Felling
We have a group of specialist timber contractors with the appropriate plant and equipment who we select for each job. We then supervise the work to make sure the workmanship is good quality and acceptable to the Forestry Commission contract. In this way we get the benefit of their skills and experience to get a complete job with as few problems as possible and are able to make the most out of marketing the produce.

Since starting in the late sixties John and the company has probably been responsible for planting over a million trees across Southern England. Although we take trees down for a living we plant many hundreds for each one felled and we never take a tree down unless necessary.
