Our Process

On-Site Survey of the Land

At United Hardwoods, we understand the critical importance of accurate property surveying. Whether you're a small-scale or large-scale landowner, understanding the composition and volume of timber resources on your property is essential for proper value assement.

When we embark on a land survey for a potential purchase, we bring a blend of expertise and enthusiasm to the process. There's no better way to connect with the land than by walking its trails. Our surveyors lace up their boots and traverse the terrain, immersing themselves in the sights, sounds, and textures of the landscape. We take the time to meet each tree, assessing its health, species, and potential contribution to the land's ecosystem. We believe that land surveying is more than just a job; it's a journey of discovery and connection.

Harvesting the Trees

Our timber harvesting process at United Hardwoods prioritizes sustainability and environmental stewardship. Utilizing advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment, we ensure minimal impact on the property while achieving the cleanest possible extraction of trees.

Our approach emphasizes selective harvesting, targeting specific trees for removal while leaving surrounding vegetation undisturbed. By carefully planning access routes and employing low-impact equipment, we minimize soil compaction and damage to the forest floor.

Throughout the harvesting process, our skilled team utilizes precision felling techniques to safely and efficiently fell trees, while also minimizing collateral damage to neighboring trees and vegetation. Limbing and bucking are conducted with utmost care to reduce debris and environmental impact.

We are committed to the responsible utilization of logging residues, employing strategies to repurpose materials such as branches and tree tops for mulch, biomass fuel, or other beneficial purposes.

Furthermore, we adhere strictly to all relevant regulations and best practices, ensuring compliance with environmental laws and maintaining the integrity of the ecosystem.

At United Hardwoods, we believe that sustainable forestry practices are essential for the long-term health of our forests and the communities they support. Through our conscientious harvesting methods, we strive to protect the environment while meeting the needs of our customers.
