Independent Loggers

Independent loggers are ideal for smaller parcels (1–10 acres) that larger operations pass on. They handle harvesting directly and often work with local mills.

Questions landowners ask

How many independent loggers are there in Virginia?

69 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the Virginia Department of Forestry private forestry service provider directory, covering 134 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.
