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.
