Logging and land clearing services
Log harvesting
If you have plantation specification stands of pine or Blue Gum on your property in and around the Adelaide hills then you may well earn some money from it's removal.
​
Unlike native forests, which are multi-age and have a variety of species, plantations were all planted at the same time so they are the same age and usually only one or two species. This means all the trees are mature and ready to harvest at the same time. Unlike native forests, where trees are harvested selectively and naturally regenerated, plantation trees are all a in a single operation when mature and then replanted.
Before any plantation harvesting operation, there is a detailed planning process that identifies and sets aside areas for protection, such as buffer zones around waterways, areas on steep slopes, trees with hollows that may be wildlife habitat and other environmental features.
​
Plantation specification also allows for access for forestry equipment including turn around points. All these considerations make the harvesting of the timber a much faster and easier prospect. It is also true that you would not bother to plant anything in plantation specification unless it would be of value when it is mature. Adelaide Hills Logging have relationships with numerous sawmills and timber processing entities around the state.

Tree felling & log haulage
The vast majority of tree stands that we remove in the Adelaide Hills are not plantation standard They are wind brakes, or more commonly natural infestations of significant weed trees such as Radiata Pine. In these cases sadly there is no fiscal return to the landowner. The same process however applies.
