firewood deliverykiln dried firewood

Hack-Away Forest Products Inc is a logging company in Baraboo, Wisconsin, run by Mike and Tammy, who started the business in 1983. They cut hardwoods and mixed hardwoods, work with a Certified Forester to mark properties, and work on Managed Forest Law projects. They also sell firewood, including kiln dried firewood, delivered by the cord or by the semi load in bulk. When they take on a logging job, they cut to what the prospectus states and don't leave extra work behind. They say "we utilize everything that we cut," and if your land is hard to get into, they'll build the roads needed to get the job done. Everything that isn't sawtimber or firewood goes to local mulching companies, so little is wasted. They serve Sauk County and nearby counties. Their crew is FISTA-certified and they belong to the Great Lakes Timber Professionals Association. They've been at this since 1983, working out of Baraboo, Wisconsin. This fits a landowner in or near Sauk County who wants a logger that will also handle road access on rough ground, and who might want firewood delivered as part of the deal rather than dealing with a separate firewood outfit.

Warrens, DC
Forest management plansTimber sale set-up, bidding and administrationForest inventory and mappingAppraisals – land, timber, damage or trespassTimber stand improvement, marking or labor+1 more

Lambert Forest Products is a timber buyer out of Warrens, Wisconsin. They buy standing timber and also handle forestry consulting and logging work themselves, so one outfit can take you from "what's this worth" through to the cut. They focus on standing pine timber, and say plainly "we pay top dollar for standing pine timber." Beyond buying, their services cover forest management plans, timber sale set-up, bidding and administration, forest inventory and mapping, appraisals for land, timber, damage or trespass, timber stand improvement and marking, road location and design, logging engineering, and recreation planning. When you call, a forester meets with you to go over what you want, and if you've never done a timber sale before, they walk you through each step. They set the sale up to match your goals, check the property while the work is underway for contract compliance or damage, and follow up with you once it's done, including a chance to walk the harvest area yourself. They're based in North Central Monroe County and have worked there since 1994, started by Troy Lambert. They say they buy standing timber and handle timber management throughout Wisconsin. The company holds Master Logger Certification from the state of Wisconsin. Part of their process is on-site grinding and removal of logging slash and residues, so the woodlot isn't left full of tree-tops and limbs after a harvest. This fits a Monroe County landowner with pine on the ground who wants the buyer, the forester, and the logging crew to be the same people, rather than coordinating three separate outfits.

Stitzer, NY
timber purchasingtree loggingtree markinglog cutting & skidding

Kunz Logging is a family-owned timber buying and logging business based in Stitzer, Wisconsin. They buy standing timber directly from farmers and property owners, focusing on walnut and other hardwoods, and handle tree marking, cutting, and skidding themselves. A sale starts with a free assessment. They walk your property, look at the volume and quality of your standing timber, and give you a clear, no-obligation offer. If you accept, their insured team schedules and manages the whole harvest. They note they do not log pine, and they are not set up for single yard trees or residential tree removal. They require a minimum of 15 walnut trees or 30 or more other hardwoods to take on a job. One landowner described a smaller case outside their usual work: Kunz Logging "cut down a 25 foot walnut between two buildings and paid me," which shows they'll sometimes take on a single tree outside a standing sale. They serve clients within a two hour radius of Stitzer, Wisconsin, and specifically do not work in Iowa or Illinois. They say they do not service Grant County directly in these facts, but Grant is listed among counties served. They've operated since 2015 and describe themselves as "fully insured" and family-owned and operated. This fits a landowner with a walnut stand or a solid hardwood lot in southwest Wisconsin who wants one outfit to buy the timber and do the cutting, rather than juggling a separate buyer and logging crew.

