Testimonials

We received a letter and brochure from Dalton Mountain Forestry a few years ago. We were not sure that we wanted to have logging done on our property, but after retiring, we had time to do the research needed to help us make a decision.

We called for an appointment, and after meeting with Bryan, we knew immediately that our research was done. We were ready to have our property managed, and there was no need to call other companies.

Yes, Bryan is that good!!! He is polite and very easy to work with. He is knowledgeable, and his passion for his work is obvious.

The whole process exceeded our expectations in every way. Bryan is a true professional, and we give him our highest recommendation.

Bryan was a true professional in every step of the process, from assessing my 168 Acres, development of an excellent forestry plan, taking care of approvals and paperwork, execution of the operation, and through to completion and close out. He was highly responsive to communication with me throughout and kept me up to date with every step and delivered detailed documentation.

Bryan was very detailed and thoughtful in marking of the property, which was no easy task in rough terrain, and selection and marking of timber. He kept close tabs on the operations to make sure all went according to plan. It was not possible for me to be at the site very often, so I relied completely on Bryans oversight and integrity to make sure it went according to plan and there were no surprises. He exceeded my expectations. I had some special requests for how I wanted some parts of the property to be managed and he took care to make sure it went according to my desires.

It’s not easy to find the superior level of service and professionalism these days that I received from Bryan. I very highly recommend his services!

Due to the variabilities of weather, timber markets, mill capacities, and reliability of timber companies, our land conversion project seemed doomed from the start. Despite this, not only was Bryan able to get the project accomplished, he exceeded our expectations and provided more income than we expected. He improved our land, protected our assets, and gave expert advice throughout. He was the professional we needed while we tackled our huge land project creating fields, silvo-pasture, forests, and wildlife habitats!

As senior citizens owning 65 acres of land, we decided to harvest some timber. When we asked questions of Bryan, he answered them in detail and whenever he said he was going to start the process of harvesting, it started with no delays. The process was neat with NO deep holes in the ground and no piles of brush lying around on the ground. When he said the job would be finished by a certain time frame, that is when it was done. We have had other loggers come out and harvest timber for us in the past with disappointing results, but Bryan is the true professional. He knows what he is doing, shares information with the landowner and gets the job done well!

The quality of the work was outstanding, the roads and staging areas were left clean and in better condition than expected. The timber prices were spot on and the work sheets were clear and easy to understand. The overall income exceeded our expectations.

Bryan was a pleasure to work with. He is well trained and has many years of experience in the industry growing up in a family of Forestry. He was diligent in his work effort, did all the field survey work and TSP work in a fast and efficient manner. His documents were professionally done, excellent representation of the forest and made all our paperwork and project sail through the process of becoming a tree farm.

Next when we logged the property Bryan did an awesome job again getting the property logged to afford good growth and a healthy forest. He managed the project without an issues and left the property clean, seeded and ready for the next logging adventure. Bryan is awesome and a pleasure to work with. He has a great attitude and loves what he does. I would highly recommend him for any forestry project.

Keep up the great work Bryan, you made it a breeze for me to accomplish my goals.

I put my trust in Bryan and have not been disappointed. He kept me abreast of activities, responded promptly in answering my several questions and provided detailed documentation of timber sales. No Slash piles were left and the haul ways and yarding area were left in great condition. I strongly recommend Bryan and will use him again for my next cut.

My neighbors, some long-term owners and farmers, commented on the speed and quality of the work they saw. Minimum slash and waste was left behind, and no trash. All temporary bridging for skidding over seasonal stream beds were cleared. During heavy rains I did see an overflow of one of the erosion control ditches, but I was able to correct it easily. The final tally was very close to that estimated, with all records, logger, taxes, etc. provided for review. Timber prices where right in line with the market.

Now, over a year later, I walk the trails left and see the growth that I was looking for, and plan on contracting Bryan in the future.

I contacted Bryan based upon a well-written, informative mailing I received from him. After speaking with him, I crossed my fingers and agreed to have him prepare a forestry management plan for my property. I was impressed: it was remarkably thorough and complete, and extended well beyond my initial priorities, fully addressing the total health of my woodlot.

The thinning operation was scheduled, and Bryan kept me well informed of minor changes in the timing. Once begun, progress was swift and fully compliant with the agreed-upon plan. Bryan was frequently on-site to supervise the entire operation, and the logging company he recommended performed professionally and responsibly. My woodlot has benefitted as I had hoped from this operation, and I am highly satisfied with the results. Bryan has restored my faith in the logging industry. I recommend him highly.

Bryan is thoroughly enjoyable, welcoming all questions and working closely with us to meet our objectives.

We had heard horror stories regarding other logging operations that were not well managed, and the end results were quite disappointing to the owners.

Your patience, supervision and professionalism made all the difference to us . Your advice to selectively harvest our 113 ac was spot on. Not only did we receive a fair market value for the timber, but the job was done in a manner that exceeded our expectations.

While we chose to selective harvest only 30% of our timber, when the work was done we were pleasantly surprised.. Not only was there no clear cutting but the clean up and selective cutting almost made it look like the property was never logged.

We will definitely use Dalton Mountain Forestry again in a few more years.
