Services FAQs
How do I know if my timber is ready to harvest?
It depends on species, age, density, and your long-term goals. A site visit is the best way to determine the right timing.

Will logging damage my property?
A well-planned project minimizes impact and can actually improve the long-term health and usability of your land.
Do I need permits before starting a project?
Some projects require permits depending on the scope and location. We can help guide you through what is needed.
Can I selectively log instead of clear cutting?
Yes. Many landowners choose thinning or selective logging to balance income with land preservation.
Let's Get Started
As a matter of courtesy, High Mountain Resources is willing to help landowners facilitate other aspects of the timber harvest experience. We will help provide professional people who can do everything from timber cruising to slash disposal and reforestation. In other words, let us help you all the way through the process.
Experience
With over 40 years of experience in the timber industry, the folks at High Mountain Resources know how to serve you. From quality workmanship to knowledge of other aspects of forestry, we give the landowner assurance that their job is being done right and that their property is in capable hands.
Practices
We address environmental challenges with an ethical approach. Streams, slopes and wildlife are all examples of these challenges. In these cases, we usually fall trees away from streams, limit work on steep and unstable slopes and usually leave habitat for wildlife to mitigate the effect of timber harvesting.
Selling Your Logs
Getting the most for your logs is more than just selling to the highest bidder. It is the art of knowing where to cut your logs to maximize grade and scale which are the basis on which logs are priced and sold. It is the ability and willingness to sort and sell logs to multiple buyers. That's where we can help.
Consulting
Not sure what to do with your timberland? We help landowners understand their options. Whether you're looking to harvest, manage for the long term, sell, or improve property access, we'll walk your land, listen to your goals, and provide honest guidance on what's realistic for your situation. No obligation—just straightforward advice.
Client Testimonials
Ken Groat has been a valuable part of our tree farm for many years. His knowledge of forest practices, timber markets, and operations has been a tremendous asset. Ken developed a strong relationship with my father and continues to be someone our family can count on for advice, guidance, and help when needed.
Will A., Family Tree Farm
We hired High Mountain Resources to log four acres of our woodland lot in 2025. Ken was professional, timely, and handled our neighbors' concerns with care. He even helped coordinate the access road and prepare the property for replanting. The entire process was straightforward, and our timber payments arrived promptly.
I highly recommend High Mountain Resources for small woodland projects.
Wayne H.
Ken was knowledgeable, cautious, and well connected with local timber buyers. He helped us make the most of our property while preserving its natural beauty and important shade trees. The finished property looks like a park, and we no longer worry about trees threatening our home. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
