We Make Selling Timber In Ohio Easy

Master Loggers

Our team of master loggers is trained and certified by the ODNR Division of Forestry in best management practices (BMP) for water quality, erosion control, felling techniques, safety, and first aid.

Select Cutting

Forget clear cutting, which can greatly diminished the value and productivity of your land. At K&B Lumber, we only selectively cut mature trees that are ready for harvest and leave the rest.

Land Improvements

There are many benefits to your property that come from a timber harvest. You’ll have better access to it through logging roads, your wildlife will enjoy increases in forest undergrowth, and more.

Sell Your Timber To Us: You Get Logging Best Practices

Efficient Logging Roads

Depending on whether your land has been logged before, we work with existing timber logging roads, or construct new ones. Our goal is always to create the most efficient road system possible and minimize stream crossings. We build skid trails, log landings, and main haul roads in accord with the natural topography of your property.

For forested tracts with previously build logging roads, we evaluate the existing system and make maintenance improvements where we can. Sometimes due to lack of maintenance or bad location and design, some of the roads are unusable. In this case we would incorporate as many of the old tracts as possible, and build new roads to complement the old system.

Minimimal Erosion

Without proper care, erosion can become a problem when constructing logging roads. To fight erosion, we create sediment barriers using hay bales and silt fences to temporarily limit erosion during a harvest, in accordance with the ODNR’s best management practices.

Stream Protection

Water needs to flow naturally on your land for it to maintain its health and vitality. We work around streams and wet areas to the extent that we can, and bring in temporary bridges or construct temporary water crossings using gravel and culverts where appropriate.

Reseeding

Following a harvest, we analyze the condition of the road system and affected areas and reseed wherever it’s necessary. The regrowth of vegetation helps restore your land, improves it’s appearance, and provides a permanent defense against erosion.

Better Habitats for Wildlife

It’s a common misconception that logging is bad for wildlife. When timber harvests are done in the right way, it can actually increase the overall number and quality of habitats for wildlife. How is this possible?

Holes in the forest canopy: Removing tall trees creates holes in the forest canopy, allowing light to penetrate down to the forest floor. This allows new ground vegetation to flourish where before there was none. Animals thrive on this new growth, using it both as a source of food and shelter.

Tree Tops: We make it a point to leave the tree tops on your property, which provides valuable cover for deer and other wildlife. It also has the benefit of recycling the organic material over time as the dead branches decay and return to nature.
