Woodson was established by Steve Woodson, a man deeply rooted in forestry from his childhood. Inspired by his Great-Grandfather's tales of 19th-century logging, Steve cultivated a mindset of hard work. Armed with a Forestry degree, he laid the foundation for his future, hiring laborers and a tree planter. While initial progress was gradual, a turning point occurred in the harsh winter of 1980, where Woodson and his team recovered losses within 11 days. This resilience became a hallmark of Team Woodson, shaping the ethos of the company.

From Steve's aspiration for a better life, Woodson Incorporated has evolved into a prominent player in forestry and vegetation management. Enduring through adverse weather and working tirelessly, the company has embraced technological advancements in tree felling, adapting to the challenges of power line interactions. Over four decades, Steve Woodson's honesty, integrity, and unparalleled work ethic have built a skilled team dedicated to keeping the lights on. His mantra, "The reward for good work is simply more work," reflects a life lesson passed down from generations, establishing Woodson as an enduring force in forestry.
