With 10 years experience in logging along with over 14 years in arboriculture we not only have the skills and knowledge we also have the passion to go the extra mile, getting your job done right first time.
We are an experienced ground based harvesting operation who takes pride in not only the job but also the equipment we use. We have a well trained team who hold the relevant qualifications and are consistently working on our skill set to obtain further, and maintaining our current skill.
At Bowman Contracting we understand the investment the landowner has made 20-30 years ago and the importance of getting the best return on your long term investment.
