Common Logging Problems in Canterbury
Logging without proper planning, equipment, and industry connections wastes valuable timber. Many property owners across Canterbury face undersold or wasted logs, timber left to rot on the ground, and little financial return from mature trees. Poorly managed logging damages fences, paddocks, and waterways, leaving costly cleanup while the timber value disappears. For lifestyle blocks and farms with pine blocks or mature shelterbelts ready for removal, the challenge isn't just felling trees - it's unlocking their true value. Most contractors lack industry buyer connections to maximize timber returns. Without expertise in grading and market knowledge, property owners receive poor prices or watch valuable milling timber sold as firewood. Coordinating logging, site cleanup, and timber sales across multiple contractors proves difficult and expensive. Meanwhile, overgrown forestry blocks and aging shelterbelts continue occupying productive land, blocking development opportunities and reducing property value.
