Good Questions, Straight Answers
Do you remove stumps or leave them?
We remove the stump and root ball as part of our clearing, sizing and grinding process, unless otherwise specified. Just let us know when we're quoting your job if you'd prefer to leave stumps in place.
What happens to the trees once you've cleared them?
We sort and salvage what we can. Quality logs are set aside for salvage, forks and undesirable timber go to firewood, and what remains gets turned into mulch. This reduces waste and can lower your overall project cost.
Can we keep the mulch, or does it get removed?
You choose. We can leave the mulch on site as ground cover, or arrange removal if you'd prefer a completely clean finish.
What size jobs can you handle?
Everything from a single residential block to large-scale development sites spanning multiple hectares. Turnaround runs at approximately 2–4+ days per hectare, depending on conditions, density and landscape.
What machinery will you use?
We match equipment to the job. Our grinding fleet runs from 750hp to 1050hp, and we bring in the right machines for clearing, sizing, stick raking and grinding depending on what your site needs.
Do I need council approval before clearing?
This depends on your property type, zoning and local council requirements. We recommend checking with your council or a town planner before work begins, and we're happy to advise on what's typically required in the areas we work.
Is burning an option instead of mulching?
In some cases, yes, but it is subject to local burning regulations and fire restrictions. We can discuss this during your site assessment. In most development scenarios, mulching is faster, cheaper and avoids permit complications.
I'm still in the planning phase. Can I get an idea of cost?
Absolutely. We're happy to chat through what's involved even if you're not ready to go yet. Call us on 0439 279 888 or fill out the quote form and let us know where you're at.
Do you do other types of clearing than those described?
Yes we do. We've handled infrastructure project clearing for pipelines and roadsides, storm clean-ups on acreage properties, and removal of fallen trees from waterways and dams. If your job doesn't fit neatly into a standard category, give us a call and we'll talk it through.
How far in advance should I book?
It depends on the season and site conditions, but as a rule, the earlier you call the more flexibility we have around timing. If you're working to a builder's start date or a construction program, let us know that date up front and we'll plan around it.
Do you work on rural and acreage properties, or just development sites?
Both. We handle everything from a single rural block needing fenceline or lantana clearing through to multi-hectare development sites. The machinery and process scale to the job.
What areas do you service?
We're based at Logan Village and work right across South East Queensland, with experience Queensland-wide. Not sure if we reach your site? Just ask.
