Every project is approached with the same focus on safety, sustainability, and client satisfaction, making us a trusted forestry partner across the region.

Our services in Leeds cover a complete range of forestry operations. We manage thinning to promote healthy woodland growth, selective felling to balance ecosystems, and the licensed removal of dangerous or diseased trees.

Using modern equipment and skilled operators, we ensure each task is completed efficiently and to the highest standards of safety and environmental care.

Our Services Include:
  • Timber forwarding & harvesting
    We handle timber extraction and processing with precision and care, using suitable equipment to minimise damage to the site and surrounding trees.

  • Manual tree felling & chainsaw work
    Fully trained and experienced in manual felling, we take down trees safely and efficiently, even in awkward or confined locations.

  • Winching & dangerous tree removal
    Got a tree that’s dead, diseased or hanging dangerously over a road or building? We’re licensed and fully equipped to remove problem trees, and we specialise in high-risk jobs.

  • Licensed diseased tree removal
    We are licensed to safely remove and dispose of trees affected by disease, helping to prevent spread and maintain woodland health.

  • Brash raking & chipping
    Once the timber’s been extracted, we can rake up and chip leftover brash to leave the site clean, tidy and ready for whatever comes next.

  • Digging new tracks & clearing old ones
    Need better access through your woodland? We dig new forestry tracks and restore old ones, making it easier for machinery, workers, or landowners to move through.

  • Site preparation for replanting
    After felling, we can prepare your site for the next phase — including clearing brash, removing stumps, and getting the land ready for replanting or restoration.
