What is tree clearing?

Tree clearing is the process of permanently removing trees, bushes and plants of different sizes along with their roots. The tree clearing process is completed to clear a property in preparation for another purpose such as human settlement, pastureland or the construction of roads and railways. Tree clearing services also use different types of machines that make tree clearing more reliable and efficient.

Can I clear trees on my property?

You can remove a tree on your property if the tree is not protected by the council. Every council has specific rules related to tree clearing which is called a Tree Protection Ordinance. Landowners must obtain approval from their local council prior to removing any trees from their property. Failing to gain approval may lead to significant fines. However, there are some exemptions when it comes to easing restrictions of tree clearing. These exemptions include dead trees, fallen trees, dangerous trees that pose an immediate threat to your property, and trees that are infested with local pest species. It is also advisable to contact an arborist and ask if it is safe to remove certain trees on your property. While removing trees on your property may seem simple, the process still requires preparation, planning and proper utilisation of tools to prevent mistakes and unwanted accidents such as broken pipes or hazardous consequences. This is a main reason why it is best to hire a professional tree clearing contractor.

How much does tree clearing cost?

The average tree clearing cost in Australia ranges from $350 to $4500. However, these prices can vary depending on several factors. These factors include the size of trees in both height and diameter, number of trees, number of shrubs and plants, amount of debris present in the area, along with the tree species as each type varies in hardness.
