What we do
Land & Block Clearing in Brisbane, the Redlands and Logan
Block clearing around Brisbane is as much about the paperwork as the chainsaw. In Redland City, Logan and Brisbane's rural-residential fringe (Sheldon, Mount Cotton, Cornubia, Logan Village, Chandler, Gumdale, Brookfield), many blocks sit inside environmental overlays, waterway corridors or koala habitat mapping. Some clearing is allowed without approval: the state's koala rules allow a once-off 500m² around a home and fire breaks, Logan's scheme exempts a 10-metre bushfire zone around a dwelling, and Redland's fact sheet allows up to 500m² in urban zones. Beyond that you need an approval, and clearing first and asking later is expensive.
We look at the mapping for your lot before we quote, tell you what can be cleared as of right and what needs an application, and then do the work: selective removal of the trees in the way, stumps ground or left as requested, regrowth and understorey cut, and everything chipped. Mulch can stay on site for tracks and beds, which on acreage is usually the most useful thing to do with it.
Typical jobs: clearing a house pad and driveway on a new acreage lot, opening up a fence line, creating an asset protection zone before bushfire season, removing camphor laurel and Chinese elm infestations along a creek, and thinning a paddock of regrowth gums.
What's included in our land & block clearing service
Overlay and permit check
We read the council mapping for your lot and tell you what is exempt and what needs an application.
Selective tree removal
The trees that have to go, taken out without wrecking the ones that stay.
Fire breaks and asset protection zones
Low branches lifted to 2m, understorey and ladder fuels reduced around the house, in line with Queensland Fire Department guidance.
Weed tree removal
Camphor laurel, Chinese elm, umbrella tree and privet infestations removed and stumps treated or ground.

Land clearing cost (guide only)
Clearing is quoted per job after a site visit. The figures below are tree-by-tree ranges from published Brisbane guides; a multi-tree clearing job is priced as a package and usually works out well under the sum of the parts.

|---|---|
| Small trees and regrowth (under 6m), each | $300 – $900 |
| Medium trees (6–12m), each | $800 – $2,500 |
| Large trees (12m+), each | $2,000 – $5,500 |
| Stump grinding, multiple stumps | 15–30% discount on the total |
| Arborist report for a council application, if required | $400 – $1,200 |
