All supervisors are Master Logger Certified and are BMP (Best Management Practices) trained. Their sons Jason and Garit are a large part of our continued success. Our office is located in DeSoto County, and the office staff consists of Essie Cooper and Kelly Rice. We are current long-term members of the Florida Forestry Association and Southeastern Wood Producers Association. In 2006, Wayne was chosen as Master Logger of the year for Florida and a runner-up in 2007 for the regional Master Logger title. CTH has a Mack 10 wheeler with a loader to provide free* pickup of cut timber from small job sites, homesites, construction sites, etc.

*However, we do require a minimum of logs in order to provide this free service.
*If below the minimum, there is a small pickup fee to offset fuel and labor expenses.
