Supplier of split and seasoned logs for all your needs.
G.S Treecare have been supplying split and seasoned logs for over 10 years.
Our logs are produced from our tree operations and are then processed into quality firewood.
Our firewood consist mainly of hardwoods such as Oak, Ash, Beech, Sycamore and Holly. We also include some aromatic woods such as Apple, Cherry, Plum and Eucalyptus. All logs are seasoned for a minimum of 12 months. Which means that the water content is taken down to 20-25% from typical values of 30-45%.
Our logs are then split and cut to order by hand, this means they come in a variety of shapes and sizes although we aim to cut them roughly to the size of 8 -12 inches.
G.S Treecare are able to supply firewood logs even when demand is at its highest during those long winter months - typically October through to January.
We can usually deliver the following day or sometimes even same day, totally free of charge!
G.S Treecare are environmentally aware and all our logs are from 100% sustainable sources.