Merrill, WI
Free evaluation of standing timberMarking of timber prior to harvestingScheduling of logging crews to harvestLump sum purchasesClear and seed areas for wildlife food plots+1 more

GM Land Management LLC is a timber buyer, logger, and forestry consultant based in Merrill, Wisconsin. They work in Lincoln County and describe their reach as broader: "We manage timber harvests in Wisconsin and upper peninsula of Michigan." They start with a free evaluation of standing timber, then mark the trees to be cut so the landowner can see the plan before any crew arrives. They buy timber in lump sum, which means an agreed price up front rather than a per-load payment later. They handle both selective harvest, where damaged, diseased, mature, and overstocked trees are taken to open the stand for younger growth, and clear cut, used where a forest is mostly mature and out of balance, including cutting for aspen regeneration or to clear and seed land for wildlife food plots. After the harvest they repair roads and seed landings to cut down on erosion. Their stated goal is "Sustainable Timber Management," aimed at letting a landowner harvest the same ground again every 10 to 15 years. There's no stated minimum acreage, but the smallest job they show is an 80 acre select cut in Sawyer County, Wisconsin, so that gives a sense of the scale they're used to working at. This fits a landowner with a sizeable wooded tract in Wisconsin or Michigan's Upper Peninsula who wants one outfit to evaluate the timber, buy it outright, run the harvest, and clean up after, rather than juggling separate buyers, loggers, and foresters.

Menomonie, WI
loggingforestry planningharvest or sell their valuable timber

Foxwalk Sawmill, based in Menomonie, Wisconsin, runs its own sawmill and also logs and buys standing timber for landowners. Zack took over the operation in 2008 and has kept improving the equipment and refining the work since. They serve Dunn county and describe their reach as western Wisconsin and west-central Wisconsin. The woods there run to white pine, hardwoods, northern hardwood, pine, and mixed central hardwood species, and that is what they cut and buy. Their own words sum up the offer plainly: they help landowners "manage, evaluate and harvest or sell their valuable timber," and they can arrange logging, forestry planning, and clearing work on top of the mill itself. Most of their logs come from their own winter cutting, which they say gives "better quality timber" for the lumber and timbers they produce. They will also buy individual yard trees, but only if the tree is of real quality, size, and a preferred species, since moving heavy equipment for one or two low-value trees doesn't pencil out. They don't do lot clearing or general tree service themselves, though they work with other logging and tree service companies in the area they can point you toward. This fits a Dunn county landowner with pine or hardwood timber who wants one outfit that can look at the trees, log them, and mill them, rather than juggling a separate buyer, logger, and sawyer.

Leer Wood Products is a family-owned logging, timber-buying, and sawmill business in Westby, Wisconsin. They buy standing timber and handle the harvest themselves, working under Wisconsin MFL guidelines and Best Forestry Management Practice to "achieve the desired outcome for landowners." They take on timber harvesting, buying standing timber, and post-harvest work, bulldozing, grass seeding, and tree planting, so you're not left with a torn-up lot when the trucks leave. The species they work with include Ash, Aspen, Basswood, Cherry, Eastern White Pine, Hard Maple, Hickory, Poplar, Red Oak, Soft Maple, Walnut, and White Oak. A sale with them runs through a set process: a walk-through of your woods, a timber value estimate, a boundary survey, marking the trees and routes, a written contract, permits and MFL paperwork, the harvest itself, and then the cleanup and regeneration work after. They buy and harvest standing timber throughout Wisconsin and are listed as serving Vernon County. They hold FISTA and SFI certifications and describe themselves as a certified timber buyer and certified timber harvester, and say they are fully insured. Leer Wood Products has been logging Wisconsin land for nearly 50 years as a second-generation, family-owned company. This fits a Wisconsin landowner who wants one outfit to buy the timber, run the harvest, and leave the ground in shape afterward, rather than juggling separate contractors for each step.

Timber HarvestingForest Management PlansMFL plan writingTrucking Services

Cleereman Forest Products is a logging company based in Laona, Wisconsin. They buy standing timber and timberland, write MFL plans, and run their own trucking so they don't need to bring in another company for hauling. The work covers timber harvesting, forest management plans, MFL plan writing, and trucking services. They are family owned, and the Cleereman family has been logging in Northern Wisconsin since 1913, starting with a sawmill and 1600 acres bought from the Chicago North Western. They describe their approach as caring for "every aspect of your project from start to finish," from the first conversation about your land through the harvest plan and the MFL paperwork. No tract size is given as a minimum, so there's nothing to go on for how small a job they'll take. They don't name species or list specific towns and counties they cover beyond Northern Wisconsin in general, though Forest County is named as served. This fits a landowner in Northern Wisconsin who wants one outfit to handle the timber sale, the paperwork, and the trucking together, especially someone drawn to a business with a long family history in the area.

