Land & site clearing in Winston HillsA clear boundary
for the clearing.
Three decisions set the scope and the price. We agree each one with you in writing before the work is booked.
What comes out
Mark the vegetation, stumps, debris and other agreed obstructions for removal. Tree work depends on the permission and scope for the property.
What stays protected
Identify retained trees, fences, driveways, structures and services. Access and exclusion areas need to be clear before work begins.
Clearing or excavation
Removing vegetation and debris does not automatically include cutting to building levels. Bulk earthworks, rock work and excavation are assessed and quoted separately.

Good work.
In their words.
A difficult job, sloping block and below road level. I was kept informed as I lived interstate by tele and photos. Very tidy and clean finish when I visited.
Did a great job at demolishing my garage for a reasonable price. When I asked them to remove extra rubbish that had not been planned for, they were more than happy to help.
After weeks of putting us off and not giving us a start time, we had to look elsewhere and Active were able to fit us in at short notice. Very impressed with how the lot was left.
Land & site clearing costsWhat shapes
the price?
Area, material volume, vegetation, stumps, machinery access, disposal and the finish required all affect the quote.

| Job | Typical range | What the figure covers |
|---|---|---|
| Small tree removal (under 5 m) | $290–$920per tree | Inc. GST (Sydney cost guide, October 2026). Access and what happens to the timber move it within the range. |
| Medium tree removal (5–10 m) | $920–$2,875per tree | Inc. GST (Sydney cost guide, October 2026). Trees near power lines or buildings cost more. |
| Stump grinding, small stump (under 30 cm) | $170–$345per stump | Inc. GST (Sydney cost guide, October 2026). Several stumps on one visit usually cost less each. |
| Concrete slab or path broken up and removed | $34–$150per m² | GST basis varies between sources: $34–$115 inc. GST including disposal in a Sydney guide; NSW guides put reinforced residential slabs at up to $150. |
| Green waste at a Sydney tip | $237–$360per tonne | GST not stated. One Sydney facility’s April 2026 rates: $237 a tonne for vegetation, $360 for oversized; trucks extra. |
What these rates cover
Clearing a suburban block is priced item by item: the trees, stumps and concrete that come out, the machine time and what each load costs at the tip. No published guide gives a fair typical total for a whole Sydney block, so these are the parts a quote is built from.
Your property in Winston HillsBefore work
starts.
Check tree and vegetation permissions for the actual address, including conditions affecting retained trees, roots and access. Permission for other building work does not automatically authorise every tree removal.
Apply before using the street
A skip or building waste bin on a Parramatta street or footpath needs a Waste Container Permit, applied for before any work in the road reserve. Hoardings and scaffolding over the road need approval too.
Parramatta permits for temporary use of public space (opens in a new tab)Plan around the trees that stay
The Hills Shire considers trees on the site and neighbouring land, including the effect of cut and fill, driveways and drainage. Confirm which trees may be removed and protect retained trees before agreeing machinery access or ground work.
The Hills tree and landscaping assessment guidance (opens in a new tab)Check heritage before setting the scope
Winston Hills has heritage-listed properties. Trees and landscaping can be part of a heritage setting. Confirm what can be cleared and how retained features must be protected.
Heritage mapping covers the suburb, so confirm the status of your property.
Check your address on the NSW Planning Portal (opens in a new tab)Conservation land
Some land in Winston Hills is zoned for environmental conservation or rural use, where clearing vegetation needs council’s advice first.
Council guidance checked between 15 September 2026 and 2 October 2026. These are matters to check, not a determination for an individual address. Your council or certifier confirms what applies.
How a land & site clearing runsFrom enquiry
to handover.
Three stages, in the order they happen. Who arranges each item is agreed before the job is booked.
- 01
Mark the scope
Walk through the boundaries, retained features and material to remove, and confirm the necessary permissions.
- 02
Clear the agreed area
Use suitable equipment for the access and scope, working around protected features and services.
- 03
Remove material and check
Complete the agreed load-out and review the site finish. Any further excavation is a separate scope.
Quotes are free. Call 7 days, 7am–7pm, or send the details and photos with the form below.
More about land & site clearingCan you clear around trees we’re keeping?
Yes. Retained trees, boundary planting, fences and services are marked before work starts and protected while we work. Your council confirms which trees need approval to remove.
What happens to the vegetation and concrete?
It’s loaded out and disposed of as the quote sets out, with concrete and green waste listed separately so you can see what each one costs.
How are neighbouring properties looked after?
Shared walls and driveways, neighbours’ fences and structures that stay are planned for before work starts, along with access, truck movements and who to call with questions.
