Land clearing & tree removal
Whole blocks, boundary lines or single problem trees — taken down in tight spots without dropping them through your fence, and mulched on site.
Clearing is the job most operators quote badly. A machine that can only fell trees will fell them — into the paddock, across the fence, or onto whatever was standing nearby. Then someone else gets paid to clean it up.
We bring gear matched to the site: forestry mulchers for scrub and regrowth, the reach to take big timber down in sections where there's no room to drop it, and the tippers to shift anything that can't stay. That's how a recent job of 64 large trees finished in a few days with the sheds and the keeper trees untouched.

Why it matters
Felling is the cheap part. Not damaging anything is the job.
Anyone with a chainsaw can put a tree on the ground. The cost sits in what happens on the way down — a shed roof, a boundary fence, a septic line, or the mature trees you specifically wanted kept.
On a boundary job on busy Bungower Road, every other quote the owner received wanted to fell 24 trees straight into the property. We took them down in sections instead. No traffic closure, no damage behind the fence, and nothing left for anyone else to clean up.
That's the whole difference, and it's why we look at it on site rather than pricing it over the phone. We need to see the access, what's staying, and where the timber can safely go.
Both jobs are written up in full: 64 trees cleared in a few days and 24 trees off Bungower Road.
Questions
Common questions
It depends on tree size, how many, machinery access, and what happens to the material afterwards. Mulching on site is almost always cheaper than carting away. We look at it on site and talk through how it's best priced — a set price where the scope is clear, or a day rate where it isn't.
Often, yes. Most Victorian councils control removal of native vegetation and trees over a certain size, and rules vary by council and overlay. Check before work starts — we can tell you what's likely to need approval, but the permit is the landowner's responsibility.
Usually spread on site as ground cover. It suppresses weeds, holds moisture and saves you the truck movements. If you'd rather it gone, we'll cart it off — just say so when we visit.
Yes, and it's the part we're known for. Mark what's staying before we visit and we'll plan the drop zones and machine access around them.
