Lifestyle Section Clearing/Tidy

Kaipara Coast Highway

New owner of a neglected lifestyle section, requiring a serious clean up.
I am looking to have the area around the house cleared of weeds, some trees removed, kiukiu grass cut down and land readied for earthworks and drainage to be put in.

The job is too big for me and I don't have the right industrial tools or vehicles. The aim is to create an easily maintainable section around the house and driveway.
I've tried spraying weeds but it's just out of control.
