From Forest to the Floor: Olive Ash Flooring in a South West Cornwall Watermill
At Aspen and Ash, we are passionate about creating sustainable, top-quality wood flooring that tells a story. One of our recent projects in South West Cornwall is a perfect example of how we combine craftsmanship with care for the environment. An ash tree had grown too close to a roadside and, for safety reasons, had to be felled. Rather than letting this beautiful tree go to waste, our team gave it a second life by transforming it into elegant Olive Ash flooring for a watermill renovation. In less than three months, the journey went from forest to finished floor – a truly remarkable transformation.
Sustainable Floor Installation in Cornwall
Based in Cornwall, Aspen and Ash specialise in floor installation that blends quality with sustainability. Every floor we create is more than just a surface – it’s a piece of local history and natural beauty, designed to last for generations. For the watermill project, we carefully processed the felled ash tree, milled it into planks, and finished it to highlight the striking grain and warm tones that Olive Ash is known for. The result was a floor that not only enhanced the character of the watermill but also carried with it a unique story of rescue and renewal.