Hanacek Tree Service & Logging and Live Edge Slabs works out of Spooner, Wisconsin, and covers Washburn County, naming Spooner, Stone Lake, Webster, Springbrook, Trego, Minong, Shell Lake, Siren, and Webb Lake as areas it serves. This is a logging and tree service outfit that also runs a sawmill. They handle tree removal and lot clearing, and because they run logging equipment themselves, they say "we can clear multiple trees more cost effectively." They take on jobs of any size, from "one tree you need trimmed" up to a full lot. On the milling side, they cut custom sawing, live edge boards, and slabs, working with black ash, white ash, red oak, white oak, white pine, red pine, birch, walnut, and maple. Beams can run up to 32 feet, and they'll cut custom dimensions or rough sawn lumber to size. Cullan is the contact, and the business says it's been in the trade for over 25 years. It's fully insured and SFI Certified, and it offers free estimates. This fits a landowner near Spooner who has trees to clear, whether it's a single tree, a backyard's worth, or a lot that needs opening up, and who might also want the wood sawn into boards or slabs rather than hauled off.

Kopitzke Forest Products, Excavating & Trucking LLC is a logging contractor based in Tigerton, Wisconsin. They've been doing timber harvesting and forest work as a family operation for over 40 years, and they also handle land clearing and excavation work. Their main trade is cutting and hauling timber, and the work runs the full chain: timber appraisal, harvest planning, cutting, skidding, processing, and transportation. They use Ponsse harvesting equipment and say they "competitively market your timber to multiple local lumber companies" to help landowners get value from the sale. They hold FISTA, Silviculture, and Wisconsin BMP certifications. Beyond logging, they also do land clearing, excavation and grading, stump and rock removal, food plot installation, trail construction, custom spraying, and wildlife habitat work. For food plot and clearing jobs they say "we can pick rocks and roots out of your food plot," using excavators, dozers, and skid steers once any harvestable timber is taken off first, which they say can help offset clearing costs. They work with landowners in Northeast Wisconsin, including Shawano County and the surrounding area. This fits a landowner in Shawano County or nearby who wants one outfit to cut and sell the timber and then also clear the ground, build trails, or put in a food plot once the logging is done, rather than hiring separate contractors for each job.

Koxlien Brothers Wood Products is a sawmill in Strum, Wisconsin. They buy standing hardwood timber and logs, and they're a "3rd generation family owned sawmill" that's been at it since 1983. Their main trade is timber buying, but they also log, run the mill, and do forestry consulting. They work with hardwood timber and oak timber, and they say they "specialize in hunting properties" and oak timber regeneration, along with general forest management. Their stated focus is "improving the overall health of the woods," which shows in the kind of work they take on: timber value estimates, MFL compliance, trail construction and repair, job site clean up, property line surveying, harvest planning, timber value assessment and marking, trucking, and dozing work for trails or food plots. They also note "experienced logging crews" for the harvest itself. Buffalo County is where they're found in the register, and they list Trempealeau County as an area they serve, with Wisconsin and Strum named more broadly on their own pages. This looks like a fit for a landowner who wants more than a one-time timber sale. If you're thinking about hunting land, oak regeneration, or longer-term forest management alongside the harvest, this is a business built around that kind of work rather than just buying logs and moving on.

Clear-cuttingSelective Logging

Timber Ridge Harvesting LLC is a logging contractor and buyer of standing timber working out of Marathon City, Wisconsin. They've been "providing quality logging services for over 10 years," taking on both clear-cutting and selective logging, so whether you want a tract cleared or just certain trees pulled, that's work they handle. They buy standing timber outright, and they work with landowners going through the Wisconsin Managed Forest Law program as well as those logging for business or personal reasons. Their service area is Marathon, Wisconsin and the surrounding areas. They describe their approach as "Sustainable Timber Harvesting practices," aimed at keeping the forest healthy while still getting the landowner a return. No tree species are named on their pages, so if you have particular species you're hoping to sell, that's worth asking about directly. The same goes for tract size. There's nothing posted about a minimum, so a small parcel owner would need to call and ask rather than guess from what's online. This fits a landowner in or near Marathon County who wants one outfit that can both log the property and buy the standing timber, rather than hiring a logger and a buyer separately, and who likes that the business frames its work around sustainable practices and MFL compliance rather than just a one-time cut.

