Hazard Tree RemovalForest Fuel ReductionLogging Operationstimber harvesting services

C.T.L. Forest Management, Inc. is a logging and forestry contractor based in Cameron Park, California. The company has provided forestry management and environmental restoration services since 1978, working with private landowners as well as federal, state, and municipal clients. Their work covers hazard tree removal, forest fuel reduction, and logging operations, including full timber harvesting services. They describe handling the whole job, from felling and skidding to log sorting and transport. They work in mixed conifer forests and oak woodland, and list El Dorado County among the areas they serve, with work also named in California, Oregon, and Nevada. The company points to its role in the Camp Fire response, first for initial site stabilization and later for roadside hazard tree removal, work done across steep slopes, water courses, and mixed conifer and oak woodland terrain. They describe themselves as "a leader in the hazard tree management industry" and note their focus on "low-impact environmental restoration" alongside standard logging work. This fits a landowner dealing with fire-damaged or hazard timber, steep or sensitive ground, or a property that overlaps with larger public land and roadside projects, rather than a small, straightforward one-time harvest.

Volcano Creek Enterprises, Inc. is based in Foresthill, California, and works in vegetation management, land clearing, and logging, serving Placer County. They handle shaded fuel breaks and fuel load reduction, land and brush clearing, mechanical thinning, defensible space work, fire suppression support and repair, timber harvesting, and hazard tree removal. The company has been operating for "over 25 years" and describes its approach this way: "Our experienced crews utilize specialized equipment and industry-best practices to assess, plan, and execute wildfire mitigation projects tailored to the unique needs of each landscape." Alongside logging, they also run separate trucking operations for timber transport. Their stated mission ties fire risk reduction to forest health, using thinning, harvesting, and brush removal together rather than as separate jobs. They describe their broader work as helping "protect properties, improve land health, and support sustainable forestry," and also take on beautification and restoration of overgrown or neglected land, not just fire-related clearing. This fits a landowner near Foresthill or elsewhere in Placer County who has brush, fire risk, or overgrown land alongside timber to deal with, and who wants one crew that handles clearing, thinning, and harvesting together rather than hiring separate contractors for each.

A&F Enterprises Logging & Excavating is a logging and excavating outfit based in Cedar Ridge, California, founded in 1992 in Grass Valley. It's family-owned and has been doing this work for over 30 years. The work covers more than just logging: land clearing, lot clearing, site preparation, tree removal, logging services, trenching, compaction, masticating, road construction, and tree buying. It also handles fire safety and vegetation management work, including defensible space and wildfire prep, and it names forest service and forest management among what it offers. It's licensed for both logging and excavating, bonded, and insured, and it's contracted with the US Forest Service and CalFire. It belongs to the Nevada County Contractors' Association and Associated California Loggers. It's named as serving Placer County, with areas named including Nevada County, Grass Valley, and Northern California more broadly. No tree species are named, and there's no detailed walk-through of how a timber sale runs here, so a landowner would want to ask directly about that. In its own words, the work is meant to help landowners "protect and enhance their property," and the aim is "honest, high-quality work." This one suits a landowner whose land needs more than just timber cut, someone also thinking about fire safety, clearing, or site work alongside the trees, rather than a straightforward stumpage sale.

Cedar Creek Horselogging and Milling, also known as Cedar Creek Lumber, is a sawmill and logging outfit based in Nevada City, California. They've been at it for over 40 years, cutting and custom milling lumber for home and commercial jobs. They handle logging, milling, and some woodworking and retail too. Species they cut include cedar, pine, fir, oak, and madrone, in sizes from 1"x2" up to 8"x12" and lengths up to 30 feet. Their services cover a wide range: cedar siding, decking, barn siding and corral boards, rough cut and specialty cut lumber, flooring, paneling, fencing, timbers, garden boards, and custom milling of customer logs. They work in Nevada County. On why cedar matters to them, they note that "California Incense Cedar is prized for its resistant to rot and decay" and point to its "natural insect repellent properties" as part of what makes it good for siding, decking, and trim. This looks like a fit for a landowner near Nevada City who wants milling done on logs already down, or who's after cedar, pine, fir, oak, or madrone lumber cut to size for a building project, rather than someone looking for a standing timber sale handled start to finish.

