Back on the graft with a wilding pine tree clearance job up Alpine Retreat - stunner views for the boys to open up, with our Krpan winch making light work of hauling trees up to the skid site.

We processed all brash and logwood into woodchip for their upcoming native replanting programme, leaving a clean and tidy site for the next stage.

Due to the continued increase in diesel prices, our Fuel Adjustment Factor (FAF) will be updated from 10% to 16% effective immediately.

Since our last update, fuel prices have risen further, significantly increasing operating costs across our fleet.

We are now reviewing fuel costs on a weekly basis to ensure our pricing reflects current market conditions as fairly as possible.

We remain committed to providing reliable, professional service while maintaining safe and compliant operations.

We appreciate the continued support and understanding from our customers during these ongoing fuel increases.

Some great shots from at our yard the other day. The man has a serious eye for detail, finding beauty in the every day running of a sawmill.

We've been busy chipping invasive Crack Willow Trees with Rich from out at Tinwald Farm.

supplying their large trucks to cart the chip out makes for a good setup! All the chip will go directly into the composting setup, turning waste wood into a useful resource on their biodynamic farm.
