Tree removal and land clearing Adelaide Hills

Land clearing in Adelaide & South Australia since 1956

Welcome! Thanks for stopping by.

My name is Steve Trestrail. Back in 1956 my Father Gordon started a small earthmoving and land clearing business that I proudly carry on today. Over the years both earthworks and land clearing became such specialised operations that we decided to divide the company in two. This decision saw the genesis of Trestrail Earthmovers and Adelaide Hills Land Clearing.


At Adelaide Hills Land Clearing we provide our clients with a cost-effective solution for the safe and environmentally sensitive mechanical harvesting and extraction of trees. Whether the trees are plantation, fire damaged, wind breaks, to be harvested to reduce bush fire risk, or to return the land to pasture, native vegetation or for environmental benefit we can help.

A lot of our clients come to us unsure if they are legally allowed to remove their trees and what their obligations are. As such we wrote this GUIDE TO CLEARING LAND IN S.A. Otherwise please feel free to CONTACT US for a conversation about your specific requirements.

I couldn't recommend Adelaide Hills Land Clearing enough. Great service from great people at a great price. Nothing is too hard for these guys. Thanks Steve.

Steve and his guys actually cleared a few acres of old plantation pines off our land free of charge. They even left the land neat and tidy. Frankly I still can't believe it!
