 MARKING-

Marking a woods is truly an art and take years of experience to master ! At this stage Number or slash each tree with paint in the order we inventory them. This ensures the Logger and landowner can easily see each tree to be harvested. 

Our Foresters will professionally appraise your Standing Timber value and offer you a price for the trees marked and sign a professional Timber contract with the total price that will be paid and negotiate the terms of the contract,  such as the time frame with an end date the job must be completed by, the total number of trees marked for harvest and how the money will be paid. Typically most conompanies will put 10% down and pay the rest before cutting starts. 

PERCENTAGE BASED CONTRACT-

 Percentage based contract are another option used when selling Timber. It is done the exact same way besided the Timber buyer and Landowner will negotiate the percentage each party will get of the gross sale . 

We always recommend making the company put a guaranteed minimum price! This would mean no matter what your price can never be less than this price.

Our Loggers will come in and cut and skid all marked Timber and drag the Trees into a designated area or "Landing " this is where the Trees will be cut into specific lengths. Each species of trees have specific lengths, that they should be cut into to get the most money 

At this stage a picker truck will come load up the cut logs and take them to the sawmill to be cut into lumber.

The final step is to clean up the landing area where logs were staged and smooth up all paths and skid trails and ensure each job is completed to Ohio's BMP standard.
