It also does timber stand improvement, hardwood tree planting, ground herbicide application, boundary line maintenance and painting, GPS and GIS mapping, and forest stewardship and management plans.

This suits a landowner with a smaller tract who wants a forester to look over the land before deciding what to do. From easternforestconsultants.com, read 23 October 2026.

Canopy Forest Management is a forestry and tree care business in Churchville, Virginia, based in Augusta County. It does forest planning for woodland owners and ecological tree care around the home. The planning work comes first. Its forest management plans, also called forest stewardship plans, are built around the property, the owner's goals, and the species on it. A plan can include topographic and lidar maps, species composition, estimated timber volume, soil reports, and a threatened and endangered species report. The business says "Every plan is different and tailored to your needs." A plan is also a step toward qualifying for cost share from the Virginia Department of Forestry. On the ground, the business does timber stand improvement, crop tree release, pre-commercial thinning, ground herbicide application, invasive species control, and wildlife habitat management. It also does GPS and GIS mapping. Harvesting is listed for tracts under 15 acres.

A storm-damaged or dead tree can sometimes be cut into a standing wildlife snag rather than removed. This business suits a landowner who wants a written plan for a woodlot of under 15 acres, or a yard tree kept for wildlife. From canopyforestmanagement.com, read 23 October 2026.

Timber Marketing & Management is a timber consulting firm in Chesterfield, Virginia, with an office on Iron Bridge Road. It works for private landowners who want to sell timber, manage their woods, or sell the land itself. The firm has been at it for over 40 years. The work covers timber sales by bid or open market, timber cruises, forest management, post-harvest services, boundary line maintenance, and land sales. A sale usually starts with a talk about what you want from the property. Next comes field work: inventory, mapping, and appraisal. The firm then markets the timber, takes bids or negotiates, and handles the contracts and payment. It oversees the harvest and, if you want, the replanting. Inventories are careful and often include 100% tallies of sawtimber. From first consultation to reforestation usually takes about two years. Most services are paid by a flat commission, and extra work is charged by the man-day. They serve most of Virginia, from the Eastern Shore to the Blue Ridge Mountains, and further for certain properties. Their rule of thumb is 20 acres or more, since they focus on commercial harvests. They will take on smaller tracts too, depending on several factors. They are clear about one thing: "We do not manage or harvest individual trees/yard trees." They also manage hunting leases on request. This suits a landowner with 20 acres or more who wants a full handoff from cruise to closeout and is comfortable paying on commission.

J.H. Fitzgerald, Jr. Logging, Inc. is a logging company at 266 Big Rock Road in Tyro, Virginia. It has been around since 2003 and was incorporated in 2007. They cut pine and hardwood by thinning or clearcut, and they chip smaller material and grind stump piles. They name Central Virginia as their area and list Nelson County among the places they work. Their harvest options include clearcut, thinning, timber stand improvement, select cut, shelterwood, and seed tree. They also do mapping and acreage, flag property lines and mark buffers, build and maintain roads, install or upgrade entrances, and help with wildlife work and cost-share programs. They have two foresters on staff, and they say they pay the same price whether or not you use a consultant. Selling works one of two ways. In a lump sum sale, they cruise the timber, which means measuring the trees on the ground, and then price it. With pay-as-cut, they give you a price for each product and pay you weekly as loads reach the mill. Each load is tracked on a ticket system so none go unpaid. As they put it, "We only buy timber using written contracts." Contracts usually run 12 to 24 months, and the terms are settled with you before you sign. They say they are fully insured. This suits a landowner with pine or hardwood who wants several harvest methods to choose from, a written contract, and a clear weekly payment record. From valogging.com, read 17 October 2026.

Cedar Point Land Mamagement is a land clearing and site work business in Manakin-Sabot, Virginia. Its main work is clearing land, building and repairing gravel driveways and access roads, forestry mulching, grading and site prep, and septic and drain field work. It describes itself as family owned and locally owned. For woodland, the firm removes trees, stumps, brush, and roots so the ground is ready to build on or farm. Forestry mulching grinds brush and small trees where they stand, and the mulch stays on the ground as cover, so there are no burn piles. The business also lists fireline construction, forest road construction and maintenance, pre-harvest planning with logging engineering and road design, timber stand improvement, and wildlife habitat management. In their own words, "We work with what's there." A job starts with a walk of the property and a written scope and price, with no charge for the estimate. The crew clears the site, then hauls or mulches the debris and leaves it ready to use. Areas served include Albemarle, Amelia, Buckingham, Caroline, Culpeper, Cumberland, Dinwiddie, Fluvanna, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, King William, Louisa, Madison, Mathews, Nelson, New Kent, Orange, Powhatan, Richmond, and Spotsylvania, along with Charlottesville City. It suits landowners who need ground cleared, a lane or driveway built, or a lot graded and cleaned up before building or farming, rather than someone looking to sell standing timber.

Commercial Forest Products is a hardwood lumber business, founded in 2009 and described as family-owned. Its own pages place it in Upland, California, not Fontana, Virginia. They describe a supplier that mills and planes hardwood, sells lumber, and makes custom hardwood flooring, mouldings and components. They do not describe a company that buys standing timber, logs land, or works with landowners. The species on its pages include alder, red gum, cherry, maple, walnut, oak, mahogany, padauk, poplar, sassafras, Spanish cedar, limba and ash, along with several imported woods. It also sells roasted wood, which is hardwood heat-treated in a kiln so it holds steady in damp conditions. The business names guitar and instrument making, flooring and millwork as common uses. It states that it is a member of the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) and that it is willing to tackle tough wood projects. The Virginia details in this listing, the town of Fontana, the timber marking service and the Virginia county list, do not appear on the business's own pages, so they are unconfirmed. Do not rely on them for a timber sale, marking or logging job. Confirm the location and services directly with the business first. This suits a woodworker, builder or instrument maker looking for cut hardwood, not a landowner who wants someone to buy or log standing timber.

Metz Forestry Solutions is a family business in Bealeton, Virginia, run by the Metz family. Its main work is land clearing by forestry mulching, which uses a specialized machine to grind brush, small trees, vines and other growth into mulch. Its other services include invasive species control, vegetation management, wildland fire prevention through firebreaks and fuel reduction, conservation work, field restoration and fireline construction. Jeff Metz is a retired firefighter from the Prince William County Department of Fire and Rescue, and he has worked in forestry for more than thirty years.

The business names PA, VA, MD and WV as its service area. Its Virginia coverage includes Fauquier, Loudoun, Prince William, Culpeper, Stafford and many other counties and cities, from Accomack to Winchester City.
