About KSM Forest & Land
KSM Forest and Land provides no-fuss, professional services to landowners, estates, developers, and rural businesses across Aberdeenshire.
Led by Kieran MacBain, we specialise in land clearance, timber harvesting, replanting, and long-term woodland management, always with safety, compliance, and practicality at the core.

A Local Name You Can Rely On
We don’t overcomplicate things. We work with people who need their land sorted, whether that’s clearing scrub for fencing, harvest trees for income for landowners and estates, or for development purposes, or planning a new woodland.
We understand the land around here. We know the difference between getting a job done and getting it done properly. That’s what keeps our clients coming back, and what drives us to deliver quality work every time.
We work across Scotland, with a strong presence throughout the North East, including Inverurie, Huntly, Banchory, Ellon, Alford, and the wider Aberdeenshire area. Our projects also take us further afield to locations such as Oban, Tain, and the Scottish Borders. If you’re unsure whether we cover your area, just get in touch and we’ll be happy to advise.
How We Work at KSM
We aim to keep the process clear from day one. Here’s what you can expect when you work with KSM:
- Straightforward advice: no jargon or upselling
- Clear pricing and planning: we’ll tell you what’s needed and what isn’t
