When you’re looking for top quality work, Robert Borror Logging LLC is here to help. Our team of professionals is available to provide a wide range of timber thinning, all guaranteed to meet and exceed expectations. There are many types of timber cuts that can take place; many depend on the location, terrain, & the existing timber species. Two of the main types of cuts around this area are Timber Thinning & Clear Cuts. 

​

Clearcut: Clearcutting involves cutting down every tree in the forest. This causes the forests to naturally reset & start from scratch. In most cases, Clearcutting is done in timber stands where there is undesirable/unprofitable timber, such as Pine, Gum, and Scarlet Oak. This type of cut is also good for building houses, making a field for farmland, and cow pasture land. Generally, clear cutting can sometimes provide the most revenue for the land owner. 

​

Selective Timber Cut: A selective cut focuses on the profitable timber that should be harvested. While some companies cut timber that has diameters of 12" & 14", we recommend land owners to harvest timber that is 16" & bigger in diameter for future generation loggers & so the smaller growth can prosper quicker. This cut will help make more revenue because the timber will be able to be cut again in 20-30 years instead of 50-60 years. For maximum revenue, we do recommend harvesting 12" timber & bigger. 

​

Timber Stand Improvement: Many areas in Eastern West Virginia & Northern Virginia grow undesirable growth that can sometimes starve out a profitable forest. Timber Stand Improvements involve harvesting the junk timber from the forest so the profitable timber can grow quicker. The types of trees cut in a TSI are crooked trees, dead trees, pines, scarlet oak, & timber with bad genetics. With these types of trees removed, the desirables can seed off the forest floor producing a genetically improved timber stand.
