Country Landscapes inc. is a landscaping and land-care company based in Ames, Iowa, with other locations in Des Moines, Clear Lake and North Liberty. It has worked in the Midwest, including the Northern Iowa area and the eastern Iowa area, since it was founded in Ames in 1981.

A design job starts with an on-site visit where the designer takes pictures and gathers measurements, then moves to a presentation and a signed proposal before installation begins. It aims to provide "innovative design and quality installation" and "unsurpassed quality" in its design and construction work. This suits a landowner near Ames who wants one company that can handle both larger clearing or land-management work and ordinary landscaping, design and nursery needs.

Ollie, IA
Site preparationbrush management/invasive species managementtree planting by hand and machineplanting maintenance (e.g., chemical, mechanical)forest stand improvement (FSI)+1 more

Forest Legacy LLC is an independent forest management firm based in Ollie, Iowa. It describes itself as a firm that "aims to help landowners steward their forest resources," working across Southern Iowa and Northern Missouri. The work they take on covers the full range a woodland owner might need: site preparation, brush and invasive species management, tree planting by hand and machine, planting maintenance, forest stand improvement, forest management plan writing, timber sales and marketing, timber appraisal, and prescribed fire. Most timber sales they handle run on a sealed bid basis, "to encourage competitive bidding on the client's trees." As the landowner, you keep the right to accept or reject any bid, so if the offers come in low you can walk away without cutting a tree. Once you do accept, you sign a contract with the buyer covering timing, soil care, fences, residual trees, and the payment schedule, and the forester checks in on the logging operation to make sure the buyer holds up their end. Cody Widner started the company in the summer of 2021 and leads it as head forester, with Cassidy Widner working alongside him. The business is listed as an official member of the Association of Consulting Foresters. This fits a landowner in Southern Iowa or Northern Missouri who wants a forester to run the whole timber sale process on their behalf, from writing the management plan through marketing the trees and overseeing the logger once a bid is accepted.

Tree planting and direct seedingForest managementTimber stand improvementTimber appraisals, harvesting and timber sales

Geode Forestry, Inc. is a forestry consulting business based in Swedesburg, Iowa. It has been run from that address since January 1, 2000. The business handles tree planting and direct seeding, forest management, timber stand improvement, and timber appraisals, harvesting and timber sales. Its foresters, Bob Petrzelka and Gretchen Cline, both hold a BS in Forest Resource Management from Iowa State University. They say "most of our consulting happens on location, as it's much easier to assess our clients needs and their proposed project scope in person." When it comes to a timber sale, the aim is to get landowners "the best price for your timber through a competitive bidding process" rather than selling straight to a logging company, and a forester can oversee the harvest itself to protect the land. For forest management plans, the work starts with the landowner's own goals, then moves into action items covering soil, timber markets, wildlife, and expected costs, laid out with maps and recommendations the landowner can carry out alone or hand off to others. This fits a landowner in Iowa who wants a forester on the ground before, during, and after a timber sale, rather than someone who just names a price over the phone.

Grau Logs & Lumber Inc. is a sawmill and timber business in Elkader, Iowa, serving Clayton County. They've been at it since 1948. They do a bit of everything with wood. On the forestry side, they put together forest management plans, handle timber sales and marketing, and do timber appraisals. On the mill side, they run a circular sawmill turning out cants, fuelwood, grade lumber, pallet lumber, rough lumber, ties, wood mulch, and custom sawing, with custom milling available too. Their stated mission is "to promote good stewardship and management of timberlands, along with the benefit of periodic income by way of various wood products." They also say they'll "always strive to seek the best markets for the wood products, in order to produce the best economic result for the landowner, without compromising the health and balance of the timber area." This looks like a fit for a Clayton County landowner who wants one outfit that can both manage the timber and mill it, rather than juggling separate contractors for each piece.

Hawkeye Farm Services works out of Eastern Iowa, handling land clearing and site work for residential, commercial, and agricultural property owners. They don't buy or sell timber or offer forester consultations. What they do is the ground work: stump grinding, tree and vegetation removal, forestry mulching, fence line clearing and trimming, storm debris clean-up, and rock mapping and picking using skid steers and excavators. A typical job might mean clearing fence lines with their "26-foot Limb Buster saw," opening up a building site, reclaiming pasture, or grinding storm-damaged stumps and hauling away debris. They describe their approach as building relationships through "honest, face-to-face consultations, fair and transparent pricing, clear communication." The business was established in April of 2021 and is bonded, insured, and veteran owned. The operations manager has over 25 years in the tree care industry. This is a fit for a landowner in Eastern Iowa who needs brush cleared, a fence line reclaimed, stumps ground out, or storm damage hauled away, not someone looking to sell standing timber or get a forestry consultation on species and value.

