Land Clearing Across the Northern Beaches
What you can expect when you work with us
Land clearing across the Northern Beaches — from Frenchs Forest and Duffys Forest to Warriewood and Mona Vale — covers everything from residential block preparation (from $2,000) to large-scale development site clearing (from $12,000). Whether you're building a new home, creating a bushfire asset protection zone, or clearing overgrown vegetation, our experienced team handles every project with full Northern Beaches Council compliance.
Our arborists and site operators hold a minimum Certificate III in Arboriculture (AQF Level 3), with senior team members qualified to AQF Level 5 and members of Arboriculture Australia. With 30 years' experience since 1995 and $20 million public liability insurance, we understand the environmental sensitivities of Northern Beaches bushland — native species identification, threatened habitat assessment, and council approval processes.
The Northern Beaches includes significant areas of native bushland — Sydney Red Gum (Angophora costata), Blackbutt (Eucalyptus pilularis), and Scribbly Gum (Eucalyptus haemastoma) — much of which falls under Northern Beaches Council vegetation management controls. Bushfire-prone suburbs like Terrey Hills, Duffys Forest, Belrose, and Davidson require RFS-compliant asset protection zones. We service all 48 Northern Beaches suburbs and coordinate all environmental and council approvals.

Development Site Preparation
Full vegetation clearing for residential and commercial construction projects across the Northern Beaches. We remove all trees, stumps, and undergrowth, leaving the site graded and ready for earthworks — from single residential blocks in Brookvale to multi-lot subdivisions in Warriewood and Mona Vale.
Bushfire Asset Protection Zones
RFS-compliant asset protection zone (APZ) creation and maintenance around buildings in bushfire-prone suburbs like Terrey Hills, Duffys Forest, Belrose, and Elanora Heights. We clear and manage vegetation to meet the required inner and outer protection zone standards based on your property's BAL rating.
Selective Clearing
Retaining specified trees while removing the rest of the vegetation on your block. Ideal for properties in established suburbs like Seaforth, Frenchs Forest, and Forestville where council conditions require specific trees to be retained during development.
Environmental Compliance
Native vegetation management in accordance with Northern Beaches Council and state environmental regulations. We coordinate flora and fauna assessments, obtain necessary permits, and implement approved clearing plans — essential for sites with significant bushland in Terrey Hills, Duffys Forest, and Davidson.
Our Process
What to Expect — Land Clearing
Land clearing on the Northern Beaches requires careful planning, especially where native vegetation and council regulations apply. Here's how our qualified team manages every project.
1
Site Assessment
Our qualified arborists visit the site to assess vegetation density, identify native and protected species, evaluate machinery access, and determine any environmental sensitivities that affect the clearing approach.
2
Council & Environmental Approvals
We identify what approvals are required from Northern Beaches Council, arrange environmental assessments with qualified consultants if needed, and submit applications — including arborist reports prepared by our AQF Level 5 team.
3
Clearing Plan
A detailed plan is prepared identifying trees to be retained, clearing boundaries, machinery requirements, and erosion control measures. This is shared with you for approval before any work begins.
4
Vegetation Clearing
Using a combination of machinery and hand clearing, vegetation is removed according to the approved plan. Trees are felled by our qualified arborists, stumps ground, and undergrowth cleared safely and efficiently.
5
Material Processing
Cleared material is mulched on-site for site rehabilitation, removed for green waste disposal, or processed for other uses. Timber may be salvaged where practical, reducing waste and disposal costs.
6
Site Rehabilitation
The cleared area is left ready for its intended use. Erosion control measures are installed where required, retained trees are protected with fencing, and the site is prepared for the next stage of your project.
