FAQs

Let’s clear up your land clearing questions

  • Land clearing is all about prepping your block for what’s next — whether that’s building, landscaping, or starting fresh. We take care of the lot:

    • Tree removal — Big or small, we’ll safely fell and remove unwanted trees.
    • Stump grinding — We grind those stumps down below the surface so you’ve got flat, build-ready ground.
    • Stump removal — If needed, we’ll bring out the heavy equipment and remove the entire stump, roots and all.
    • Scrub and undergrowth — Thick bush, vines, or stubborn weeds? Gone.
    • Debris haulage — We don’t leave a mess. All green waste is loaded up and taken away.
  • We keep things simple, clear, and on schedule — no mucking around.

    1. On-Site Assessment & Quote
      We’ll come out, check the site, and give you a straight-up quote. No hidden costs. No surprises.
    2. Safe & Efficient Clearing
      Our crew gets to work using the right machinery for the job — safely, quickly, and to plan.
    3. Final Site Tidy
      Once we’re done, we clean up properly. You’re left with a clear site that’s ready for the next stage.
  • Goats are great if you’ve got a paddock full of weeds or need the lawn mowed the old-school way. But if you’re clearing a block for construction — trees, stumps, heavy scrub — you’ll need a qualified arborist with the right gear. Goats aren’t taking down a gum tree anytime soon.

  • Simple — we take it with us. Your site will be left clean, tidy, and ready for whatever’s next. If you want your trees and stumps turned into mulch or wood chips, just let us know. We’re happy to sort that out.

  • It depends on a few things — how overgrown the land is, what’s on it, access, and how tricky the terrain is. Bigger trees, thicker scrub, or hard-to-reach spots might take a bit more time and gear. You might also need council permits before we can start, especially for tree removal. Best bet? Give us a call and we’ll come take a look.

  • Maybe. It depends on your local council — areas like Yarra Ranges, Whitehorse, Casey, or Mornington Peninsula often have rules around vegetation overlays. We always recommend checking with your council first. Not sure where to start? As experienced arborists in Melbourne’s eastern and south-eastern suburbs, we’re happy to point you in the right direction.

  • Absolutely. We’re experienced in clearing land to create defensible space that meets CFA bushfire safety guidelines. If you’re in a high-risk zone, this is a critical step to reduce fuel load and protect your property.

  • Most standard blocks can be done in 1 to 3 days. Bigger properties or thicker scrub might take a bit longer — and weather can play a part too. We’ll give you a solid timeline when we quote the job, so you know exactly what to expect.

  • We cover the eastern and south-eastern Melbourne metro areas and surrounding regions — from the Dandenong Ranges to the Mornington Peninsula, and plenty in between.

    Not sure if you’re in range? Just give us a ring and we’ll let you know.

Why should you choose MTS?

When it comes to tree work, you want a team who knows their stuff, turns up with a positive attitude, and gets the job done right the first time.

That’s exactly what you’ll find with us. We’re a small family-run business with over 15 years in the game, so we’ve pretty much seen it all — from tricky removals in tight spots to heavy rigging jobs over houses. No matter the challenge, we’re always up for it.

We don’t just rock up and cut down trees; we pride ourselves on doing things properly. We’re fully licensed, accredited, and insured, giving you peace of mind that your property’s in safe hands. Our crew are passionate about their work and take care to treat every jobsite with the respect it deserves. After all, it’s your home, not just a work site.