Heritage Land Solutions is based in Story City, Iowa, and works on land and site jobs across Central Iowa, including Ankeny, Huxley, Webster City, Des Moines, Ames, Story City, Jewell, Boone, and Marshalltown. The work covers site preparation, brush and invasive species management, heavy machinery mowing and clearing, tree planting by hand and machine, planting maintenance, and Forest Stand Improvement. On their own pages they also list excavation, rock mapping and picking, demolition, tree services, hydroseeding, sod installation, and commercial snow removal, so this is a team that handles ground work and property upkeep as well as tree and brush clearing. In their own words, they help property owners "tackle everything from excavation and rock removal to tree work, snow clearing, and exterior cleaning." They describe their gear as "Professional Equipment for Jobs of Any Size." They've been serving Central Iowa since 2016. The county listed for their work is Story, with the wider service area reaching into the Des Moines area and several surrounding towns. This fits a landowner in Story County or nearby who needs brush cleared, ground prepped, or trees planted and tended as part of a bigger property job, not someone looking only for a timber sale or a standalone forestry management plan.

Promise City, IA

Hunters Management Group works out of Promise City, Iowa, doing hands-on land and habitat work rather than timber sales. Their focus is hunter property management and Conservation Reserve Program assistance, helping farmers and recreational landowners get more access and less erosion on their ground. The work itself covers site preparation, brush and invasive species control, heavy machinery and forestry mowing, tree planting by hand and machine, planting maintenance, and forest stand improvement. On the land management side they build trails and bridges, install culverts, stabilize waterways, and handle CRP maintenance, mowing, chemical application, and food plot work. They say they are "fully licensed and insured" and point to "over 50 years of combined sustainable land management experience backed by training and education" among their team. Projects start the same way no matter the service: "we like to kick off our projects with a conversation and a free site visit that helps us get the lay of the land." From there they move into whatever mix of clearing, planting, or maintenance the property needs. This fits a landowner thinking about habitat, access, or CRP ground upkeep rather than someone looking to sell standing timber or get a timber sale managed. From hmgiowa.com, read 10 October 2026.

Kreis Property Solutions is based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and works on landscaping, tree and stump removal, and property clean-up, along with excavator and skid loader work, grading, retaining walls, patios, and demolition.

The work shown is tree and stump removal, site clearing, and general property work rather than logging a woodlot for its wood value. It carries insurance and a license. No acreage or minimum job size is named anywhere in what the business shows. The work pictured is yard and property scale: stump grinding, tree removal, garden remodels, and similar jobs, not forest tracts. This fits a landowner with a few trees to take down or a property to clear and grade, not someone looking to sell merchantable timber off a larger wooded tract.

Larkspur Ecological Restoration is a forestry-consulting business based in Iowa City, Iowa. Their mission, in their own words, is "to restore and reconstruct Iowa's natural areas while prioritizing biodiversity and ecosystem health." This isn't a timber-buying outfit. The work here is stand and land care: Forest Stand Improvement, crop tree release, stand thinning, invasive species removal, prescribed fire, tree planting, understory seeding, brush removal, and mowing. They also do prairie and wetland management and seeding and reconstruction work. If what you need is someone to walk your woods, thin it out, knock back invasives, and get it healthy again, rather than someone to cut and haul your logs, this is that kind of help. They serve private landowners, municipalities, and non-profits across Eastern Iowa. Larkspur describes itself as "fully insured and woman-owned," and offers a free estimate. This fits a landowner in Eastern Iowa who wants their woods, prairie, or wetland restored or maintained, not someone looking to sell standing timber.

Paradigm Land Management, based in Wellman, Iowa, takes on forestry and land conservation work: site preparation, brush and invasive species control, heavy machinery mowing and clearing, hand tree planting and planting maintenance, and forest stand improvement. On its own site it also lists management plans, CRP and prairie installation, hunting property design, and organic orchard care. For stand work they describe handling jobs from weed tree removal through crop tree release. They say "Paradigm's goal is to bring conservation to private lands," and talk about building management plans landowners can carry out themselves or hand over to the crew. The owner, Mike, is a graduate of Iowa State University's School of Forestry and has worked in the field for over 15 years; the company itself was formed in the spring of 2022. Paradigm Land Management is listed for Johnson County, and on its own site offers free estimates within a 50 mile radius of Iowa City. They note they "respect and honor each individual property as if it was our own," and say they want landowners to understand the reasoning behind the work done on their land.

Prudenterra is a forestry consulting business based in Nevada, Iowa. They work on a wide range of forestry projects, as they put it, "from drafting a plan to putting it into action," with the tools to carry projects through from start to finish. Their work covers site preparation, brush and invasive species management, heavy machinery work like mowing and clearing, tree planting by hand and machine, planting maintenance, forest stand improvement, crop tree release thinning, forest management plan writing, timber sales and marketing, and timber appraisal. For timber value, they focus on black walnut, shagbark hickory, and white oak. When they run a timber sale, they mark and document the trees the landowner wants to sell, then "mail a notice to several buyers, inviting them to look at the trees and submit a sealed, lump sum bid," so the owner can pick the top offer. They serve Story County, Iowa, and hold certification as a Technical Service Provider (TSP). There's no stated minimum acreage, but the smallest job described on their own pages was 11 acres, a property near Knoxville where the owners sold off poorly formed black walnut trees to help pay for a ceramics studio while holding back their best trees for a later sale. This fits a landowner in Story County with a modest wooded tract who wants help thinking through a sale rather than just taking the first offer that comes along, especially one weighing both timber income and longer-term woodland health.

