When you need it

Typical clearing jobs for us:

  • House blocks before the slab goes down
  • Shed, pool and granny flat sites
  • Fence lines and driveways on acreage
  • Overgrown blocks full of weed trees like leucaena and umbrella trees

How we do it

We walk the block with you, mark what's staying and what's going, then fell or dismantle the trees, grind the stumps and chip everything on site. You can keep the mulch for landscaping later or we take it away.

Where we work

We do a lot of acreage clearing around Kelso, Alice River, Black River, Bluewater, Hervey Range and Rangewood, as well as house blocks right across Townsville and the Thuringowa side.

Townsville-specific considerations

Native vegetation and mangroves can be protected, and some clearing needs approval from council or the state. We'll tell you what to check before we start, and council has the final say.

What it costs

Clearing is quoted on site, as it depends on the number and size of trees, stumps and access. Grouping everything into one job is cheaper than piecemeal visits.

Land Clearing questions

Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Townsville?

It depends on the tree and where it is. Most everyday backyard trees on a normal suburban block can be removed without a permit. But some native vegetation is protected, some properties fall under vegetation overlays in the Townsville City Plan, and all marine plants (like mangroves) are protected under Queensland law. Trees on the footpath or nature strip belong to council: don't touch those, apply to Townsville City Council instead. If we think your tree might need approval, we'll tell you when we quote, and council has the final say.

Is it legal to cut down a mangrove on my property?

Generally no. Mangroves and other marine plants are protected under state law, even on private land. Get advice before touching them.

Is stump grinding included in the tree removal price?

Not automatically. Some people want the stump left. We always list it as a separate line on the quote so you know exactly what you're paying for.
