About us
We know the Perth north, south-west and south-east growth areas inside out, including council subdivision clearance requirements.
From small residential blocks to large rural and acreage lots, our bobcat, excavator and slashing equipment handles jobs of every scale.
We understand handover deadlines and estate staging schedules, and work to keep your project on track.
From vegetation and scrub removal through to stump grinding, demolition and debris removal, we handle the full clearance process so you don’t need multiple contractors.
What we do
Land Clearing Perth Contractor Group clears residential site blocks of all sizes across Perth and surrounding suburbs. This includes removal of overgrown vegetation, trees, and debris from properties preparing for renovation, new builds, or general upkeep.
We remove scrub, weeds, and dense undergrowth using brush cutters, mulchers, and hand tools depending on the terrain. This service suits blocks with heavy weed growth or invasive plant species that need clearing before landscaping.
We fell and remove trees of varying sizes, from small ornamental trees to large established eucalypts. Our arborists assess each tree’s health, lean, and proximity to structures before deciding on the safest removal method.
Once a tree is felled, we grind the stump below ground level using specialised grinding equipment. This removes trip hazards and allows the area to be replanted, paved, or built on without obstruction.
We prepare residential blocks for building work by clearing vegetation, levelling ground, and removing obstructions such as old structures or debris. This work is a required step before slab pouring or foundation work begins.
We clear larger rural and acreage properties where dense bushland, paddocks, or overgrown boundaries need managing. This work often covers several hectares and requires heavier machinery than standard residential jobs.
We use bobcats and excavators fitted with slashing attachments to clear overgrown grass, light scrub, and small saplings across larger areas. This method suits properties where hand-clearing would take too long.
We install and maintain fire breaks around residential and rural properties to reduce bushfire risk, particularly ahead of Western Australia’s bushfire season. This involves clearing vegetation to create a defendable space around structures and boundaries.
We remove old structures, sheds, fencing, and construction debris as part of broader land clearing projects. This service is often paired with site preparation work ahead of a new build. Debris is sorted on-site where possible, separating recyclable materials such as metal and timber from general waste.
Land Clearing Perth Contractor Group starts with a complete site assessment. This covers block size, vegetation density, soil type, and access points. Perth’s sandy soils are generally easier to work with, but sites with remnant native vegetation need extra care and, in some cases, approval checks.
Site inspection and quote: we assess the block and outline costs upfront
Vegetation removal: trees, shrubs, and undergrowth cleared to the required extent
Root raking: roots removed to prevent regrowth issues
Debris management: mulching, removal, or disposal depending on your preference
Final site grading: left level and ready for construction or landscaping
We work to the agreed timeframe and keep you informed at each stage.

Every land clearing project in Perth follows a structured path from initial site visit through to final handover. Below, we outline how we assess your block, manage approvals, schedule the work, carry out clearing on-site, and account for seasonal conditions across the Perth region.
We start with an on-site visit to assess block size, vegetation density, slope, and access points. This lets us identify any obstacles that could affect cost or timing, such as tree protection zones or bushfire-prone vegetation.
We also check for environmental constraints, including wetlands, remnant native vegetation, or protected species habitat. Perth Hills blocks and larger rural properties often need a more detailed assessment due to steeper terrain and denser bush.
During the consultation, we discuss your goals for the land, whether that’s construction, subdivision, or firebreak maintenance. We then provide a written quote outlining scope, equipment required, and estimated completion time.
Most land clearing in Perth requires council approval before work begins, particularly for native vegetation removal. Requirements vary between local government areas, so we check the relevant planning scheme for your property.
Common approval considerations include:
We handle the permit application process on your behalf where possible. This reduces delays and ensures the clearing work complies with state and local regulations before machinery arrives on site.
Once permits are confirmed, we lock in a start date based on your project timeline and our equipment availability. Smaller residential blocks are often scheduled within one to two weeks of booking.
Larger acreage or hills properties with restricted access may require additional lead time to arrange specialised machinery. We factor in travel time for rural jobs across Mandurah, the South West, and outer metro areas.
We provide a clear start and completion window at the time of booking. If your project has a hard deadline, such as a firebreak compliance date, we prioritise scheduling to meet it.
Clearing typically begins with removal of surface vegetation and undergrowth, followed by tree felling and stump removal where required. We use mulching equipment on many jobs to reduce green waste and improve soil condition.
The general sequence includes:
Most residential blocks are cleared within one to three days. Larger rural or hills properties can take one to two weeks depending on density and terrain.
Perth’s dry summer months, roughly November through March, are the most common period for land clearing due to firmer ground conditions and fewer weather delays.
Winter clearing is still possible but access can be limited on clay-heavy or hilly blocks after heavy rain. We monitor forecasts closely and adjust scheduling to avoid working on saturated ground, which can damage machinery and soil structure.
Bushfire season also affects timing for properties requiring firebreak clearance, as councils set annual compliance deadlines. We recommend booking early in spring to avoid the seasonal rush ahead of these deadlines.

While our base is in Perth, we extend our land clearing services throughout the greater metropolitan region and beyond.
FAQs
We handle residential block clearing, rural acreage clearing, and site preparation for construction and subdivisions.
Prices typically range from $1,500 for a small block with light vegetation to $40,000 or more for larger properties with dense bush and difficult access.
In most cases, yes. Local councils across the Perth metro area regulate vegetation clearing, particularly on blocks with native trees or bushland zoning.
Block size is the starting point, but it’s rarely the only factor. Vegetation density, tree size, and slope all play a significant role in how long a job takes and what equipment we need.
Yes. We remove trees of varying sizes, grind or extract stumps, and clear scrub and undergrowth as part of our standard service.
Timeframes depend on block size and vegetation density. A small residential lot with light clearing might take a day or two, while larger rural blocks with heavy vegetation can take a week or more.
