Rural and Urban Timberwork

Through professional approaches to forest management and working in compliance with Firewise Fire Mitigation recommendations, I thin timber to improve defensible space around homes and private properties. 

This not only helps protect against wildfire but improves forest health by allowing room for sunlight dependent species to grow. This practice also removes unhealthy or hazardous trees that spread diseases and create risks to life and property.

Services include:

• Free property consultation with myself and Firewise professionals. 

• Felling and limbing of hazard trees.

• Piling or removal of slash, logs and limbs.

• Selective thinning to promote wildlife habitat and healthy forest regrowth.

• Creating and maintaining defensible space around structures.

• Fuels reduction. 

• Road or two track installation. 

• General rehabilitation of mechanized areas through hand raking and dispersal of slash. 

Rates are based on amount of acres and what the job entails. Discounts are offered in exchange for timber to be used as a viable wood product. 

Working in collaboration with Fremont County Weed and Pest, I offer invasive Russian Olive removal from watersheds and private property. Cutting and treating the cut stump with a systemic herbicide is the most effective way to remove this species. Crosscut Lumber and Timberworks holds a valid Commercial Pesticide Applicators License through the Wyoming Department of Agriculture and responsibly handles herbicides. 

Services include:

• Free property consultation.

• Cutting and removal of Russian Olive from ditches, pastures, waterways, and other right of ways.

• Piling or removal of slash, logs and limbs.

• Wildlife habitat and watershed improvement.

• General rehabilitation of mechanized areas through hand raking and dispersal of slash. 

Rates are based on amount of acres and what the job entails. Discounts are offered in exchange for timber to be used as a viable wood product. 

Trees have a lifespan just like humans do, and what happens to them when they reach the end of their lifespan is dependent on what mindset is taken toward them.

Often this includes:

• Mature (old) Trees

• Hazard trees (standing dead or dying, diseased trees)

• Trees getting crowded out by other trees or structures

• View blocking trees

• Storm or wind-fallen trees.

Current Options for These Trees:

• Firewood

• Hauled off to the landfill, for a fee

• Left to decay and rot

Crosscut Lumber and Timberworks is focused on reutilizing "waste woods" in a way that is responsible and sensible through offering free tree pickup or removal (in certain instances).
