Land Clearing in Auckland
Blake Civil Construction provides land clearing services across Auckland for residential, rural, and commercial development projects. Whether you have an overgrown lifestyle block or a greenfield section with dense scrub and trees, our team clears the land and leaves it ready for the next stage of your build.
What is Land Clearing in Auckland?
Land clearing is the first step on many Auckland development projects. It involves removing trees, scrub, undergrowth, stumps, and green waste from a section so earthworks and construction can begin. We handle the full clearing process — from initial site assessment and consent checks through to stump removal, material disposal, and sediment control — so your site is clean, compliant, and ready to work on.
- Full vegetation removal including trees, scrub, and undergrowth
- Stump removal and stump grinding to clear root systems
- Mulching and green waste disposal or on-site recycling

When You Need Us
When You Need Land Clearing in Auckland in Auckland
Overgrown Lifestyle Block
Your rural section has not been maintained for years and is covered in scrub, blackberry, and self-seeded trees. We clear the vegetation back to bare ground so you can see the full extent of your land and plan your build.
Greenfield Subdivision Development
A raw block of land needs clearing before bulk earthworks can start on a new subdivision. We remove all vegetation and debris across the full site, install sediment controls, and prepare the ground for the earthmoving team.
Fire Risk Vegetation Around Buildings
Dry scrub, long grass, and dead trees around an existing home or farm building create a fire hazard during Auckland's dry summers. We clear vegetation to create defensible space and reduce fire risk on your property.
Access Track Clearing
You cannot reach the building site because trees and bush block the proposed driveway route. We cut a track through the vegetation, remove stumps from the alignment, and form a working access so machinery can get in.
Section Clearing Before a New House Build
Your section is covered in trees and scrub that need to go before the house foundation can be dug. We clear the building platform area and work zone, leaving buffer vegetation where your landscape plan or consent conditions require it.
Clearing for a New Fence Line
Boundary vegetation has grown up over decades and now blocks access for new fencing. We clear along the boundary so your fencing contractor can get a clean line in and you can see where your property actually ends.
Removing Fallen Trees After a Storm
A storm has brought down trees across your section, blocking access and damaging ground. We cut up and remove fallen timber, grind the stumps, and clear the debris so the property is safe and usable again.
Clearing Invasive Weeds and Pest Plants
Invasive species like woolly nightshade, privet, or wild ginger have taken over parts of your property. We remove the invasive vegetation and dispose of it correctly so it does not spread to neighbouring land.
Our Process
Our Land Clearing in Auckland Process
Blake Civil Construction follows a systematic approach for every land clearing in auckland project.
Site Assessment and Scope Walkthrough
We visit the site to assess the type and density of vegetation, the terrain, any protected trees or Significant Natural Areas, and the best approach for machinery access. This lets us give you an accurate quote and a clear plan.
Consent and Compliance Check
We check whether your clearing work falls within Auckland Council permitted activity rules or whether resource consent is needed — particularly for native vegetation, notable trees listed in the Unitary Plan, or land within Significant Natural Areas.
Clearing Method and Machinery Selection
Depending on the vegetation type, terrain, and site access, we select the right approach — excavator-mounted mulching heads for heavy scrub, chainsaws for large trees, or a combination of both for mixed vegetation sites.
Stump Removal and Root Clearing
After trees and scrub are cleared, we remove stumps by grinding them below ground level or pulling them out with an excavator. Root material in the building footprint is removed so it does not interfere with earthworks or foundations.
Material Disposal and Green Waste Management
Cleared vegetation is either mulched on-site and spread where appropriate, or loaded onto trucks and carted to a licensed green waste facility. We keep the site tidy throughout the clearing process.
Sediment Control and Site Handover
Once clearing is complete, we install or maintain sediment control measures — silt fences, stabilised entry points, and erosion blankets where needed — and hand the site over ready for earthworks or construction to begin.

Why Choose Us
Why Choose Blake Civil for Land Clearing in Auckland?
Machinery Matched to the Job
Our fleet includes excavators with mulching heads, tree shears, and grapple attachments — plus tip trucks for carting material. We match the gear to your site so the clearing is done quickly without damaging ground you want to keep.
Consent Knowledge
We know Auckland's rules around native vegetation removal, Significant Natural Areas, and notable trees. Before any clearing starts, we make sure you understand what consents are needed and what vegetation must stay.
Erosion and Sediment Control
Exposed ground after clearing is vulnerable to erosion, especially on Auckland's clay soils. We install sediment controls during and after clearing to keep soil on your site and meet Auckland Council requirements.
Rural and Steep Site Experience
Many Auckland sections that need clearing are on steep terrain or in rural areas with limited access. Our operators have years of experience working on difficult ground across the Rodney and North Auckland countryside.
Clean and Tidy Sites
We do not leave your property looking like a bomb site. Cleared material is processed, disposed of, or stacked neatly. When we finish, the ground is clear, the debris is gone, and the site is ready for the next trade.
One Contractor for Clearing and Earthworks
Because we also handle all earthworks, you can keep the same team on site from land clearing right through to building pad preparation. One contractor, one point of contact, no gaps between trades.
