C. L. Taylor Timber

About C. L. Taylor Timber

C. L. Taylor Timber is a logging and timber-buying business based in Kingston, Arkansas. It's family-owned, run by the Taylor family, and by the summer of 2024 it marks 51 years in the business. The company buys and harvests pine, red cedar, and all hardwoods, taking in sawlogs, pulpwood, chip-n-saw, ply and veneer logs, pallet logs, handle logs, tie logs, and shavings logs. A sale runs in steps: they come look at your trees and give you a summary of what's harvestable along with an appraisal, you get a written contract to review before anything is cut, then harvest follows an agreed plan, and they clean up afterward, keeping limbs out of waterways and seeding the trails. They also do dozer work, tree marking, management plans, and firewood. They work in Benton, Boone, Carroll, Crawford, Franklin, Johnson, Logan, Madison, Marion, Newton, Pope, Sebastian, and Washington counties. The crew has completed the Arkansas Master Loggers Course and is listed as a Master Logger. Their equipment includes a dozer, farm tractor, feller-buncher, knuckleboom loader, and rubber-tired skidder. There's no stated minimum acreage, but the smallest job on record is the 40 acres of timber that founder Clifford Taylor bought to start the business. On their own harvesting page, they say the aim is "treating your property like it's our own." This fits a landowner in those northwest Arkansas counties with a modest hardwood or pine tract, who wants a written contract and a cleanup plan spelled out before any cutting starts.
