How John's handles land clearing.
Land clearing in Cherrybrook starts with the area you need cleared, the vegetation or trees that must stay and the condition required for the next stage. The team can work through access, slope, services and debris handling during the site walk.
Across the Upper North Shore, established homes, larger gardens, sloping sites and bushland-edge properties often need careful equipment and debris-removal access. Mature eucalypts and long-established garden trees are common throughout the area.
Common jobs include clearing overgrown vegetation, removing identified trees and stumps, opening access and preparing areas for landscaping, maintenance or construction. Material can be chipped, retained, stockpiled or removed as the site allows.
- Selective clearing
- Tree and stump work
- Vegetation processing

What to check before the work starts.
Hornsby Shire Council treats light maintenance, substantial pruning, tree removal and vegetation clearing differently. Check the current rule for the address and have any approval in place before regulated work begins.
- Hornsby Shire Council may require approval for tree removal, significant pruning or vegetation clearing. Requirements depend on the tree, property and proposed work.
- Mark the area that needs clearing and the vegetation that must stay.
- Show us the access route, slope, services and room for equipment.
- Explain how the site needs to be left for landscaping, construction or maintenance.
