Removalists in Burnside: slopes and driveways

Burnside sits in the City of Burnside, with Greenhill Road along its southern side and Burnside Village shopping centre near its western edge. East of Portrush Road the land starts to rise, and the higher streets climb towards the hills face. Homes on the rising ground often have steep driveways, front steps, split levels and gardens terraced into the slope. A large truck may not be able to get up a steep or narrow driveway at all, which means a longer carry, and every extra step between the truck and the door adds time and needs more hands for the heaviest pieces.

• Tell us how steep and how long the driveway is, and whether it is sealed or gravel.
• Count the steps from the street to the front door, and any stairs inside the house.
• Mention split levels, a lower-ground rumpus room or a garden studio with furniture in it.
• Say where a truck could park safely: on the street, at the top of the drive or in a turning area.

Large homes and fine furniture

Some of Adelaide’s larger homes are in these suburbs, with formal dining rooms, studies and several living areas, and the furniture often includes antique pieces, pianos, large dining suites and heavy outdoor settings. A household like that is planned as one job: the right truck from Moveall’s 3, 5 and 8 tonne Pantechs, a crew sized to the furniture list, and Moveall’s Supercharge option for very heavy items such as a piano or a pool table, which adds extra team members and specialty equipment.

Magill

Magill stretches along Magill Road towards the foothills, home to the old Penfolds Magill Estate winery and to a mix of older houses, post-war homes and units. Magill Road is a busy main road, so a truck cannot always stand outside a house that faces it; the side streets are usually easier. Upper Magill climbs further, with the same slopes and driveways as the rest of the foothills.

Campbelltown

Campbelltown lies to the north, along Lower North East Road, with the River Torrens Linear Park on its northern edge. Housing is largely family homes and units on flatter ground than Burnside, though the eastern streets rise towards the hills. Units bring shared driveways and body corporate rules about moving, so check those before the day.

Weather in the foothills

Rain on a moving day changes the plan in the foothills more than on the plains: wet steps, slippery paths and a muddy lawn between the truck and the door. Every piece is wrapped in moving blankets and stretch wrap before it leaves the room, which keeps it dry on the way to the truck, and Moveall’s Pantech trucks are enclosed. On hot days the same enclosed truck keeps furniture out of the sun.
