tree removallot clearingland clearingtimber harvesting

Varney Sons Logging works out of Effingham, New Hampshire, doing tree removal, lot clearing, land clearing, and timber harvesting. They have been in the tree removal business for "over 30 years." Here is how they work: you call or email, and they come out to your property to look at your trees and talk through what they can do. If you have enough trees, they set up a date to cut and remove them. They prefer pine but will take on "all types of trees." One thing worth knowing: they do not clean up branches themselves, though they can point you to someone who will. There is no set minimum acreage. Instead, they offer free tree removal once you have 20 or more trees to take down, and you can even combine trees with a neighbor to reach that number. Smaller jobs get a free estimate. They describe handling tricky spots too, tree removal "in tight places around houses, sheds, swingsets, pools, and more." They say they are a "fully insured, state certified New Hampshire company" and operate year round across the state of New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts, with Carroll County among the areas they serve. This fits a landowner with a smaller lot or a scattering of trees rather than a large standing timber tract, someone more interested in clearing land than negotiating a stumpage sale on a big parcel.

management services from a licensed foresterpurchase standing timberexcavation and road constructionre-claiming land for farm or other usesnow-shoe and cross-country ski trails

Timberwolf Logging is a full-service logging and wood products company based in Littleton, New Hampshire. They buy standing timber, log it, and can bring in a licensed forester to manage the job, or work alongside a forester you already have. They are family-owned and have been doing this work since 1986. Beyond cutting, they do their own excavation and road building, which means they can clear land, put in access roads, or reclaim ground for farm use. They also build snow-shoe and cross-country ski trails. Their listed area of work covers Grafton County, with jobs reaching across New England and the northeast more broadly, and they are headquartered in the White Mountains. There's no stated minimum acreage, but their own description of past work runs from "clearing for house lots" up to thousand-acre forest management projects, so a small house lot appears to be within the range of jobs they'll take. They say that "no matter the size of the job," they use all the material to benefit the landowner, and that a New Hampshire licensed forester is available if you want one involved. This fits a landowner anywhere from a small house lot to a large, long-term forest tract who wants one outfit that can handle the cutting, the land work, and the forester coordination together.

New Ipswich, NH
Selective Timber HarvestingLand-clearing and ChippingTree RemovalExcavation ServicesFirewood

Foster Logging & Excavation is a family run logging and land-clearing business in New Ipswich, New Hampshire. They have been at this for more than 40 years, working out of a spot on a foothill to Kidder Mountain. Their main work is selective timber harvesting, and they also take on land-clearing and chipping, tree removal, excavation, and firewood. That range covers a timber sale for income, clearing for a building site, pasture, or a view, or just taking down damaged trees in a yard. They serve New Hampshire and Massachusetts, with Hillsborough County among the counties they work in. If you are thinking about selling timber, they offer "free estimates on the value of your timber" before anything moves forward, and they say they "handle all of the permitting and paperwork" that goes with a harvest. They describe their approach to timber work as "sustainable, thoughtful timber harvests," which matters if you want the woods to still look like woods when they are done. This fits a landowner in New Hampshire or Massachusetts who wants one outfit to handle a timber harvest start to finish, including the paperwork, and who might also need clearing, tree removal, or firewood done at the same time rather than hiring separate crews for each job.

Professional Timber HarvestingLump Sum Timber PurchasesLand and Lot ClearingForested Land Use PlanningView Enhancement

BW Timber Harvesting is a logging and timber buying business run by Ben White out of North Haverhill, New Hampshire. Ben and his crew take on timber harvesting jobs for residential, commercial, and municipal landowners, and they also buy standing timber, clear land and lots, and help with forested land use planning and view enhancement. They work across New Hampshire and Vermont, naming Grafton, Sullivan, Merrimack, and Windsor counties as areas they cover, and they've been doing this over 20 years. When you reach out, they offer a free, no-obligation look at your property before anything is decided. From there they build a plan around what you want from your land and what you can spend, whether that's a one-time harvest or something longer term. Ben talks directly with the landowner from the first call through the end of the job, rather than routing you through office staff. They describe their work as "selective and intentional cutting" rather than quick extraction, and they say "we protect your land like it's our own." They carry insurance. No species or tract size comes up in what they've put out there, so if you've got a small or unusual woodlot, a call to Ben is the way to find out if it's worth his time. This fits a landowner in New Hampshire or Vermont who wants one person to deal with start to finish, and who'd rather get a free walk of the land before committing to anything.

Stillwater Forestry LLC is a forest management company based in Claremont, New Hampshire. They work across New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine, handling timber harvesting, forest management plans, boundary line maintenance, annual forest security inspections, wildlife habitat improvement, land acquisition, pasture clearing, and timber appraisals. They also buy standing timber outright. They work with White Pine, red oak, hardwood, spruce, and pulpwood. Here's how a sale typically runs: they meet with you, look at your access and goals, and decide if a harvest makes sense. You sign a "Contract For Services" agreement, and no money changes hands up front. They lay out the harvest, mark the timber, handle permits, and give you an estimate before cutting starts. Then they bring in a logging company to do the actual work and administer the harvest start to finish. They describe themselves as "fully licensed Vermont, Maine & New Hampshire Forest Management Services company," distinct from being a logging outfit themselves. They say they've been at this more than 25 years. For this listing, Stillwater Forestry LLC is shown serving Sullivan County. They state a minimum of 10 acres for parcels they'll consider buying, though they say they'll also look at much larger tracts. This fits a landowner who wants one company to coordinate the whole process, from marking trees to finding a logger to closing out the sale, rather than juggling a forester, a buyer, and a logging crew separately.

