In the early 1980's, we began the initial operations of our sawmill in the Dublin Mountains. O'Kelly's Sawmill & The Shed Man was officially established in 1986 by Henry & Shirley O'Kelly. Over the past 37+ years the company has grown and re-branded under the name Timbertrove.
Timbertrove is a unique, award winning, 100% Irish Owned Family Business with years of experience in the design, manufacture and installation of top quality timber products.
We believe our success is based on differentiation through innovative design, quality materials and craftmanship in addition to superior customer service. We have a very experienced and dedicated workforce. Our company is C2 registered and fully insured.
We are situated in the foothills of the Dublin Mountains, opposite the Hellfire Club. Since 2009, we've been serving coffee. Timbertrove Scones quickly became our best-selling product soon after our Country Store & Cafe was established.
