LEARN THE STEPS TO SELLING TIMBER IN OHIO

 Our Foresters will properly mark your Timberlot using our extensive Forestry Management background to keep your Timberlot healthy and thriving for generations to come.

 At this stage we will often mark or number each tree and make a complete inventory list of each marked "species- overall grade - height and diameter" this allows us to accurately appraise your Standing Timber.

Choosing

Our Foresters will appraise your Standing Timber this 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. 

If a percentage based job the contract would state the percentage each party will get of the gross sale and 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 tees to a designated area or "Landing " this is where logs 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.
