What is land clearing?
Land clearing is removing the trees, scrub and vegetation from a section or block so you can use the land. In Whangārei and across Northland, Tree Tenders clears overgrown sections, lifestyle blocks, paddocks and building sites, whether you need part of a site opened up or the whole lot cleared to bare, tidy ground.
What can Tree Tenders clear?
If it's growing where you need open ground, we can clear it:
Just a row of windbreak trees? That's a shelter belt removal. A single big tree to drop? See tree felling. Land clearing is for when you want a whole area opened up.
Overgrown or unused sections
Lifestyle blocks and farm paddocks
Building sites and new-build lots
Subdivision lots
Fence lines and boundaries
Scrub and regrowth
Groups of trees and small woodlots

Land clearing, shelter belt removal or tree felling — which do you need?
Three related jobs, one crew. The short version: clearing a whole area is land clearing, taking out rows of windbreak trees is shelter belt removal, and dropping one or a few specific trees is felling.

Not sure how much needs to go? Describe the block in your free quote and Justin will scope it, whether that's clearing the lot or just the trees that matter.
What does land clearing cost, how long does it take, and do you need consent?
What it costs
Every block is different, so clearing is priced per job. The main things that move the price are the size of the area, how dense and overgrown it is, the size of the trees, access for gear, and how much green waste you want taken away. You get a free quote first, with no obligation.
How long it takes
A small overgrown section can be a day or two. A full block with big trees and heavy scrub takes longer. Justin gives you a realistic timeframe at the quote so you can plan around it.
Consent
Most standard section clearing on private land doesn't need consent. Clearing native vegetation, or working near waterways and wetlands, can need sign-off from Northland Regional Council or fall under district plan rules. Justin flags anything worth checking when he assesses the site.
