Crooked River Enterprise — Facelift Mockup (Classic Blue)

Lathrop, Missouri

Fourth generation on the same ground

Isaac Dotson has owned and operated Crooked River Enterprise since 2011, after running Isaac Dotson & Sons Logging from 2004 through 2010. His family has bought and managed standing timber for generations. Since 2022 the company has worked five disaster recoveries across Texas, Georgia, Arkansas and Florida — and it still runs out of Lathrop.

What we build

What Crooked River does

Disaster cleanup, standing timber, land clearing, mulching, timber management, demolition, tree service and rock and dirt hauling — every line of work Crooked River describes in its own words, on its website and its Facebook page.

Disaster Cleanup & Salvage

Debris removal, fallen tree cleanup, damage mitigation and site restoration after severe weather — hauling from public rights-of-way to approved disposal and processing sites.

Buying Standing Timber

Purchase of standing timber, backed by four generations of family experience in timber buying and management.

Land Clearing

Clearing crews and modern equipment for property and site work, handled to meet the needs of the project and the land it sits on.

Mulching

Mulching and grinding of cleared material, including contracted mulching services and mulch-haul transport off debris management sites.

Timber Management

Safe, sustainable timber harvesting and land management, drawn from experience built at Isaac Dotson & Sons Logging from 2004 onward.

Demolition

Demolition work alongside clearing and debris operations, including removal and disposal of construction and demolition materials.

Tree Service

Tree work as its own service line, not only as storm cleanup — the same crews and equipment that handle fallen timber after a disaster.

Rock & Dirt Hauling

Hauling of rock, sand, sediment and dirt, loaded from site and spread at designated locations with wheel loaders.

FAQs

Who owns and runs Crooked River Enterprise?

Isaac Dotson has owned and operated Crooked River Enterprise since 2011. Before that he owned and operated Isaac Dotson & Sons Logging from 2004 through 2010, building experience in timber harvesting, land management and business operations. He is a fourth-generation timber professional.

What disaster recovery work have you done?

Five published recoveries since 2022: the 2025 Texas Floods in Williamson County, Hurricane Helene in Swainsboro, Georgia, the 2024 Arkansas tornados, Hurricane Idalia in Jasper, Florida, and Hurricane Ian in Fort Myers and on Pine Island, Florida.

Do you work as a prime contractor or with partners?

Both. Their published recoveries were performed in partnership with DRC, TFR, Mid-Atlantic, Timberline Trading and Dotson & Son, and their scope on those jobs included procuring and managing subcontractors for tree removal and debris hauling.

What happens to the material you haul?

Collected material is transported to approved disposal and processing sites in accordance with project requirements. On several projects Crooked River also established and managed the debris management sites themselves, and contracted the mulching and grinding of processed material.
