Industry-leading forestry logging services for landowners, developers, and land managers across North Carolina
Full-service timber harvesting and forestry logging from first cut to cleared site for residential and commercial projects
Turn-key logging solutions including clear cut, select cut, chipping, and forestry mulching
Our position as a trusted forestry logging contractor in North Carolina has been earned with a strong work ethic, dedication to quality, and the right equipment for every type of logging and timber harvesting operation.
What separates us from others? We handle every phase of forestry logging in-house, so landowners and developers can work with a single contractor from timber felling through site clearing and mulching.
We clear all standing timber from a defined area, leaving the site ready for development, replanting, or land conversion.
Our crews selectively harvest designated trees while preserving the surrounding stand, maintaining the health and value of the remaining timber.
We chip felled trees and logging debris on site, processing material efficiently without the cost and delay of hauling whole logs.
Full-service timber harvesting from felling and limbing through yarding, skidding, and log removal with forestry logging equipment sized to the operation.
Our forestry mulchers process trees, brush, and logging debris into mulch on site, leaving a clean surface ready for grading or replanting.
Ace Avant’s logging division handles every phase of the timber harvesting operation with experienced crews and forestry logging equipment built for residential and commercial land development logging scopes. What is logging in forestry? It is the process of felling, processing, and removing trees from a site for timber value, land conversion, or site preparation, and it requires the right sequence of operations to be done safely and efficiently.
Felling is the first step in any forestry logging operation. Our crews fell trees using chain saws and felling equipment, selecting the direction of fall based on tree lean, surrounding timber, and the overall harvest plan. Safe, controlled felling is the foundation of an efficient logging operation.
After felling, trees are limbed to remove branches and bucked into log lengths suitable for hauling or chipping. Limbing and bucking are performed at the felling site before logs are moved, keeping the work area organized and reducing debris left in the forest.
Yarding and skidding move felled and processed logs from the harvest area to the landing where they are sorted and loaded for transport. We select yarding and skidding methods based on terrain, soil conditions, and timber volume to minimize ground disturbance while moving material efficiently.
No matter the size or type of project, Ace Avant can provide the equipment and method to grade your site right.
Landowners and developers across North Carolina rely on professional forestry logging contractors because a well-planned and properly executed logging operation protects the land, the timber value, and the project timeline. Some of the benefits of working with an experienced logging contractor are:
Professional timber harvesting recovers the value of standing timber before land clearing begins, offsetting site preparation costs.
A logging operation that removes merchantable timber and chips or mulches residual material on site significantly reduces the cost of subsequent land clearing and grading.
Experienced crews and properly sized forestry logging equipment minimize soil disturbance, rutting, and residual debris during the harvest operation.
Coordinating logging, chipping, and forestry mulching in a single scope gets the site to a cleared, grading-ready condition faster than managing multiple contractors.
The type of logging operation a site requires depends on the landowner’s goals, the timber stand, and what happens to the land after logging is complete. Ace Avant performs both clear cut and select cut logging operations across North Carolina, with crews and equipment suited to each approach.
Is your site being converted to residential or industrial development? Is the goal to harvest mature timber while maintaining the surrounding stand? The right cut type depends on the answer.
Ace Avant works with landowners and developers to determine the appropriate logging approach before any equipment moves in, ensuring the operation matches the intended use of the land after harvest.
Clear cutting removes all standing timber from the designated area in a single operation. It is the standard approach for land being converted to development, agriculture, or full replanting, and it produces the most efficient path to a cleared site when the goal is to remove all trees within a defined boundary.
Select cutting harvests designated trees, typically by species, size, or condition, while leaving the surrounding stand intact. It is used to improve timber stand quality, harvest mature or damaged trees, or generate timber revenue without fully clearing the land.
Once timber is felled and logs are removed, residual material including tops, limbs, brush, and non-merchantable wood needs to be managed before the site can move to the next phase. Ace Avant handles logging debris through chipping and forestry mulching, processing material on site rather than leaving it piled or requiring separate haul-off operations.
Our chippers process logging residuals including tops, limbs, and non-merchantable wood into chips at the landing or in the harvest area. Chips can be spread on site, stockpiled, or hauled off depending on the project requirements and the condition of the site after logging.
For sites where logging debris and residual brush need to be processed across the full harvest area, our forestry mulchers grind material in place, leaving a layer of mulch that reduces erosion and prepares the ground surface for grading or replanting.