log-to-lumber serviceselective harvesting

Wilkins Lumber Co Inc is a sawmill in Milford, New Hampshire, on Route 13 North. They take logs and turn them into lumber, starting with selective harvesting for local timberland owners, mostly in hemlock and pine. They've been doing this in the Souhegan Valley since 1808, run now by the same family that has kept the mill going through a depression, a fire, and a lightning strike. They serve Hillsborough County and describe their reach as Southern New Hampshire. The work starts in the woods: they'll selectively harvest your timber, then mill it themselves rather than just buying logs and shipping them off. That means the same outfit handling your trees is also the one turning them into boards. There's no minimum tract size given on their pages, so it's worth calling to ask whether your acreage fits what they take on. They describe themselves plainly: "We offer log-to-lumber service, beginning with selective harvesting for local timberland owners." This is a small, long-running family mill, not a big logging outfit, so it may suit a landowner in the Souhegan Valley area who wants hemlock or pine cut and milled by people who've been doing it in the same spot for generations.

Timberdoodle Farm & Sawmill is a sawmill and logging business based in Strafford, New Hampshire. They cut timber, clear land, saw custom lumber, kiln-dry it, and offer ecological forestry consulting, so a landowner can go from standing trees to finished boards with one outfit. They work with softwood and hardwood, and do a fair amount of pine tree removal where pines are shading out solar panels or garden space. Jobs include timber harvesting and logging, land-clearing, custom sawmilling, kiln drying, surfacing and custom profiles, and ecological forestry consulting. On a harvest, they handle the paperwork with you, usually an Intent to Cut filed with the town, and bring in a licensed forester when needed. They describe their approach as "ecologically responsible timber harvests" and say their work can "look pretty big" while they try to keep it "woods-sensitive." They cover a stretch of New Hampshire and Maine towns including Strafford, Dover, Durham, Barrington, Farmington, Northwood, Concord, Lee, Madbury, Gilmanton, Eliot, ME and Berwick, ME, and say they're willing to travel outside that area if asked. They've worked on both small lots and full farms. Miles and Katrina Amaral started the business in 2010 on a homemade chainsaw mill out of a driveway in Madbury. Both are certified lumber graders under New Hampshire's Native Lumber Law, and they belong to the NH Timberland Owners Association, the Northeast Loggers Association, and the Forest Stewards Guild. The smallest acreage they mention taking on is 0.5 acres, as part of jobs ranging from small lots up to 300-acre farms. This fits a landowner who wants one business to both log the trees and turn them into usable lumber, rather than separate contractors for each step.

Royle Timber Harvesting is a logging company based in Wakefield, NH, with an office address in Sanbornville. They do the work themselves and also buy timber, so you're dealing with one outfit for both ends of the job. The work they take on includes selective cutting, harvesting, firewood, forestry related excavating, and trucking. They describe themselves as "specializing in selective cutting," which matters if you want a lighter touch on your woods rather than a clear-cut. They say they are a "fully insured and licensed logging company," and they offer free estimates, so you can get a sense of the job before committing to anything. They're listed as serving Strafford County. No species or minimum tract size is spelled out, so if you have a small or unusual lot, it's worth calling and asking directly, at 603-522-6022, rather than guessing from what's posted. This fits a landowner in or near Strafford County who wants selective cutting handled by the same people doing the buying, and who'd rather make one phone call than hire a logger and a buyer separately.

Garland Lumber Co. Inc. is a logging and forestry business based in Center Conway, New Hampshire, with offices in North Conway. The family has been at this since 1962, and the company itself was set up in 1975 as a full-time operation. It's still run by the Garland family today. They handle timber harvesting, forest management plans, timber appraisals and inventories, tree farm inspections, land clearing, and help with woodland protection. They have a licensed professional forester on staff, Karla Allen, who is also an American Tree Farm Inspector and a Technical Service Provider. She works alongside seven logging crews, so they can "mix and match" equipment and people to fit your land and what you're trying to do with it. They say they manage about 2,000 acres for sustainable forestry on an ongoing basis. Their own words: "We look at each client and their property individually and try to match their personal objectives to their land." Whether you want income now, a long-term plan, wildlife habitat, or just to keep the woods healthy, that seems to be how they start the conversation. They work in Carroll County and describe their service area as covering New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, and Vermont. They also run their own trucking side, Garland Transportation, so wood moves off your land without you having to arrange a separate hauler. This fits a landowner who wants a forester involved in the harvest decision itself, not just a logger showing up with a crew, and who doesn't mind a company with some scale and history behind it.

Granite State Forestry Service, Inc. is a forestry consulting and logging firm based in New London, New Hampshire. They work in forest management, selective timber harvesting, logging, and timber sales, and they also serve Merrimack County. A sale or job with them starts with a free woodland evaluation, a walk through your property to look at your trees and talk over your goals. From there they put together a timber harvesting plan that covers the best time of year to cut, which harvesting techniques fit the land, which logging contractor suits the site, and where to put the log landing and trails. They handle the timber sale administration too, including marketing the forest products, locating and marking boundary lines, state and local permits and wetland notifications, and timber marking. During the harvest they supervise the work for compliance with state and local rules, including wetland regulations, and they are insured and say they only use insured logging contractors. Other services include current use taxation planning, timber inventories and appraisals, and forest management planning. They note that "most landowners will only harvest timber one or two times during the course of their life," which is the reasoning they give for leaning on a licensed forester to run the sale. They are a fully licensed forester in the state of New Hampshire and say they have been "practicing sustainable forestry in New England for over 30 years," with roots going back to 1983. This fits a landowner in New Hampshire, especially Merrimack County, who wants one firm to plan the harvest, line up the logging crew, and stand watch over the whole sale from boundary lines to the last load leaving the property.

Questions landowners ask

How many independent loggers are there in New Hampshire?

46 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the New Hampshire forestry register, covering 10 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.
