About Hawkeye Farm Services
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.

Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise & Volume EstimateA field measurement of your standing trees — their species, sizes, and quality — that adds up to how much wood you actually have. Before you sell, so you go in knowing roughly what is out there rather than taking a buyer's word for it.What does this mean? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? → — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
