Professional Timber Harvesting Services in Ohio

It is important to harvest your trees about every 10 to 20 years. This will encourage the regrowth of new trees while also creating a habitat for wildlife. For instance, when we cut down a tree in the forest, we typically leave the tree’s top lying in the forest (slash). Our previous jobs have shown that as the slash naturally decays over time, it enriches the soil with nutrients, supporting the regrowth of new shrubs and trees.

These leftover tree tops create an excellent environment for small animals to find shelter.  Other forests without underbrush provide fewer places to live. Harvesting trees in your forest consistently promotes the regrowth of new trees and enhances the habitat for wildlife. Read More

Clear-cutting is often mistaken for land clearing. The two practices serve very different purposes.

Let’s look at clear-cutting. This way of harvesting trees leaves the trees top behind in a way that promotes regrowth and creates a healthier environment for animals.

On the other hand, land clearing completely removes a forest to make space for buildings or other developments.

Selectively clear-cutting trees in a dense forest supports a healthy regrowth cycle, allowing the ecosystem to thrive. Read More

No, because despite the growing U.S. population and increased deforestation, our forests still contain around 70% as many trees as they did five centuries ago, when Columbus arrived in the Americas.

Each year, people plant approximately 1.6 billion trees in the U.S. God designed trees as a renewable resource for us to use wisely. When we properly manage forests by selectively harvesting trees and promoting sustainable regrowth, forests become healthier and more abundant.

Cutting selective trees from a forest lets more sunlight reach the forest floor. Then, sunlight is there for small shrubs and plants to grow. As a result, small animals gain more food and shelter in areas that previously lacked them.

Although thinning a forest may temporarily displace some wildlife, it ultimately creates a healthier environment for small animals to thrive.

Our insurance will cover any damages to property or injuries to persons that may occur while we are harvesting trees. We will, accordingly, provide the documents for this insurance upon request.

Yes, in fact we pride ourselves in cleaning up the woods after the selected trees are harvested. We cut the slash trees so they lay low on the forest floor so they will provide a place of shelter for the wildlife and for the overall cosmetic of the forest. We also reseed skidder trails that have run through grassy areas.
