Why the name Tilia Services?

Tilia x europeaus (Lime) avenue, Drottningholm Palace, Sweden

Tilia Services is named after a highly versatile group of trees.

Tilia is the Latin name given to the genus that contains Lime Trees (known as Linden in Northern Europe). They are used widely, growing in all types of fertile and less fertile soils and locations as:-

  • parkland and street trees, often forming long and impressive avenues,
  • in amenity planting,
  • hedges,
  • pleached walkways,
  • ornamental planting
  • significant woodland trees, especially present in ancient woodland.

 

Lime wood is also used widely for turning and carving in fine detail and for making artists' charcoal.

Throughout the Baltic states many countries consider the versatility and strength of Lime trees to be so important that they are the national tree.

With a company that works frequently within the designed and natural landscapes on a wide range of projects the strength of the name seemed utterly appropriate as a value to aspire to.

Coincidentally it turns out that Carl Linnaeus (arguably the most famous botanist of all time) was given his name from a family Linden tree that grew near to his father's childhood home when he was required to have a surname. He certainly is a figure that is an inspiration to many thousands even 300+ years after his birth.
