Northwoods Tree & Land Service – Elevating Forestry with Diamond C

Since 2016, Northwoods Tree & Land has been setting a new standard in California’s tree care and land management industry. With a foundation built on safety, sustainability, and excellence, this dedicated team has spent the last nine years managing the state’s forests and serving a wide range of commercial, municipal, and residential clients. Based in California, Northwoods specializes in land clearing, hazard tree removal, forestry mulching, and emergency response—partnering with organizations like CalFire and the US Forest Service to protect and preserve the environment.

Leveling Up With Diamond C

As their business grew, Northwoods Tree & Land recognized the need to improve their transport and pickup operations. Hauling heavy machinery, moving brush, and transporting gear from remote forest job sites to urban areas requires serious dependability. That’s when they turned to Diamond C.

“We were ready to step up our game,” Waylon Spence said. “When it came to finding trailers to pair with our new trucks, there was only one clear option—Diamond C.”

Choosing the right trailer isn’t just about looks or price—it’s about investing in tools that make a meaningful impact on how work gets done. And for Northwoods, choosing Diamond C meant aligning with a manufacturer that shared their values: relationships, results, and reputation.

Custom Solutions, Built to Work

In February of this year, Northwoods added a new FMAX216 to their fleet—and the results have been nothing short of excellent. This trailer isn’t just another piece of gear—it’s a workhorse that’s been carefully outfitted to meet the unique needs of their business. With options tailored specifically to the kind of rugged, all-terrain work Northwoods tackles every day, the FMAX216 delivers the functionality and toughness required to keep jobs moving.

“The trailer was custom-tailored to our exact needs with all the necessary bells and whistles,” Spence shared. “Though the hydraulic jacks have got to be my favorite.”

This customized setup not only enhanced their day-to-day efficiency but gave their team confidence on every job site.

Hydraulic jacks may seem like a small feature, but for a team that moves fast and deals with heavy loads on uneven terrain, those kinds of details save time, energy, and wear on their crew. It’s one more example of how thoughtful equipment design can make all the difference.

Proven Performance, Trusted Brand

Northwoods Tree & Land doesn’t just use their trailer—they rely on it. From the day they rolled it off the lot, their FMAX216 has been hard at work, hauling everything from skid steers to logging equipment through some of California’s most remote regions. The trailer’s toughness, balance, and low-maintenance design have made it a key part of their operations.

And it’s not just about performance—it’s also about trust. When asked if he would recommend Diamond C to others, the response was immediate:

“Absolutely, time and time again. We’ve sent multiple others to Trailer Source to pick up their own.”

That kind of trust only comes from real-world results.

Advice for New Entrepreneurs

Success in this industry doesn’t come overnight—and no one knows that better than Northwoods Tree & Land. For those thinking about starting their own business, especially in challenging fields like forestry, they offer a grounded, honest perspective rooted in years of experience.

“You’re going to fail—so fail early and fail fast. The sooner you get past your pride and understand that failure is a necessary part of the process, the sooner you’ll grow,” Spence advised. “Admit when you’re wrong and learn from it.”

It’s that kind of mindset—resilient, humble, and forward-looking—that has helped Northwoods grow from a startup into a trusted name across the region.

“If there’s one thing I could leave new contractors with, it’s this: Work hard & be honest—the rest will come.”

Diamond C is proud to be a part of Northwoods Tree & Land’s journey and inspired by the work they’re doing across California. It’s customers like this that remind us why we build trailers that go the distance.
