About Dean Due Logging

Dean Due Logging, Inc. is a family-owned logging company in Groveton, Texas, in Trinity County. It has run timber harvests across the Pineywoods of East Texas since the spring of 1986. The work includes clear-cuts, first and second thinnings, hardwood select cuts, storm and salvage jobs, and pre-harvest layout and marking. The company works in loblolly, mixed pine-hardwood and bottomland hardwood. The company works in eleven counties: Trinity, Polk, Tyler, Houston, Walker, San Jacinto, Angelina, Nacogdoches, Cherokee, Anderson and Madison. Its minimum tract is 38 acres. It states that it is a Texas Pro Logger certified company, a Texas Forestry Association member, and that it puts a Master Logger on every job. All equipment is owned, not leased, and run by full-time employees, not subcontractors. Owners who want to keep title can have the timber cut on contract by the ton or by the acre. Stumpage offers and per-ton pricing are quoted after a site walk. Pay schedules are weekly, and landowners receive copies of the certified mill scale tickets the same week the company is paid. The company puts its approach this way: "we'd rather lose a load than lose a landowner's trust." It says it will turn down work that would break streamside buffers or leave ruts across saturated ground. Inquiries get a reply within one business day, and email is the fastest way to reach them. This suits a landowner with pine or mixed timber in one of those eleven counties who wants a crew that protects streamside buffers and who may prefer to keep title and sell by the ton.
