Site Clearance job in Melbourne

Who we clear for

Our site clearance clients are a mix of builders, developers, civil contractors, pool and landscape companies, and owners preparing a block before selling or building. The common thread is a deadline. We quote to a date and turn up on it.

Working with planning conditions

On development sites some trees are marked for retention and need protection zones fenced off before machines arrive. We work to the arborist report and the endorsed plans, remove only what is approved, and can supply an arborist report if the permit application still needs one.

From overgrown to ready

A typical clearance covers tree removal, scrub and weed clearing, stump grinding, and removal of all green waste. Where access allows we use machinery to speed things up, and on tight sites we clear by hand and chip on the spot.

What is included

FAQs

Site Clearance questions

Do you work for builders and developers?

Yes. A large share of our site clearance work is for builders, developers and civil contractors, and we are happy to invoice them directly.

Can you clear a whole block in one day?

Many suburban blocks can be cleared in a day. Larger or heavily vegetated sites may take several days, and we will give you a clear timeframe with the quote.

Do I need a permit to clear my block?

Removing vegetation can require a planning permit, particularly where overlays apply or native vegetation is involved. Check your permit conditions and we can help with the arborist side.

Is stump removal included?

It can be. For building sites we usually include stump grinding so the ground is ready for excavation.