Columbus Junction, IA
Forestry mulchingsite preparationbrush management/invasive species managementand heavy machinery/forestry mowing/clearingTree Removal+1 more

River Forks Land Clearing is a family owned business based in rural Louisa County, Iowa, near Columbus Junction. They clear brush and unwanted trees rather than buy or sell timber, so if you're looking for someone to cruise and sell sawtimber, this isn't that. What they do is take overgrown land back to pasture, cropland, or usable ground. The work covers tree removal, pasture clearing, CRP cleanup, invasive species removal, field edge trimming, and ATV trail building. The species they name cutting are multi-flora rose, cedar trees, honeysuckle, mulberries, and thorny locust trees, the kind of brush and junk trees that choke out a fence line or pasture rather than standing timber worth selling. They own and run their own equipment and say they are insured. Their process starts with a sit-down: "We sit down with you, the landowner or manager, to discover your vision and turn it into reality." From there they quote the job and do the clearing, mulching, or trail work themselves. They serve commercial, residential, agricultural, and recreational land throughout Iowa and Northern Missouri, and describe their aim as helping bring back "the beauty and productivity of your land." This fits a landowner sitting on acreage grown up in brush, cedar, or invasive trees who wants it cleared, reclaimed for pasture or CRP, or opened up for trails, not someone looking to sell merchantable timber off the land.

There's no mention of standing timber purchases, species, or a consulting process for a landowner looking to sell logs. What they offer is the physical work of clearing land, pulling trees, and getting ground ready for other uses. Smith Landworx fits a landowner in central or southern Iowa who needs land cleared, brush and invasive species dealt with, or a fence line opened up, not someone looking to sell standing timber or get a forestry management plan.

Pheasants Forever shows up in the directory listing under forestry consultants, but what you find at DubuqueLand Pheasants Forever is a local chapter of a wildlife conservation nonprofit based in Iowa. It is not set up to buy timber, log a woodlot, or advise a landowner on a sale.

Its mission is "the protection and enhancement of pheasants and other wildlife populations in North America through habitat improvements, land management, public awareness and education." There's no description of forestry consulting, timber sales, or logging services, and no street address or phone number tied to timber work.

Hammes Brothers Sawmill Inc. is a sawmill in Ollie, Iowa. It's set up under the "Wood Processors" contact area in the Iowa State Extension directory, with Jeff Sieren as the contact. The mill processes all tree species and produces grade lumber, pallet lumber, and veneer. It does not do custom milling, and it has no kiln drying service or portable mill, so this is a stationary operation that works with logs brought to it rather than coming out to the woods. Keokuk County is the county served. This directory entry doesn't give a minimum acreage or tract size for timber sales. This fits a landowner near Ollie or Keokuk County who already has logs cut, or who wants a mill that handles grade lumber, pallet lumber, and veneer across all species, rather than someone looking for a forester to walk their woods or a logger to come harvest standing timber.

Pierce Lumber, Inc is a band sawmill in Belle Plaine, Iowa, "producer of fine Northern hardwoods and kiln-dried lumber." It's been running since 1977. The mill works with rift and quartered white oak, red oak, walnut, cherry, hard maple, soft maple, ash, hickory, red elm, and grey elm, plus width sorted white oak and walnut, chips, and bark and mulch. Its main products are blocking, cants, grade lumber, pallet lumber, rough lumber, and mulch, and it has offered kiln drying. Procurement reaches out to a 200 mile radius, and it's listed as serving Benton County. There's no minimum tract size given, and the business doesn't spell out a timber sale or harvest process, so a landowner with standing timber to sell would want to call and ask directly how that works with them. This looks like a fit for someone closer to selling logs or sawtimber into a working mill than someone needing a forester to walk their woods and plan a harvest.

When it comes to a timber sale, they run it through a competitive bidding process rather than selling direct to a logging company, saying that route "could result in a lower price for your timber because they may not be incentivized to offer the highest amount." Most of the work with a landowner happens in person on the land itself, since "most of our consulting happens on location, as it's much easier to assess our clients needs and their proposed project scope in person." A forest management plan is built around the landowner's own goals, with action items the owner can tackle alone or hand off to others. Geode Forestry serves Henry County. This fits a landowner in or near Henry County who wants a forester involved from the first walk through the woods to the final bid, rather than handling the sale alone or going straight to a logger.

Questions landowners ask

How many forestry consultants are there in Iowa?

40 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the Iowa forestry register, covering 2 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.
