About JL Gardner Hardwoods
JL Gardner Hardwoods is a timber buying business in Axton, Virginia, with a log yard there on Daniel Road and another in Glade Hill. James Leeland Gardner Jr. owns it. The business buys standing timber, which it calls stumpage, from private and public landowners. It also does log procurement and timber management, and it gets its logs from independent loggers across the region. The woods it names are red oak, white oak, walnut, hickory, ash and poplar. Stumpage buying covers Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina, and Henry County is named as its service area. The Gardner family has been in the lumber industry for the last 20 years, and the buyers have more than 30 years combined in the forest industry. Logs can be inspected at the yard or shipped to U.S. customers and abroad. The business describes its logs as "handpicked and quality inspected." The forester, Neil Brooks, holds a Bachelor of Science in Forest Resource Management from Virginia Tech. He spent nearly eight years with the Virginia Department of Forestry in Franklin, Henry and Patrick Counties, working with landowners and loggers. If you want to harvest your timber or improve your forest management, the business asks you to call (540) 420-2133. This suits a landowner with hardwood stands who wants a buyer with a trained forester on staff. From jlgardner.org, read 17 October 2026.
