Silvanus Services Ltd was originally established to restore neglected broadleaved woodland. Woodland work is our core business and we specialise in tree planting & woodland management.

Our team of experienced and qualified foresters offer the full range of tree planting & woodland services.

Tree & hedgerow planting
We specialise in the design & planting of woodlands, for a variety of objectives. We plant around half a million trees per year and so our local teams are very experienced at tree & hedgerow planting schemes. Our contacts with both trade and local nurseries mean we can be competitively priced. We offer survival guarantees & maintenance packages if appropriate.
