Who we are

Lumber Logz is a multi-generation logging and skidder contracting company created by the founders Jacob A. Thompson and Jay Stetler with roots in both Europe and North America. Built on a family legacy that spans German and British heritage along side co founder Jay Stetler. The company has grown from traditional forestry practices into a modern operation serving the UK, Germany, Scotland, Virginia and also contract jobs in parts of Asia.

With decades of experience behind us, we combine deep knowledge of the land with advanced equipment and certified crews to deliver safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible timber harvesting. Our reputation is built on trust, sustainability, and consistency values that have guided our work for generations.

At Lumber Logz, we are more than a logging company; we are stewards of the forest, dedicated to quality timber, responsible practices, and long-standing client partnerships.
