Our Forestry & Logging Services

Timber Harvesting

Our professional timber harvesting services help landowners maximize the value of their timber while protecting the future of their woodlot.

We harvest:

• Hardwood timber

• Softwood timber

• Black locust

• Maple

• Oak

• Cherry

• Ash (where appropriate)

• Walnut

• Mixed hardwood stands

Every harvest is planned to improve forest health and long-term value.

Selective Logging

Selective harvesting removes mature or damaged trees while preserving younger, healthier growth.

Benefits include:

• Improved forest health

• Increased future timber value

• Better wildlife habitat

• Reduced overcrowding

• Healthier remaining trees

• Improved forest access

• Sustainable long-term management

Rather than clear-cutting, selective harvesting helps maintain a productive and healthy woodland.

Forest Management

Proper forest management helps protect one of your property's most valuable assets.

We assist landowners with:

• Timber evaluations

• Harvest planning

• Selective cutting

• Woodland improvement

• Wildlife habitat enhancement

• Invasive species management

• Forest access road construction

• Long-term timber management plans

We can also coordinate with qualified foresters when a detailed management plan or timber inventory is needed.

When logging is part of a larger project, we provide complete site development services including:

• Land clearing

• Forestry mulching

• Brush removal

• Stump removal

• Excavation

• Grading

• Building site preparation

• Driveway construction

Instead of hiring multiple contractors, you can work with one experienced team from timber harvest through construction-ready site preparation.

A successful timber harvest doesn't end when the logs leave the property.

• Trail restoration

• Erosion control

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my timber is valuable?

The value of standing timber depends on species, size, quality, accessibility, market conditions, and the overall health of your woodland. We can evaluate your property and discuss your harvesting options.

Do you clear-cut forests?

Not necessarily. Many landowners choose selective harvesting to improve forest health while maintaining long-term timber production. We work with your goals and the characteristics of your property to determine the best approach.

Can you clear the land after logging?

Yes. In addition to logging, we provide forestry mulching, stump removal, excavation, grading, and complete site preparation for new homes, barns, roads, agricultural projects, and commercial developments.

Do you remove brush and treetops?

Yes. We offer cleanup options that can include slash management, firewood processing, site restoration, and preparation for future land use.
