Every stage of the work is managed by experienced operators using modern machinery, ensuring safety, efficiency, and consistent results.

Clients in Rotherham choose ADS Timber because we have the expertise to manage challenging projects. Woodlands with limited access, steep terrain, or diseased timber require a careful approach, and our team is well equipped to deliver effective solutions.

This flexibility makes us the first choice for organisations that require reliable forestry work delivered to the highest standards.

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.

Trusted Across Yorkshire for Over 35 Years

We hired A.D.S. Timber to carry out woodland thinning and tree felling on our property in the Dales. Andy and the team were professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. The job was completed efficiently, and the site was left tidy and well-managed. Highly recommend!

I’ve worked with several forestry contractors over the years, and A.D.S. Timber is by far the best. Their knowledge of woodland management is second to none, and their equipment is top of the line. It’s rare to find such a well-rounded team that delivers on every promise.

We've used A.D.S. Timber multiple times for woodland maintenance on our estate and they’ve always done an excellent job. Whether it’s winching awkward trees or chipping brash, they handle every task with care and attention. A pleasure to work with.
