Company Introduction

Silvanus Services is a landscaping, woodland and tree surgery company. We operate throughout the South West and provide contracting and consultancy services to a range of clients.

The company was established in 1987 by The Silvanus Trust (a leading West Country environmental charity) to restore neglected broadleaved woodlands in the West Country.

Over the last 24 years the company and its range of services have expanded considerably. Following a Management Buyout in 2003 the company became independent.

The company was purchased by Glendale Managed Services www.glendale-services.co.uk in 2008, but continues to contribute financially to the charity each year.