Dorchester, WI

NWH buys logs and standing timber in Clark County, Wisconsin, including around Dorchester. They're a timber buyer and also work with logging partners to get the wood cut and hauled. They've been in business since 1967. The species they buy here include ash, basswood, cherry, hard maple, hickory, poplar, red oak, soft maple, walnut, white oak, and yellow birch. A sale with NWH runs in four steps: they consult with you and evaluate your timber, give you a detailed estimate, put together an agreement with payment terms once you're ready, and then harvest. They say they'll handle the harvest "with respect for your land" and in line with your state's Best Management Practices for timber harvesting. You'll need at least 10 acres to harvest. NWH states this plainly: "We work closely with landowners who have a minimum of 10 acres to harvest to evaluate your timber and understand your land's unique needs." So smaller parcels likely won't get a look. This fits a landowner in Clark County with a real stand of mixed hardwoods, at least 10 acres, who wants a buyer that also lines up the logging crew rather than just making an offer and walking away.

They take on timber harvesting jobs of different kinds: selective logging, clear cutting, timber stand improvement, and log hauling, along with site cleanup once the harvest is done. On the forestry side they do forest thinning, brush clearing, fire risk reduction work, wildlife habitat management, and forest assessment with consultation. Their own description of the work is: "Whether you're looking to monetize your timber, clear land for development, or manage your forest health, our experienced team has the expertise and equipment to handle your project professionally." A project typically starts with a free on-site consultation, and they describe their agreements as transparent, with full insurance coverage on every job. They list "Fair Timber Value" among what they aim for, and say they treat land with stewardship in mind. This fits a landowner in or near those named counties who wants more than just a harvest done, someone who might also want a forest thinned, brush cleared, or a management plan looked at, and who wants a free on-site look before deciding anything.

Walnut Timber Buyers is a logging contractor and timber buyer based at 8727 Arenzville Rd. in Beardstown, Illinois. They buy standing timber and handle cut logs for farms and hunting land, working mostly with landowners, loggers, and importers. They take on projects where a property has 20 or more mature trees; that's the line they use instead of an acreage figure. The species they buy are walnut, white oak, red oak, hickory, ash, maple and black oak. Their process starts with marking property lines and picking out the trees worth the most, then felling, grading roads to gather the wood, cleaning up after themselves, and finally lining up a buyer and paying you before the logs leave your land. As they put it, "We begin by determining the trees on your land that are worth the most." They also offer a "free appraisal" before anything is cut. They work within about 300 miles of Beardstown, which reaches a large part of Illinois along with Central and Eastern Missouri. They describe themselves as licensed timber buyers and fully insured, and say they've been doing this work for 30 years. This fits a landowner in Illinois or Missouri sitting on a stand of marketable hardwoods, with at least 20 mature trees, who wants one outfit to handle the appraisal, the cutting, and the sale together rather than juggling separate companies.

They handle tree cutting, logging, forestry mulching, firewood delivery, stump grinding, and both on-site and off-site milling, so they cover more than just taking timber off your land. They say they service all of Wisconsin, not just Door County. If you want an idea of cost before committing to anything, they offer a "free estimate on services" and ask that you call or message to set up an appointment. There's no minimum tract size stated, so it's hard to say how small a job they'll take, but with milling and stump grinding and mulching on their list alongside logging, they seem set up to handle smaller properties as well as bigger timber sales. This one suits a landowner in Wisconsin who wants one call to cover the tree work and the timber both, from cutting it down to milling it into something usable.

They call themselves "Hardwood Specialists" and point to "100+ Years of forest stewardship experience," with the company itself manufacturing lumber since 1929. You can reach them at 800-352-1438. This fits a landowner in Langlade County or nearby who wants one outfit to handle the timber sale, the logging, and the forestry advice together, rather than hiring three separate people.

