Low-Impact Footprint

As much as we listen to you, we listen to your land, taking every precaution to tread lightly and harvest carefully, so your woods comes back with the character and vibrancy you expect.

Woodland Improvement

By considering factors like soil conditions, moisture preferences of tree species, stand density, and tree maturity, we ensure that each harvest contributes to a healthier, more resilient forest for the future.

Timber Valuation

Standing timber doesn’t have a sticker price. These five metrics form the foundation of every fair timber valuation.

Timber Harvest Goals

Here, we share the four most common goals we hear from landowners and how a well-planned harvest can help you reach them.

Ohio’s Invasive Species

Ohio’s forests face constant threats from invasive species. At Hillcrest Lumber, we understand the importance of protecting woodlands from these invaders.

Habitat Design

A well-rounded habitat design is crucial for getting deer on your property — and getting them to come back.

Food Plots

Investing time and energy in creating a quality food plot goes a long way toward promoting deer health, growth, and overall hunting success.

Why Do We Leave Tree Tops in Your Woods?

We have three reasons for leaving tree tops on your land: to protect standing trees, to provide cover for wildlife, and to help your woods bounce back healthier post-harvest.

Cash-First Payment Plan

You’ve spent decades—maybe your whole life—watching that timber grow. When it’s time to sell, the last thing you should have to worry about is whether you’ll actually get paid what you were promised.

Our Process

A partnership that continues through every stage of your harvest. You’re not just selling us your trees. You’re letting us improve your woods.
