Independent Loggers
Independent loggers are ideal for smaller parcels (1–10 acres) that larger operations pass on. They handle harvesting directly and often work with local mills.

Hatchers Timber is a timber buyer and logging outfit based in Middleburg, Florida. Randy Hatcher owns and runs it with his son Boone. They buy standing timber throughout Northeast Florida, in Clay, Duval, Alachua, Putnam, Baker, St. Johns, Bradford, Union, Flagler, and Nassau counties. Their sellers include private landowners, developers, and forestry consultants. They start by cruising your timber, looking at boundary lines, stand density, age and type of timber, and road access. After that they submit a bid. If it's accepted, you get a written contract and a logging plan that shows where cutting starts and where the loading ramp goes. They do their own harvesting and offer clearcut and thinning work. Products include chip n saw, pulpwood, saw timber, and poles. Hardwood and cypress are taken only when a mill will buy them. They follow best management practices, and debris can be piled or scattered, as you prefer. Every load that leaves the ramp is recorded on a load sheet, and you get a copy at the end of each week. Randy is a third generation logger, and he and Boone are both Florida Master Loggers. You deal directly with the logger, with "no middleman," and they say they want you to think of them "when it grows back." This suits landowners in those ten counties who want a written plan and who would rather talk straight to the people cutting their trees. From hatcherstimber.com, read 18 October 2026.

Gray Logging Shop LLC is a logging business in Madison, Florida, with its office and shop at 726 NE Delphinium Drive. Logging is its main trade, and it also buys timber. The business started in 1971 with W.C. Gray. His son Jerry Gray now manages it and runs two crews. Jerry buys tracts and makes the agreements with landowners himself, so you would deal with him directly. He says, "I love meeting landowners." The company works in Madison, and the family's past work includes Georgia, Florida, and New Mexico. The pages do not describe how a timber sale runs, what the smallest job is, or what species they cut now, so ask Jerry about those before you agree to anything. The office is open 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. You can call (850) 973-3863 during those hours. This suits a landowner who wants to talk with the man who will buy the timber, and who likes the idea of a family logging operation that has been in the woods for more than fifty years.

Bruner Lumber Co is a sawmill in Ponce De Leon, Florida, in the Northwest Florida part of the state. For over 35 years it has specialized in river recovered Sinker Cypress and Sinker Pine. In its own words, "we recover much of our lumber ourselves." The logs are old trees that sank while being floated to mills, and the company's divers search the old logging waterways of Northwest Florida and Southern Alabama for them. The work runs in three parts. Divers recover the logs, the logs are milled and dried on site, and the shop turns the wood into custom millwork. That includes flooring and ceiling planks, interior and exterior wall planks, corbels, brackets, rafter tails, and mantelpieces, plus custom profiles and special orders. The species it lists are Sinker Cypress, Pecky Sinker Cypress, Sinker Heart Pine, Tidewater Cypress, Sinker Pine, Longleaf Pine, and Curly Sinker Pine. It serves Walton County and can ship specialty lumber anywhere in the United States. A sample package costs $30. A project starts with a conversation about species, profiles, dimensions, and timeline. The shop is at 528 Sand Plant Road, open Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and weekends by appointment only. The office number is (850) 835-4833. This business suits a landowner who has old logs in a nearby river or creek and wants to know what they could become, and who would rather deal with a mill that recovers and mills its own wood.

Triangle Timber is a logging company based in Hilliard, Florida. It also does forestry consulting and timber buying, so one firm can cover more than the cut itself. The office is at 37387 Henry Smith Rd. The services are wood procurement, marketing timber, forestry oversight and management, logging, and reforestation. For a timber purchase, the wood procurement team handles the contract and acts as "a single point of contact for all your needs." Marketing help covers reaching the right channels and aiming for higher-value deals. Forestry management means a custom plan for your woodland, built around your economic, social and environmental goals and the rules that apply to it. The logging crew is experienced, fully trained and certified, and works to keep the harvest safe, efficient and on time. The machinery has GPS, so you can get job information remotely with a few clicks. After the harvest, Triangle Timber replants the woods and takes steps to make sure the new trees grow to maturity.

Nature Coast Land Solutions is a land clearing and site work business based in Brooksville, Florida. They call themselves "Firefighter Owned & Operated," and they specialize in forestry mulching and land clearing, with other site preparation work as well. Their work covers Levy County. The job comes in three stages. Forestry mulching comes first, using a drum mulcher to clear everything at ground level up to 8 inches and smaller. Land clearing follows, removing all the organic matter from ground level down so a foundation sits on sound ground. Site prep comes last. They level the ground and get it ready for sod, gravel or millings, whether that is a parking or RV space or a full driveway. This is clearing and ground work for building, not a timber sale. Their past jobs include a 5 acre lot cleared from fully forested to a fenced, gated entry, and a gravel parking area finished over several days. The smallest job they show is half an acre of forestry mulching for a couple building a barndominium. This suits a landowner who plans to build, add a pad or drive, or turn woods into a yard, rather than one who wants to sell standing timber. From nature-coastland.com, read 20 October 2026.

The company is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. The smallest acreage its pages show is 10.03 acres, the Maxton 510 Tract, which it has listed for sale. It describes itself as the "largest independent timber merchant in the Southeast," and it has over 100 timber buyers on staff.

Questions landowners ask
How many independent loggers are there in Florida?
52 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the Florida Forest Service forest products and services directory, covering consulting foresters and forest products buyers, together with the Forest Products Network mill directory, covering 33 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.