Strong Logging is a logging company based in Lily, Wisconsin, in Langlade County. It's a family run business that says it has been serving Central and Northern Wisconsin for over 20 years, working in both logging and timber buying. The work covers timber harvesting, custom harvest plans, full timber sale management, mechanical logging, roads and trails, food plot clearing, and log and timber hauling. They say their loggers "work with clients to achieve their long term timber management goals & ensure top dollar for their standing timber harvests & logs." The company states it is fully licensed and insured, with staff trained through the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. They say they take on parcels starting at 20 acres, up through tracts over 500 acres. Their service area runs through Antigo, Lily, Rhinelander, Crandon, and Merrill, plus Langlade, Forest, Lincoln, and Marathon counties, and the rest of Central and Northern Wisconsin. Their mechanical logging approach aims for "the least amount of ground disturbance possible" on the ground they work. This fits a landowner with a mid to large wooded parcel in Central or Northern Wisconsin who wants one outfit to handle the whole job, from planning the harvest through to hauling the logs.

Birnamwood, WI
planingrippinglogging

Kersten Lumber Co is a sawmill in Birnamwood, Wisconsin, right on US-45. They also do their own logging and run their own trucking, so a log doesn't have to wait on an outside hauler to get from your woods to their yard. They make colored mulch for landscaping from their mill byproducts too. The mill traces back to 1938, when Roy Kersten set up a saw mill in Wittenberg. His sons Dick and Phil "Butch" bought it in 1965, and after a fire in 1977 the operation moved to Birnamwood with new equipment. Butch later added dry kilns and the planing and ripping work. On the production side, they say "virtually every speck of every log is utilized," with bark, chips and sawdust going to beauty bark, fuel, and paper fiber, so little goes to waste once your logs arrive. They list Shawano County among the areas they serve, and their forest policy page talks about working around habitat and endangered species concerns when a timber sale is designed. For a landowner with standing timber, the practical draw here is having logging, hauling, and milling under one roof, plus an office with regular weekday hours and a named forester on staff. This one suits a landowner who wants a mill with deep roots in the area and its own logging crew, rather than someone looking to compare several independent buyers for one job.

Wild Rivers Forestry Inc is a logging and forestry consulting business based in Wausaukee, Wisconsin. They buy timber, log it, and also write Managed Forest Law plans, so they can handle a sale from the first conversation through the cleanup after. Their crews cut pulpwood, bolts, and sawlogs, and the foresters on staff include two certified MFL plan writers. The work goes beyond the harvest itself: they also do firewood sales and delivery, stump grinding, mulching and timber stand improvement, food plot and wildlife opening work, road planning and construction, building site prep and lot clearing, and storm damage cleanup. They describe their logging crews as "SFI Trained, fully-insured professional logging crews," and they offer "Free forest management consultations form professional foresters" before any sale is set up. They say they handle "start-to-finish woodland management services," meaning the same company sets up the sale, administers it, and sees it through. They serve Marinette County in Wisconsin, and their own service area description names Wisconsin and the Michigan UP more broadly. They say they have served the industry for decades. This fits a landowner in Marinette County or nearby who wants one outfit to walk them through the whole process, from a free first look at the woods to the harvest plan, the sale itself, and follow-up work like TSI or a food plot afterward, rather than hiring separate people for consulting, logging, and cleanup.

Chris Klessig Logging LLC runs Cloverland Logging & Trucking out of Eagle River, Wisconsin, working across Northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, including Vilas County. The crew handles both selective cutting and clear-cutting, along with lot clearing, forestry mulching, and road and excavating work for private access roads and driveways. They also run their own trucking, hauling timber from the woods to sawmills around Wisconsin and Michigan with their own fleet and drivers. On the logging side, they describe using "sustainable practices to maintain forest health and long-term productivity," and say each job is assessed before work starts to protect the land around it. The company calls itself "Locally Owned & Operated" and points to "50+ Years of Experience" in the Northwoods. No species are named and no minimum tract size is given, so it's worth asking directly whether a smaller parcel is worth their time. This fits a landowner near Eagle River or elsewhere in Northern Wisconsin or the Upper Peninsula who wants one outfit to cut the timber, clear a lot or build a road, and truck the logs out, rather than hiring separate contractors for each piece.

Find independent loggers near your land

That's the first 100 of 102 in Wisconsin. The best match is usually the one closest to your land, so pick the county your timber is in. You'll see everyone who works there.

Questions landowners ask

How many independent loggers are there in Wisconsin?

102 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the Wisconsin forestry register, covering 44 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.
