HARVESTING
Do you have a tree that has died, fallen, or been removed, and you don’t want it to end up in the dump?
Trees are removed for a variety of reasons: natural mortality, disease or insect damage, new construction, root damage to sidewalks or foundations, or storm damage. Whether the tree is laying in the yard or just scheduled for removal, we may be able to harvest it and keep it from becoming mulch or sitting in a landfill.
At Urban Timber Harvest, we value trees and understand that we often form emotional connections with them through the years. Once we harvest trees, we mill them to create quality, sustainable lumber and slabs. We harvest logs completely free of charge.
NOTE: We are not a tree service or tree removal company. Rather, we work in conjunction with other businesses as the tree is being removed. We typically work with cities and municipalities, construction companies, land developers, home builders, arborists and tree removal professionals, land and home owners, woodworkers and carpenters, architects, interior designers, and commercial business owners.

VACUUM KILN DRYING
We dry our urban lumber in an iDry Vacuum Kiln. Vacuum kilns dry wood faster and more efficiently than traditional dehumidification kilns or air drying. This means we can decrease our dry time and output high quality live edge slabs and lumber for our clients and commissioned pieces.
We offer vacuum kiln drying to the public! We typically change out our kiln loads once per month. Pricing is dependent on board thickness.
- 4/4 Material = $1.00/BF
- 8/4 Material = $1.75/BF
- 12/4 Material = $2.50/BF
Please call and ask for Brent, if you would like to have your lumber kiln dried.
