Consistently Ahead of Schedule

Every past performance contract has been completed ahead of schedule — from a 2-month project finished in 5 weeks to a 1.5-year contract delivered in 4 months.

Mechanized Equipment Advantage

The Sennebogen 718 Tree Handler, John Deere 2054 Tong Tosser, and Tigercat 830D with hotsaw and mastication head provide industrial mechanized capacity far beyond what labor-only felling crews can deliver.

VIPR Emergency Mobilization

USFS VIPR-qualified with full crew and equipment deployable within 24–48 hours for emergency hazard tree response anywhere in the continental United States.

Core Competencies

From roadside hazard tree removal to full-scale timber harvesting and wildland fire mitigation, DC Falling operates where the work is most demanding and the stakes are highest.

Hazard Tree Removal

Roadside, fire-damaged, and high-risk area removal — including work on steep slopes, unstable terrain, and fire-scarred landscapes requiring specialized felling techniques.

Fire Suppression & Fire Mitigation

Wildland fire suppression support and pre-fire fuel reduction. Experienced crews who understand fire behavior and can work safely in active and post-fire environments.

Forest Management & Restoration

USFS-aligned restoration support including selective timber harvest, stand improvement, and ecological restoration projects across federally managed lands.

Industrial-Scale Logging & Timber Harvesting

Full mechanized timber harvest operations supported by the Sennebogen 718 Tree Handler, John Deere 2054 Tong Tosser, and Tigercat 830D with hotsaw and mastication head — handling volume that manual crews cannot.

Road Clearing & Right-of-Way Maintenance

Priority road stewardship and right-of-way clearing for USFS road networks, including Tier 1 and Tier 2 roads across multi-thousand-acre project areas.

Project Supervision & Crew Deployment

Full project lead capability with experienced crew supervision. Cutters and machine operators deployable within 48 hours — crews of 5 to 9 personnel plus equipment.

What Sets DC Falling Apart
