At ADS Timber, we provide a complete timber harvesting service for forestry projects across the UK. Based in North Yorkshire and operating nationwide, we work with forestry agents, estate managers, commercial woodland owners and private clients who need a competent and reliable team to manage all aspects of timber felling. With extensive experience and modern machinery, we are equipped to handle everything from light thinning and selective felling to large-scale commercial harvesting.

Timber harvesting is a critical operation in woodland management, and we approach every site with care, precision and a strong focus on safety. Our operators are highly trained and experienced in mechanical and manual felling, working to current UK forestry standards and environmental guidelines. Whether the objective is timber production, habitat improvement, disease removal or woodland restructuring, we can tailor our harvesting approach to meet your management plan.

We use modern harvesters capable of processing timber quickly and accurately, improving productivity and ensuring precise timber measurement and stacking. Where access, ground conditions or conservation requirements limit machine entry, we can combine mechanical harvesting with skilled chainsaw felling. This hybrid approach allows us to work efficiently in challenging or sensitive environments while maintaining full control over quality and compliance.

Safety is central to our operations. All harvesting work is risk assessed, fully supervised and carried out using machinery and equipment that meets current regulations. Our team hold relevant industry qualifications and work in line with all necessary health, safety and environmental standards. We also take care to protect surrounding woodland, wildlife and watercourses, ensuring that felling is controlled, responsible and respectful to the wider landscape.

As part of our full contracting service, we can integrate harvesting with timber forwarding, site clearance, brash raking and ground preparation for restocking. This smooth and efficient service allows our clients to manage their woodland projects through a single contractor, improving communication and reducing delays. From the first cut to the final extraction, we provide a reliable and consistent service that works to your specification.

We are experienced in working across a wide range of woodland types. From upland conifer plantations to mixed native woodland, steep terrain and windblown timber, our team have the knowledge and capability to plan and execute safe, efficient felling operations. We regularly undertake jobs that require technical solutions, including difficult terrain, restricted access or sensitive ecological conditions.

Our work supports both large-scale commercial forestry and smaller private woodlands. Whether your focus is producing high-value timber, removing diseased trees, improving biodiversity or preparing for replanting, we can assist with a fully managed harvesting service. We understand the long-term value of well-managed woodland and take pride in working responsibly to help clients achieve their management goals.
