automotive factories, defence land, railway depots, difficult roadside verges, quarries and mines.
    • Revegetation for aesthetic or dust control of potentially contaminated or saline sites
    • Pest control licensing – feral and pest control services from large herbivores to small invertebrates

WETLANDS

Wetlands provide demonstrated improved water quality and biodiversity outcomes. Riparian areas and coastal zone management is a specialty of LCS Maintenance.

Our Staff are qualified and well experienced in NRM, Arborist and Horticultural practices.

We have worked with various environments including:

  • Noarlunga Wetlands
  • Felixstow Reserve
  • Cooke Reserve Wetlands
  • Old Port Road Median Wetlands
  • Westlakes Golf Course
  • SA Water Wetland

From conservation reserves, road rehabilitation and re-vegetated industrial sites, LCS Maintenance has a solution to every weed issue. Grassy weeds, woody weeds, weed eradication and population control activity are services we regularly undertake.

LCS Maintenance has fully licensed weed and pest control certifications and a variety of weed control vehicles and applicators. We carefully and successfully manage weeds within South Australian water catchments and other environmentally sensitive locations. Legacy mining and industrial sites often have weed issues that require additional safety management strategies to ensure maximum effectiveness.

  • Open space and roadside grass slashing
  • Remediation
  • Species replacement for full load reduction
