Disaster recovery · Land clearing · Timber
Crooked River Enterprise clears what storms leave behind — debris removal, fallen tree cleanup and site restoration — and buys, manages and harvests standing timber. Owner-operated by Isaac Dotson since 2011.
Lathrop, Missouri
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
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.
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.
Purchase of standing timber, backed by four generations of family experience in timber buying and management.
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 and grinding of cleared material, including contracted mulching services and mulch-haul transport off debris management sites.
Safe, sustainable timber harvesting and land management, drawn from experience built at Isaac Dotson & Sons Logging from 2004 onward.
Demolition work alongside clearing and debris operations, including removal and disposal of construction and demolition materials.
Tree work as its own service line, not only as storm cleanup — the same crews and equipment that handle fallen timber after a disaster.
Hauling of rock, sand, sediment and dirt, loaded from site and spread at designated locations with wheel loaders.

Good questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
