This logging job at Bottoms Bridge in New Kent was one of the tough ones. The tract was a mix of pine and hardwood, and about 30 acres of it was swamp, with many creeks running through the property.

We started in July 2025, and the first week we were there it began raining heavily. If you remember that summer, it rained for almost a month straight. All that rain made the already wet ground and the areas we were trying to cut even more difficult. We clear-cut where we could, but there was actually a lot of good timber we had to leave behind because the ground was extremely poor to work with.

In the end, we cut about 40 acres, and it took us a little over two months to finish. That is not an ideal situation for us, and the job was very difficult financially, but that is what happens when Mother Nature does her thing sometimes. The landowner was happy with the results and with the money he made from the timber. Here is a look at the equipment and the work on site.
