Logging companies
Contractors and crews that harvest timber, build and maintain woods roads, and manage a cutting operation.
Find logging companies near you
LoggingCompanies is an independent directory of logging companies, sawmills, timber buyers and forestry services in the United States. Landowners use it to find the right category and the right state, check who is nearby, and then decide which company to call.
It is early days. We publish a business only after its own name, address, phone and website have been checked, and that work is in progress, so no companies are listed yet. Everything you need to use the directory is below, along with how to vet a company before you hire and how to add your own business to the list.
What are you looking for?
Sawmills
Mills that buy logs and process them into lumber. Often the closest large buyer for a landowner with standing timber.
Timber buyers
Businesses that buy standing timber or delivered logs, including loggers and mills that run a timber-buying side.
Forestry services
Foresters and land-management providers who plan a harvest, mark a timber stand, or write a management plan.
Find a logging company by state
These are the states the directory covers first, chosen from the states with the strongest demand for logging companies. Each state page starts as an honest empty state and will fill as businesses are verified. More states are being added.
- Logging companies in Oregon
- Logging companies in Washington
- Logging companies in Maine
- Logging companies in Alabama

Selling timber, not hiring a crew? We keep that job separate on purpose. For what your timber is worth, how a sale works, and how to get bids, go to our sister site logmytrees.com, which handles what your timber is worth, how a sale works, and how to get bids from buyers. Visit logmytrees.com.
Vet a company before you hire it
Finding a name is the easy part. The important step is checking that the company is set up to do the work and that the job is written down clearly. Our landowner guide covers the questions to ask, what paperwork to request, and what to put in writing before anyone starts cutting.
How to choose a logging company
If you are new to a harvest, the companion guide explains the common approaches — clearcut, select cut, shelterwood and thinning — and how they differ. It stays clear of prices and valuation; those belong to logmytrees.com.
Add a business to the directory
If you own or work for a logging company, sawmill, timber-buying operation or forestry service, you can ask to be listed. Listing is free while the directory is being built, and we ask only for the business facts a landowner needs to make contact.
Logging companies: common questions
Where can I find logging companies near me?
Start with your state. This directory is organized by category and by state, so logging companies in Oregon, Washington, Maine, Alabama and Michigan each have their own page. We are adding the remaining states as we verify businesses. If your state is not listed yet, you can submit a company you know.
How do I check whether a logging company is reputable?
Ask for the company’s licence and insurance details, ask for references from landowners whose land is similar to yours, and get the scope of work, the payment terms and who is responsible for roads, water and cleanup in writing. Our guide to choosing a logging company walks through what to ask before you sign.
How much is my timber worth, and who buys it?
We do not appraise timber and we do not make bids. That is the job of our sister site logmytrees.com, which handles what your timber is worth and how to get bids. This site’s job is to help you find and assess the companies themselves.
How do I get my logging business listed?
Use the submit-your-business page. Listing is free while the directory is being built, and we ask only for business facts: the company name, address, phone number, website and the category and states it serves. There is no cost and no tracking.
Do you publish Google ratings or reviews?
No. We never republish Google ratings, star values or review text. The only ratings that will appear here are reviews written on this site by the people who used a company, once that feature is live.
General information only, not legal, forestry, tax or financial advice. Verify a company’s licences, insurance and references before you hire it.
