Site Clearance

Site clearance is often the first phase of developing a site: demolition or building removal, vegetation and tree felling, and disposal of unsuitable materials.

The first phase of a new site

Before a platform can be cut or a road formed, whatever is on the site has to come off it. Beacon Hill Contracting clears sites for farm conversions, house sites and commercial builds: old buildings demolished or removed, trees felled and stumps pulled, scrub and vegetation cleared, and unsuitable material dug out and carted away.

Tree and stump removal and general tidy ups have been on our services list for years, and our own trucks take the spoil, stumps and demolition material away, so the site is ready for bulk earthworks or a commercial build.

What site clearance includes

Demolition or building removal

Old buildings taken down or removed so the site can be developed.

Vegetation and tree felling

Trees felled and scrub and vegetation cleared back to bare ground.

Stump removal and general tidy ups

Stumps pulled, roots grubbed and the site tidied, on our list from the start.

Disposal of unsuitable materials

Soft or unsuitable material dug out and carted off the site on our own trucks.

Clearing counts as earthworks

Waikato Regional Council classes vegetation removal, along with trenching, cut to fill and roading, as earthworks, and its earthworks rules require erosion and sediment controls to be installed and maintained on every soil disturbing job in the region, whether or not it needs a consent. We put the controls in as part of the clearance, so the bare ground is managed from the first day.