Custom MillingPortable SawmillTree RemovalFellingWood Recovery+1 more

Out of the Woods is a sawmill in Santa Cruz, California, running since 1999. They do a lot more than cut lumber. Their work covers tree removal, felling, stump grinding, hauling, custom and portable milling, lumber grading, drying, planing, and finished millwork, right through to tree to table projects. They're a licensed timber operator and say they are "fully licensed and insured." They work in redwood (including old growth), Douglas fir, tanoak, and walnut, plus bay laurel, big leaf maple, Monterey pine, Ponderosa pine, Monterey cypress, Pacific madrone, coastal live oak, blue gum, and eucalyptus. Their portable mill setup needs an 8 by 20 foot clear, semi flat space, and they bring either a Wood-Mizer for logs up to 36 inches or a Lucas swing blade or slabber for anything bigger. They also take on salvaged and reclaimed logs and lumber. There's no stated minimum acreage, but their past jobs range from single fallen trees on residential land, like the Woodside project milling one fallen redwood for a family wedding, up to larger commissions like a corporate campus bench wall and a 50 foot temple pole. So this isn't a business set up around tract size: it's built around the job in front of them, as they put it, "No project is too crazy or too small." This fits a landowner in the Santa Cruz area with a single notable tree, storm damage, or a small stand to clear, who wants someone who will mill on-site rather than just haul logs away.

Bordges Timber Inc is a logging outfit in Diamond Springs, California, working in El Dorado County. They have been in the "Forestry Management and Fire Suppression Industry for over 40 years."

Services include logging, brush removal, hazardous tree removal, mastication, fire suppression and repair, vegetation management, chipping, and road clearing. They list themselves as "insured and bondable" and point to specialties like fuel reduction projects, hazard tree identification and removal, mastication, and whole tree thinning. The company has worked on fuel reduction projects with agencies and partners such as USFS, Nevada Dept of Forestry, PG&E, Cal Fire, El Dorado County Fire Safe, Amador County Fire Safe, Butte County, AT&T, Lake County Water Agency, and BLM.

Their president, Tim Bordges, has purchased timber sales on the Tahoe National Forest, El Dorado National Forest, Plumas and Stanislaus National Forest, and has logging experience in skidding and felling. He has served as past President of the California Loggers Association and sits on the California Cattlemen's Association and National Wildfire Suppression Association boards. This fits a landowner in El Dorado County who is thinking about fire risk and fuel reduction as much as, or more than, selling logs, and who wants a crew with long-standing ties to forestry agencies and fire safe councils in the area.

Sustainable Logging & Timber HarvestingForest Management & Fire PreventionLand Restoration & ConservationCustom Logging SolutionsTimber Valuation & Appraisal Services+1 more

Elsi Logging LLC is a logging contractor and forestry consultant based in Fortuna, California, working in Humboldt County. It's a Native American woman-owned business, and the owner grew up in logging camps in Trinity County before starting the company here on the Redwood Coast. The work covers sustainable logging and timber harvesting in redwood, along with forest management and fire prevention: thinning, firebreak construction, controlled burns, and tree health assessments. They also do land restoration and conservation work, including reforestation, erosion control, riparian and wetland restoration, invasive species removal, and carbon sequestration projects. For landowners selling timber, they offer timber valuation and appraisal, long-term forest management planning, and guidance on selective harvesting versus clear-cutting, plus wood processing and transportation. They describe their approach as blending "traditional ecological knowledge" with modern forestry techniques, and use selective harvesting and reduced impact logging methods rather than clear-cutting. They serve communities throughout Humboldt County, including Eureka, Arcata, Fortuna, and Garberville, and work with private landowners, conservation groups, tribal entities, and government agencies. Their stated mission is "to deliver high-quality logging services while respecting the ecosystem, community, and tribal heritage." This fits a Humboldt County landowner who wants more than a straight timber sale: someone interested in selective cutting over clear-cutting, habitat or watershed restoration alongside the harvest, or working with a locally rooted, tribally connected operation.

