Overview

What's involved

Development sites, subdivisions and overgrown lifestyle blocks need to be cleared efficiently and without surprises. We bring our own excavators, chippers and tipper trucks, so vegetation clearance, mulching and cartage happen in one coordinated operation.

We work with developers, civil contractors, farmers and property owners across South Auckland, Franklin and North Waikato, and can retain and protect any trees that must stay.

Benefits

  • Full or staged clearing to suit your construction programme
  • Retained tree protection zones established and maintained
  • Own excavators, chippers, grinders and trucks on site
  • Mulch retained on site or removed, as you prefer
  • Fence lines, drains, easements and access tracks cleared
  • Consent and protected-tree advice before work begins

Process

How we approach the work

  1. 01

    Site walk and scope

    We walk the block with you, mark retained trees, identify constraints and confirm the clearing extent.

  2. 02

    Consent and protection check

    Protected or scheduled trees are identified and consent requirements confirmed before any clearing.

  3. 03

    Staged clearing

    Vegetation is felled, mulched and carted in stages that keep your site workable and accessible.

  4. 04

    Final tidy and handover

    Stumps ground or excavated, ground levelled where required, and the site handed over clean.

Safety first

Site-specific safety plans, plant exclusion zones and daily pre-starts, with all machine operators competency-assessed.

Clean-up promise

Green waste chipped or carted off site, access ways swept, and the block left ready for the next trade.

Commercial capability

Civil contractors and developers can engage us on programme through our commercial arborist services.
