At Rivers Edge Land Management, we provide the specialized equipment and local expertise needed to manage, protect, and enhance your El Dorado County property.

Every project is unique, which is why we work strictly by appointment to ensure your land gets the dedicated attention it deserves.
At Rivers Edge Land Management, we provide comprehensive timber services tailored to the specific needs of your acreage. Whether you’re looking to improve forest health or clear a site for development, we handle every log with purpose.
AImprove the health of your stand by removing suppressed or overcrowded trees. This reduces competition for resources, allowing your best timber to thrive while significantly lowering fire risk.
Complete removal services for building sites, pasture conversions, or specific land-use goals. We ensure the ground is left ready for the next phase of your project.
Need to move fast due to dead, dying, or diseased timber? We understand the California regulatory landscape and can help navigate emergency harvest exemptions to protect your property quickly.
We take a long-term view of your property. Our stewardship services focus on sustainable practices that enhance wildlife habitat, water retention, and overall forest resilience for generations to come.
Transform your overgrown property into a clean, park-like landscape. Our high-efficiency mastication services grind thick brush and small trees into a wood-chip mulch, providing an immediate solution for land clearing without the need for hauling or burning.
The most effective way to create defensible space. We break down "ladder fuels" that allow ground fires to climb into the canopy, significantly increasing your home’s wildfire survivability.
Mastication eliminates the need for large burn piles, permits, and smoke. It’s a faster, safer, and more environmentally friendly way to clear your land year-round.
Unlike clearing with a dozer, mastication leaves the root systems intact and covers the ground in a protective layer of mulch. This prevents erosion, retains soil moisture, and puts nutrients back into the earth.
Clear out the "wall of green" to reveal your property’s potential. We specialize in thinning out manzanita, oak scrub, and berries to create a clean, manicured look that opens up your views and increases property value.
From overgrown pastures to neglected hillsides, our equipment makes quick work of dense vegetation that is too thick to tackle by hand.
TFor properties with a high volume of debris or large-diameter material, professional burning is often the most effective and affordable solution. We provide managed, safe, and legal vegetation burning to clear your land and reduce fuel loads.
When you have more material than a masticator can efficiently handle, burning provides a cost-effective way to clear large sections of land without the expense of hauling.
While mastication is perfect for brush, our burning services are designed to handle the heavy stuff—large limbs, trunks, and massive debris piles that other methods leave behind.
Burning leaves your ground clear and open. By turning thick vegetation into minimal ash, we help restore the natural landscape and improve the overall aesthetics of your acreage.
From overgrown pastures to neglected hillsides, our equipment makes quick work of dense vegetation that is too thick to tackle by hand.
Dead, dying, or leaning trees are more than an eyesore—they are a liability to your home and safety. We specialize in the controlled removal of dangerous timber in challenging environments.
Not every dangerous tree is obvious. We identify "hazard trees" with structural defects, root rot, or pest damage (like Bark Beetle) that pose a threat to your structures or power lines.
Whether it’s a tight space near a house or a crowded forest stand, we use expert falling techniques to ensure trees land exactly where they need to—safely and predictably.
When the heavy Sierra snow or high winds bring trees down, we provide prompt service to buck, limb, and remove debris, clearing your driveways and protecting your roofline.
We clear out standing dead timber (snags) that serve as "torch trees" during a wildfire, significantly reducing the heat intensity near your home.
Don’t get caught in the cold. We provide high-quality, seasoned firewood to keep your home warm all winter long. Sourced from our local land management projects, our wood is split, cured, and ready to burn.
The gold standard for home heating. Oak is a dense hardwood that burns hot and slow, providing a long-lasting coal bed that stays warm through the night.
Perfect for starting fires or for a fragrant, crackling burn. Cedar lights easily and puts off an incredible aroma, making it a favorite for both stoves and outdoor pits.
Our wood is a byproduct of our fuels reduction and forest thinning projects right here in El Dorado County. Buying from us supports local forest health.
