Dave Backhaus is the man behind DB Timber Falling. He grew up in New England before serving in the United States Marine Corps as an infantryman after high school. Post military service, he got his start in the timber industry hand cutting New England hardwoods for local loggers while earning a B.S. in Natural Resources (Forestry concentration) at the University of Connecticut.

An interest in wildfire brought Dave west, and he began working as a hotshot in the US Forest Service. During his seven years with hotshot crews, he had the unique experience of working in many states and with different timber types, while learning the fine arts of hazard and fire weakened tree mitigation.

In 2022, DB Timber Falling was born out of a desire to provide you with high quality, dependable and productive forestry services to safely meet your needs. He’s worked with loggers in the PNW cutting oversize and unaccessible trees for their mechanical operations to precisely falling difficult residential trees for local tree services. Our customers’ satisfaction is our top priority and we’d love to hear from you.
