Complete site clearing for residential and commercial developments. Tree removal, vegetation management, stump grinding, and site preparation by certified arborists.
Chippers, loaders, and machinery for any scale
All permits and approvals handled for you
Trees, stumps, scrub, and green waste — all removed
Whether you're preparing a block for construction, clearing overgrown vegetation from a neglected property, or managing bushfire fuel loads, True Roots provides comprehensive land clearing services across Sydney.
Our team combines arboricultural expertise with heavy equipment capability. We don't just knock everything down — we assess the site, identify trees worth retaining, prepare any required arborist reports, and then clear the site systematically. This approach keeps you compliant with council regulations and avoids costly fines for unauthorised clearing.
From small residential blocks to large commercial development sites, we handle the entire process. Tree removal, vegetation mulching, stump grinding, and green waste disposal — everything is managed in-house so you have one point of contact from start to finish.
Different projects require different clearing approaches. We tailor our methods to suit your site and objectives.
Complete clearing for new builds, subdivisions, and renovations. We work with builders and developers to prepare sites on schedule and to specification.
Asset protection zone (APZ) clearing to reduce fuel loads around properties. Essential for properties in bushfire-prone areas across the Sutherland Shire.
Neglected blocks, abandoned sites, and properties with years of unchecked growth. We restore access and usability to the land.
Every clearing project follows a structured process to keep things safe, compliant, and on schedule.
We inspect the site, identify all trees and vegetation, and determine what can be cleared and what requires council approval.
Arborist reports, DA submissions, and council applications are prepared and lodged before any clearing begins.
Trees are removed, vegetation mulched, and stumps ground. We work systematically from one end of the site to the other.
All waste is removed, the site is levelled where required, and you receive a clear, construction-ready block.

Land clearing costs vary significantly based on site size, vegetation density, access, and waste volume. Small residential blocks may start from $2,000, while larger commercial sites can run into tens of thousands. We provide detailed, itemised quotes after a site inspection.
Almost always, yes. Most Sydney councils require approval before clearing vegetation, especially if protected trees are involved. Clearing without approval can result in substantial fines. True Roots manages the entire permit process including arborist reports and DA submissions.
A typical residential block can be cleared in 1 to 3 days. Larger commercial sites may take a week or more depending on the number of trees, vegetation density, and whether stumps need grinding. We provide a timeline with every quote.
Most vegetation is mulched on-site using our industrial wood chippers. The mulch can be spread on site or removed entirely. All timber and green waste is recycled — nothing goes to landfill. We can also supply the mulch to other clients for garden use.
