Freelance Forestry, LLC is a forestry consulting firm in Stanardsville, Virginia. It helps Central Virginia landowners get more value from their timber through timber sales and forest management. Mark Strickland leads the firm and holds the credentials Certified Professional Forester and Certified Forester. The firm says it brings over 40 years of hands-on experience across private consulting, forest industry, government agencies, and logging operations. It works with timber tracts of 40 acres or more, and it does not do residential tree removal or small lot clearing. The work covers timberland evaluations, forest management plans, timber cruising, timber sales, thinning, selective harvests, clear cutting and final harvest, and reforestation. The firm works with pine and hardwood stands. A timber sale goes in steps. The firm appraises the timber, markets it to buyers, and can run sealed bid sales so buyers compete against each other. It then oversees the harvest to protect the land. The process begins with an introductory timberland evaluation, an informal meeting followed by a walk through the woods. If the landowner goes ahead, both sides sign a Consulting Forester Agreement and the firm manages the project to completion. The service area is a 100-mile radius from Charlottesville, and Greene is among the counties it serves. This firm suits a landowner with 40 acres or more of pine or hardwood who wants the timber valued, sold, and watched over during the harvest, with the aim of keeping the land "like the financial asset it is."

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.

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.

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.

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. From commercialforestproducts.com, read 4 October 2026.

Its stated service area covers many Virginia counties and cities, including Accomack, Chesterfield, Henrico, Hanover, Mecklenburg, and York, and it also names Maryland, Washington D.C., and North Carolina. The arborists list Certified Arborist MA-6552A, RCA #900, and TRAQ credentials. At the time of writing, the firm is not taking new consulting clients, and it points people to the American Society of Consulting Arborists directory to find a consulting arborist in their area. This suits a landowner who needs advice on tree health, tree risk, or appraisals, not someone looking for a timber buyer or a logger. From eastcoastacs.com, read 23 October 2026.

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. Vinny Metz operates the heavy equipment, and Danielle Gambale-Metz handles logistics and the office. The conservation method, the business says, works by "keeping the soil disturbance relatively low." The first step is a one-hour meeting on your land to talk over the project. 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. This suits owners whose main need is clearing overgrowth, invasive plants or firebreaks by mulching the growth into the ground. From metzforestrysolutions.pro, read 23 October 2026.

Shenandoah Habitat Services, LLC is a tree planting and habitat business in Fishersville, Virginia. It started in October 2019. The company describes itself as a one-stop shop for large-scale reforestation projects and natural resource management, and it also sells tree protection supplies. Most of the work is planting. Crews hand plant hardwood and pine, using bareroot seedlings, tubelings or container plants. The company also does native meadow establishment, live stake installation, mechanical site preparation, ground herbicide application, invasive species management, and wildlife habitat management. It sells traditional and degradable tree and shrub shelters, stakes and mats. Help runs from the first plan through installation and on-going maintenance. That includes project management, mowing, spot and strip spraying, stake maintenance, and removing bird netting and tree shelters. The company uses a seed drill built to be portable and maneuverable, and it says "we excel in small to mid-sizes projects." Counties it works in include Augusta, Albemarle, Rockingham and Fairfax. Stated credentials include a degree in Environmental Science and Biology from Ferrum College for David Coleman, and a forest ranger program for Jeff Brower, who later worked 15 years with the state Department of Forestry. Crews have planted thousands of acres of hardwood and conifer trees over the past thirty years, they say. This business suits a landowner who wants land replanted or turned into meadow, and who wants the same team to see the work through its maintenance years.

It says it has been an active member of the U.S. Green Building Council since 2000, and that nearly 30 of its staff hold LEED accreditation.

Questions landowners ask
How many timber buyers and foresters serve Fluvanna County?
42 businesses are listed for Fluvanna County: 24 consulting foresters and 18 buyers, loggers and mills. 6 of them have offices in the county.
How much is my timber worth in Fluvanna County?
Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. Virginia Tech's Forest Landowner Education Program publishes quarterly Virginia timber stumpage prices, which tells you what the market is doing, not what your tract holds. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Fluvanna County?
You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.
Do I need a forestry consultant? →Do I need a permit to cut timber in Virginia?
Unlike some neighbouring states, Virginia does require you to notify the Department of Forestry before you start a commercial timber harvest — or within three working days after you begin — even on your own land. There is no approval to wait for, but failing to notify can bring a civil penalty. Water quality rules also apply, and following Best Management Practices is effectively required to stay protected under them.
Permit rules in Virginia →What is timber worth in Fluvanna County?
No price series is published for Fluvanna County on its own. Virginia's latest published stumpage figures (Virginia Tech's Forest Landowner Education Program, Q2 2026) put hardwood sawtimber at $224 per thousand board feet. What your own timber brings depends on the species, the size and amount of it, and how far it is from a mill. A timber cruise by a forester settles it.
Forester listings for Fluvanna County come from the Virginia Department of Forestry private forestry service provider directory, revised 16-Sep-26. The register is updated quarterly.
