Land Clearing Done Right
At Summit Tree Services on the Sunshine Coast, we clear land so you can actually use it. We help prepare blocks for new builds, sheds, driveways or fencing by removing problem trees, thick regrowth and scrub, while paying attention to access, drainage and what you want to keep.
We work with you to plan what stays, what goes and how the site needs to look at the end. Our crew handles tree removal, basic vegetation stripping and tidy stacking or processing of timber and green waste. To chat about clearing your block or paddock, call 0487 907 783.

Frequently Asked Questions
Land clearing projects raise plenty of questions about rules, planning, safety and what happens to all the trees and vegetation.
Do I need council approval for land clearing?
Council approval often depends on block size, zoning, vegetation type and how much you want to clear. Many regions have vegetation overlays or protected areas where permits are required, especially near waterways or habitat. Checking local planning schemes and vegetation laws before starting helps avoid fines and delays later on.
How should I prepare a property before land clearing starts?
Before work begins, it helps to mark boundaries, identify any trees or areas to keep and flag known services like water lines or septic systems. Access for machinery needs to be planned, along with parking and turnaround space. Taking photos and confirming the scope in writing can prevent confusion during the job.
What happens to trees and vegetation after land clearing?
Cleared material is usually sorted into logs, branches and smaller scrub. Larger timber can be cut to length for reuse, firewood or milling where appropriate. Smaller material is often mulched on site or loaded out for disposal. Good planning aims to minimise waste, protect topsoil and avoid damaging retained trees.
Getting Sites Ready To Build
Land clearing can include felling unwanted trees, cutting and processing trunks, mulching smaller vegetation and cutting access tracks for vehicles and machinery. We consider slopes, soil conditions, neighbouring properties and existing structures to minimise damage outside the work zone. Stumps can be cut low or ground out, and cleared areas left ready for earthworks, fencing, driveways or landscaping to follow.