Robinson Enterprises Inc. is a logging contractor based in Nevada City, California, up in the Gold Country foothills. The family-rooted outfit got its start in 1949 and has been doing timber harvest management for over 70 years, working on jobs in National Forests, the State Park system, and private land alike. They handle full logging services and equipment, mastication, defensible space work, and land clearing, and they also build logging roads as part of site work. On the harvest side they say "we can perform the entire harvest or a single phase," so you can hire them for the whole job from first call to logs at the mill, or just bring them in for one part of it. They hold a CSLB Class A/Haz license, number 322436. Their service area covers Northern California and Northern Nevada, and Nevada County is where they're rooted and where they're listed as serving. No species or tract size is spelled out, so you'd want to call and ask whether your parcel and your timber fit what they take on. This is a long-running, multi-service logging company suited to landowners in the Nevada City area who want one contractor able to run a harvest start to finish, including the access road and brush clearing that often come with it.

Sierra Forestry Consulting, LLC is a forestry consulting and logging business based in Oakhurst, California. It is set up to work with landowners as well as utilities and agencies, and it covers Madera County. The work it takes on runs from standing timber to the paperwork around it: tree harvesting, planting, logging, timber tract operations, tree line assessments, evaluation of hazardous trees, logging remediation and gathering, wildfire prevention, project management, safety consulting, natural resource stewardship, environmental assessments, wood product manufacturing, lumber grading, forest management, and vegetation management. The business describes its approach as delivering "holistic forest management" for the people it works with, and sums up its own attitude toward tough jobs as "we are the solution." On credentials, Sierra Forestry Consulting holds licensed timber operator (LTO) status and certified arborist standing with the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). Staff also carry the ISA Board Certified Master Arborist and ISA Utility Specialist designations, ISA Traq certification, Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) membership including Certified Treecare Safety Professional status, and a connection to the Western Chapter of the ISA. The business was founded in 2018, started up to meet demand for expert arborists in utility vegetation management work. This fits a landowner whose property touches power lines, sits in wildfire-prone ground, or who wants a consultant that also carries arborist and safety credentials alongside the logging side, rather than a straightforward timber-sale broker.

Stump to Mill Logging ServicesMastication & Fire ProtectionHazard Tree RemovalFull Clean-Up & HaulingLand & Brush Clearing

Moore Logging is a family logging and land-clearing outfit based in Palo Cedro, California, run by owner Floyd Moore. It's been operating since 1995. The main work is logging, "Stump to Mill Logging Services," along with hazard tree removal, mastication for fire protection, land and brush clearing, and full clean-up and hauling afterward. They hold California CSLB License #1050927. The smallest acreage category on their own quote form is 1-4 acres, so that looks to be the smallest size of job they take on, though they also describe handling "large rural properties." They serve Tehama County and describe their wider service area as Northern California's inland and coastal communities, from Chico north to the California-Oregon border, with mention of Southern Oregon as well. No species or timber-buying process is spelled out, the work described is more logging and clearing than a timber sale walkthrough, so landowners wanting help pricing or marketing standing timber should ask directly what that process looks like with them. This fits a landowner near Palo Cedro or along the Chico-to-Oregon-border corridor who needs trees logged, hazard trees pulled, or land cleared and cleaned up, rather than someone just hunting for a timber buyer.

Santa Cruz Sustainable Sawmill is a locally owned sawmill based in Santa Cruz, California. They've been at it over a decade, running mobile milling along with custom lumber and live-edge slabs. Their work covers custom lumber cut to dimension, on-site milling, surfacing and re-saw work, custom woodwork, and live-edge slabs. They cut from a variety of wood species, using wood that's fallen or sustainably harvested, "from our yard or yours." For standing timber they do what they call "select, non-invasive tree extrication using small scale harvesting methods with minimal impact to our native forestry," rather than a full harvest. They say they're fully insured and work with individual landowners as well as businesses, contractors, and designers. They serve Santa Cruz County, the greater Bay Area, and Monterey Bay, and they'll come to your property with mobile equipment rather than making you haul logs to a yard, though they also have a Westside Santa Cruz location if you want to see what they have in stock. This fits a landowner with a few trees down or a small selective cut who wants custom lumber or slabs out of their own wood, not someone looking to sell a whole stand of timber for harvest.

Questions landowners ask

How many independent loggers are there in California?

89 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the California forestry register, covering 24 counties between them.

How do I choose between them?

Start local and get more than one. A business based in your county knows the mills and the ground; one registered for all one hundred counties may be three hours away. Every listing here shows how far its office is from the county you are looking at, so "will travel" is never mistaken for "is local". TimberClear has not vetted, verified or endorsed anybody on this site.
