Free site visit. Free quotes. Hire or contract. NSW-wide capability.
Road and infrastructure clearing is a significant part of what Davis does.
We provide vegetation and land-clearing capability for projects including:
Large-scale clearing across government, infrastructure and industry.
One contractor. One integrated operation. Clearing vegetation is only step one; bulky logs, stumps, and green waste require a coordinated material-management strategy.
Planning the whole site upfront keeps projects safer, more predictable, and strictly on program. One contractor. One integrated operation. You don’t need to manage each stage separately. Planning the whole site up front keeps the job safer, more predictable and on program, with clearer accountability for safety, quality and program.
Clear it. Grind it. Leave it on site.
Forestry mulching cuts and grinds vegetation in place, returning the mulch to the land as natural compost.
A compact, powerful tracked forestry mulcher built for hard ground.
Dense vegetation and regrowth · Road and access corridors · Forestry and plantation work · Fire trails and firebreaks · Development-site preparation · Infrastructure corridors · Rural land and agricultural preparation · Stump grinding
Forestry mulcher hire or contract available.
Land clearing councils and government can rely on.
Davis works with councils and government agencies across NSW on road corridors, access, fire trails and land management works. Public-sector clearing demands safe systems, the right insurance, work within approved scope, and a contractor that mobilises, delivers and manages the job from start to finish. That is how we work.

50 YEARS OF EARTHMOVING EXPERIENCE
Davis brings decades of experience to complex earthmoving and land-clearing projects across NSW for councils, government, civil construction, transport, forestry, infrastructure, renewable energy, development and private-sector projects.
It’s about selecting the right approach, managing the site safely and efficiently, and delivering the outcome required for the next stage of the project — reliably.
From site assessment to site-ready ground.
Safety is our first priority on every clearing site, from planning, SWMS and risk assessments through to site operations. Our experienced operators work to safe systems of work, with site access, plant movements, exclusion zones and site-specific hazards, including trees, slopes, ground conditions and services, considered throughout the job. On council and government land, that includes controlling site access and exclusion zones to keep the public and other workers clear of clearing operations.
Davis provides large-scale tree and vegetation clearing, forestry mulching, road and infrastructure corridor clearing, fire trails, subdivisions, commercial developments, and rural projects across NSW.

Instead of managing separate contractors, Davis combines clearing with on-site mulching, shredding, grinding, material handling, and earthmoving under one contract.
Yes. Where suitable, we use high-capacity horizontal grinders, low-speed shredders, and forestry mulchers to process trees, timber, green waste, and debris directly on site.
Yes. We deploy specialized heavy plant—including excavators with tree shears, dozers, and tracked forestry machinery—tailored to the site’s terrain, density, and tree size.
Yes. We establish and maintain fire trails, construct firebreaks, and reduce vegetation fuel loads for councils, land managers, and forestry operations.
Yes. We regularly partner with NSW councils and government bodies under strict WHS systems, site risk assessments, environmental guidelines, and $30M public liability insurance.
Yes. Our complete fleet of privately owned equipment is available for both wet hire (with skilled operators) or full contract delivery across metropolitan and regional NSW.
