What is Logging?

Logging is done on a much larger scale than tree removal is. You would not be wrong to call it tree harvesting. That’s important to keep in mind when comparing tree removal vs logging. Logging has to do with the taking down of a large number of trees (usually 20 or more) with the goal of moving those trees to a lumber mill or other industries that will make use of them. There is a lot more logistics involved with logging than there is with tree removal.

Many times, logging that is done for a customer is done free of charge with the logging company getting to sell the trees and make a profit or they may even pay a customer to take their trees if they have enough value. This may also involve land clearing and select cut tree removal.

What is Tree Removal?

Although tree removal can involve the taking down of several trees, it is rarely done on as large of a scale as logging. It is also undertaken many times to beautify a landscape or to keep the remaining trees in a healthier condition. When thinking about tree removal vs logging, logging is also never done to take trees down that are growing too close to a home or to fell weak and diseased trees that have the potential to do damage if they come down during a strong storm.

Tree removal is also never done to make money by moving and selling the trees that have come down. It’s also a charged service that the customer pays for. Even when a lot is cleared of 20 or more trees to make way for a construction project, since the goal of the work was not to make money by selling the trees that were taken down, it’s still considered tree removal as opposed to logging.
