Regenerative Ecosystems is primarily a land management service located in Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung country (far outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Vic) that incorporates a multidisciplinary approach to all our projects. This multidisciplinary approach allows us to create new and impactful change to become leaders in the industry for all aspects including outdoor landscaping, native garden design & maintenance to bushland regeneration, ecological surveying and molecular surveying techniques.
Founded in late 2021, The Regenerative Ecosystem Project (TREP) now Regenerative Ecosystems, identified a clear concern after years of bushland management, that other companies and governments weren't able to keep up to date with the latest scientific research and that gardeners and landscapers lacked a clear awareness and understanding of indigenous fauna and flora. This message is heightened when understanding that conservation starts on private lands, and how to rebuild and contribute to functional ecosystems for preserving for future generations was being lost . These issues were the founding reasons TREP was established and aimed to rectify while achieving low to no emission services through the use of battery and solar technologies. We thrive to create native ecosystems on private lands and meet the challenges of the industry by creating new approaches. Our business is established around 3 core principles of Reduction, Enhancement and Maintenance.
Reduce: The amount of weeds or pests in the environment. The amount of carbon we emit. The environmental impact we have.
Enhance: The diversity of the environment. The aesthetics of a garden. The function of the area to an ecosystem. The connection to land for people. Knowledge in and outside the area of fauna and flora. Contribute to the science within the area
Maintain: The area once enhanced to manage the reduction techniques needed. Positive impact of the business on people and climate. Connecting with people, their gardens and the flora & fauna.

Here at TREP, we pride ourselves on having some of the best reusable tools and products while supporting Australian owned and operated companies. In doing so, we have steered clear of petrol motors whenever possible and have gone with the large interchangeable battery powered tools range by a trusted brand. We have found for our commercial and domestic use that interchangeable batteries for a multitude of tools has allowed us to always have power available for any tool from our chainsaws and hedgers, Rig sprayers to mowers, brush-cutters, aerators and augers while creating the lowest environmental impact possible.
Our battery tool system is kept afloat and topped up with a massive 470W of solar panel by KickAss products into an MPPT controller giving us 29% efficiency on solar power, which keeps our storage power systems well topped up to run inverters for charging any battery we may need.
These high amp hour batteries are also connected directly to our spray rig assembly when needed, to ensure our rig herbicide spraying efforts are also as environmentally conscious as possible!
To push these limits even further, we have invested in a number of large battery backpacks for high output tools which you may see TREP staff wearing out and about. Additionally our drones, laptops and tablets are also charged from these same systems, amazing!
Weed of the Month
Weed of the Month
August: Boneseed (Chrysanthemoides monilifera subsp. monilifera)
Removal Time: Autumn – Early Spring (April – September)
Boneseed, scientifically known as Chrysanthemoides monilifera subsp. monilifera, is a highly invasive woody shrub belonging to the daisy family (Asteraceae). Native to South Africa, it was introduced into Australia as an ornamental garden plant and for erosion control. It has since become one of Victoria's most problematic environmental weeds, invading coastal dunes, heathlands, open forests, roadsides and disturbed bushland.
Boneseed is a vigorous shrub that typically grows between 1–3 metres tall, forming dense stands that smother native vegetation and prevent the regeneration of indigenous plant species. It is easily identified by its leathery bright green leaves with serrated margins, yellow daisy-like flowers and clusters of fleshy green berries that ripen to black. Birds readily disperse the fruit over long distances, allowing Boneseed to rapidly invade new areas and establish persistent seed banks that can remain viable in the soil for many years.
To effectively control Boneseed, early detection and removal are essential. Small plants and seedlings can be hand-pulled when soil conditions are moist, ensuring the entire root system is removed. Larger shrubs should be cut close to ground level and treated immediately with an appropriate herbicide to prevent resprouting. Follow-up monitoring is critical, as germination from the soil seed bank can continue for many years after the initial treatment. Maintaining healthy native vegetation and promptly treating new seedlings will significantly reduce the likelihood of reinfestation.
By controlling Boneseed before it spreads further, we can protect Victoria's diverse bushland, coastal ecosystems and native biodiversity. Early intervention, ongoing monitoring and community participation remain the most effective tools in preventing this highly invasive species from establishing in new areas.
NEW - Drone Mapping
NEW - Drone Mapping
We are excited to highlight the new 4k resolution drone that Regenerative Ecosystems has invested in for our improved services. With this drone, we can offer clients a range of services that can improve the accuracy and efficiency of land management/landscaping operations. By using drone mapping, we can provide our clients with detailed and accurate data on land features such as elevation, topography, and soil quality, plant health, surface hydrology and canopy cover which can be used to optimise land use and inform decision-making processes. Additionally, drone mapping can allow for faster data collection and analysis, saving time and money. The use of a 4k resolution drone provides extremely high-quality images and videos, which can be used for marketing purposes and to showcase the beauty and potential of properties. Overall, offering drone technology can help in a multitude of ways for our clients, demonstrating their commitment to using the latest and most innovative technology to provide the best possible services.
NEW - Wildflower Direct Seeding Trials
NEW - Wildflower Direct Seeding Trials
Regenerative Ecosystems is excited to announce we have secured a unique blend of wildflower seeds for direct seeding! This blend contains over 20 species that include wild flowers and small grasses perfect for low maintenance and highly visual areas. Some of the species include; Mixed dwarf Straw Flowers, Bluebells, Blue devils, Berry saltbush, Silky Bluegrass, Everlastings and more!
Native wildflower lawns are a regenerative landscaping technique that offers numerous benefits for homeowners and land owners. They attract native pollinators, require less water and fertilizer than traditional lawns or grassed areas, provide habitat for wildlife, and prevent soil erosion. By planting a native wildflower area, homeowners or land owners can contribute to biodiversity preservation while creating a sustainable, low-maintenance, and beautiful aesthetic landscapes
