Land Clearing Services Sydney-wide
Sydney Tree Solutions specialises in providing professional land clearing services and tree removal solutions for properties of all sizes. Whether it’s a large acreage site earmarked for new housing or a small individual lot requiring clearing for a single residence, they have the expertise and equipment to handle the job. Here’s an overview of the services and equipment they offer:
1. Tree Removal and Stump Grinding
Sydney Tree Solutions offers comprehensive tree removal and stump grinding services. Their process involves removing individual trees or clearing all vegetation from the site, including small understory trees. Stump removal is also a part of their service to ensure a clean and clear site.
2. Tailored Approaches for Different Sites
The methods employed for tree removal during land clearing depend on various factors, such as site conditions, accessibility, and the extent of vegetation to be cleared. In many cases, a combination of manual rigging techniques and clear felling of trees is used, accompanied by the use of cranes for larger tree removal and timber extraction. For extensive land clearing projects, specialised forest machinery is utilised to maximise efficiency and safety.
3. Equipment for Large-Scale Land Clearing
Sydney Tree Solutions employs advanced machinery specifically designed for large-scale land clearing and tree removal. One such equipment is the Bandit Beast Recycler, a massive mobile horizontal grinder with a 2-metre wide opening and a conveyor belt capable of processing up to 150 cubic metres of mulch per hour. Additionally, they utilise excavators and bobcats equipped with grapples for stacking and processing trees, as well as forest mowers that quickly mow down small trees and scrub, leaving behind a well-maintained parkland.
4. Tailored Solutions for Small-Scale Projects
For areas with a smaller number of trees, typically ranging from 10 to 30, Sydney Tree Solutions utilises standard 18-inch Vermeer chippers and winch setups. In cases where access is limited or the site is steeply sloped, cranes are deployed to improve efficiency and reduce land clearing costs.

Complying with Council Regulations
When considering tree removal services for land clearing, it’s crucial to understand the rules and regulations that govern such activities. These regulations vary based on the location (urban or rural) and the purpose behind the land clearance (e.g., new developments or fire mitigation). To ensure compliance, it is essential to refer to state legislation, environmental legislation, and the local Council Tree Preservation Order. These resources provide the necessary guidelines and permissions for carrying out tree removal works on your property.

What are the benefits of land clearing?
Land clearing serves a multitude of purposes, each contributing to the usability, safety, and value of the land. Let’s take a closer look at some key benefits:
1. Usability of Land
One of the primary reasons for land clearing is to prepare the site for development, be it for housing, roads, or infrastructure. By removing trees and vegetation, land becomes more accessible for earth-moving equipment, allowing for necessary changes in the site’s grade and slope to accommodate construction works effectively.
2. Removal of Environmental Weeds
Certain trees and vegetation can be classified as environmental weeds due to their invasive nature, which hinders the growth of local endemic species. Through land clearing and tree removal, these weed species can be eliminated, enabling landowners to restore the site to its original state by reintroducing native trees and plants that benefit the local flora and fauna.
3. Safety Reasons
Tree removal becomes necessary when trees are dead, diseased, or decayed to a point where they pose a significant risk to nearby properties and individuals. Removing such hazardous trees, along with their stumps, mitigates the associated risks and ensures the safety of the surroundings.
4. Fire Hazard Reduction
In Sydney, land clearing services often focus on tree removal to create buffer zones between properties and the adjacent bushland. These buffer zones are essential for reducing the risks posed by bushfires. The implementation of the 10/50 bushfire tree removal laws in New South Wales in 2014 allows for the removal of large canopy trees within 10 metres of residences and smaller understorey vegetation up to 50 metres, primarily in bushfire-prone regions of Sydney and NSW.
5. Enhancing Land Value
Trees and vegetation with limited amenity value can diminish the value of land intended for development. The presence of unwanted trees and weed-infested areas adds additional costs for buyers, making it difficult for them to envision the full potential of the site. Removing low-retention value trees and vegetation not only increases the land’s value but also makes it more appealing for new developments.
