Frequently Asked Questions About Land Clearing North Shore
Do I need council approval for land clearing in North Shore?
Yes, most land clearing in North Shore requires council approval, especially for areas over a certain size or containing native vegetation. Each council has specific requirements and regulations. Our team understands the approval process for North Shore councils and can assist with applications, environmental assessments, and compliance documentation.
How much does land clearing cost in North Shore?
Land clearing costs vary significantly based on site size, vegetation density, terrain, and access conditions. Typical costs range from $2,000-$15,000+ per acre depending on complexity. Factors include vegetation type, tree size, slope conditions, and disposal requirements. Contact John's Tree Services North Shore for a detailed assessment and accurate quote for your project.
What types of vegetation can you clear?
We can clear all types of vegetation including native and exotic trees, shrubs, undergrowth, grass, and weeds. Our equipment can handle everything from small garden plots to large bushland areas. We also specialise in selective clearing to preserve specific trees or landscape features as required by your development plans.
How long does land clearing take?
Project duration depends on site size, vegetation density, and complexity. Small residential blocks may take 1-3 days, while larger commercial projects can take several weeks. Weather conditions, access limitations, and approval requirements also affect timelines. We provide realistic timeframes during the planning phase and keep projects on schedule.
What happens to the cleared vegetation?
Cleared vegetation can be processed in several ways depending on your preferences and council requirements. Options include on-site mulching for erosion control, off-site recycling, timber salvage for construction use, or disposal at approved facilities. We discuss disposal options during planning to find the most cost-effective and environmentally responsible solution.
Can you clear around existing trees I want to keep?
Yes, we specialise in selective clearing that preserves valuable or required trees while clearing surrounding vegetation. Our experienced operators can work carefully around trees you want to keep, implementing protection measures to prevent damage during clearing operations. This is common for heritage trees or landscape features in development projects.
Do you provide erosion control during clearing?
Yes, erosion control is a critical part of our land clearing service. We implement appropriate measures such as silt fencing, temporary ground cover, and staged clearing to minimise soil erosion. Our approach meets environmental requirements and helps prevent issues during and after the clearing process.
What equipment do you use for land clearing?
We use a range of specialised equipment including excavators with clearing attachments, bulldozers, mulchers, and chainsaws depending on site conditions and requirements. Our equipment fleet can handle everything from delicate selective clearing to large-scale site preparation, always selecting the most appropriate machinery for each project.
