Professional Logging in Ohio and Pennsylvania
Logging is the heart of what we do. With over 35 years in the woods, our crews harvest standing timber safely, cleanly, and with a long-term view of your property's health. We work on tracts of 10 or more wooded acres and handle everything from the first cut to the final load. Our logging work includes:
Selective & Full Harvests
Whether you want a select cut that leaves your woods growing or a complete harvest, we build a plan around your goals.
Experienced, Insured Crews
Our sawyers and equipment operators bring decades of hands-on experience to every tract we touch.
Low-Impact Practices
Careful skid trail planning, erosion control, and cleanup keep your land in good shape long after we leave.
Land Clearing for Farms, Lots & Development
If you need to open up wooded ground for farming, pasture, a building site, or a new development, JD Logging is your go-to partner. We provide professional land clearing that balances efficiency with care for the environment. Our team specializes in:
Large-Scale Land Clearing
Perfect for properties looking to expand agricultural use or prepare for construction projects.
Comprehensive Cleanup
We remove timber, brush, stumps, and debris, leaving your property ready for its next phase.
Clearing Straight Into Excavating
Because we excavate too, we can clear the ground and then grade, dig, and prep it without bringing in a second contractor.
Timber Buying at Competitive Prices
Selling your timber is an important decision, and JD Logging ensures you get competitive pricing while maintaining the health and integrity of your land. We purchase timber from properties with 10 or more wooded acres, focusing on high-value hardwoods like oak, maple, walnut, and cherry, as well as other species. Our process includes:
Expert Timber Evaluation
We assess the size, species, and quality of your timber to offer a fair market price.
Sustainable Harvesting Practices
We implement eco-friendly methods that protect the surrounding environment and preserve your land for future use.
Hassle-Free Transactions
From evaluation to payment, we handle the entire process efficiently and professionally.
Excavating Services for Home & Jobsite
Excavating is the newest addition to what JD Logging offers, and it is a natural fit for a company that has spent decades working on the ground. From shaping a new lawn to digging a pond or prepping a building site, we bring the equipment and the know-how. Our excavating work covers:
Grading & Lawns
Rough and finish grading that moves water away from your buildings, plus full lawn prep and seeding on new or reworked ground.
Ponds
New pond excavation and existing pond cleanout, dug and shaped to hold water and look good doing it.
Construction Site Clearing
Trees down, stumps out, ground leveled, and access built so your builder can start on schedule.
Foundations & Waterproofing
Basement and footer excavation, backfill, and exterior foundation waterproofing to keep water where it belongs.

Professional Land Clearing for Large Wooded Properties
Clearing land can be a challenging process, but with JD Logging, it becomes a seamless experience. We specialize in clearing 10 or more wooded acres, offering a full range of services:

- Lawns: Topsoil placement, final grade, and seeding to establish a clean, level lawn.
- Ponds: New pond construction and cleanout of silted-in or overgrown existing ponds.
