Tree to Table
If your trees hold sentimental value, and you'd like to see them get a 2nd lease of life then we can turn your trees into useful timber.
​
We take care of the whole process, from felling or dismantling the tree to milling it into the timber you want.
​
Many of our clients have seen the potential in their trees and want to use them for various wood working projects. Whether its a new coffee table, desk or a unique headboard for the bed, there is always a use you might not have realised.
​
So instead of cutting your logs into firewood, re-think how you can put your trees to better use...
​
Tracked Chipper Hire
Have you got branches you want to turn into valuable mulch? Are they in an awkward, hard to reach spot? Look no further!
​
Our Jensen tracked chipper allows you to take the machine to the mess. With a large intake it will eat branches up to 9 inches in diameter, leaving the rest for firewood.
​
Variable tracks allow the machine to get through tight spots in back gardens and narrow corridors, up hills and down gulleys, saving you the drag of moving branches!
​
​
Slab Work
We work on all shapes and sizes of timber, but if you need your slab or beam cut, dressed, planed or sanded then we have the right tool for the job.
​
Timber often moves during the drying process, meaning your once flat slab might have cupped or bowed into an unusable shape.
​
With some of the most productive planer heads on the market, we provide an affordable and effective flattening service that brings your timber back into line.
​
Once the timber has been milled flat, we also sand timber down to the desired finish, leaving you with an outstanding natural product for a fraction of the retail cost.
