what we do
We are a full service logging company specializing in selection cutting, clear cutting, and land clearing. We are fully mechanized, with the equipment to handle most any job that central PA can throw at us.
-
Select cut logging (or selection cutting) is a sustainable forestry method where loggers selectively harvest specific trees from a forest stand, leaving others to grow, promoting forest health, biodiversity, and creating an uneven-aged forest with ongoing income, unlike clear-cutting which removes all trees.
Select cutting is a balance of harvesting valuable timber now and preserving the forest’s health for future harvests. We pride ourselves on understanding the current market, processing trees accordingly, thereby maximizing return for the landowner.
We have the knowledge and expertise to properly manage your timberland. We consult directly with the landowner or a consulting forester to harvest the desired trees and meet the landowner’s goals.
-
Sometimes the job requires harvesting all the trees in a specific area of a timberland. This is often done for restoration purposes or to prepare land for development. We have experience with both.
We’ve worked mine restoration jobs, cleared land for dam replacements, and clear cut patches of woodland for home builds. We pull together the right knowledge and equipment to get the job done.

We service all of Pennsylvania. Have timber? Don’t hesitate to call.
Our Process
Consult
We meet with the landowner, forester or contractor to understand the scale, scope and specifications of the job. We work with all involved parties to create terms that are fair for both sides.
Plan
We pride ourselves on execution and that starts with a good plan. Logistics need lined up, roads might need bonded, and sometimes municipalities require permits. We make sure our ducks are in a row before a saw ever sinks into a tree.
Execute
We commence harvesting. We fell, skid, buck and truck until the job is done. We take great care to maximize the value of the harvested trees. We take the time to understand the market and merchandise logs accordingly.
Finalize
The fun part is over and it’s time to leave the job. We make sure the terms of the job have been met, landings are restored, and all payments have been settled. We close out permits, road bonds, etc and then it’s on to the next one.
