You own acres of woods, but you only know them from walking the trails. You do not know how many trees there are, what kinds, how big, or how healthy. That makes planning hard. Toms Tree Services offers forest inventory in Marquette to give you a clear picture of your woodland.
When Do You Need Forest Inventory?
A forest inventory samples your woods to estimate what is there: tree types, sizes, how thick the stand is, young trees coming up, and overall condition.
It is not the same as a yard tree inventory, which lists single trees near a home. A forest inventory looks at whole stands over many acres using sample plots.
It helps when you are planning management, thinning, clearing, planting or wildlife work, or when you just bought land and want to know what you have.
We do not log, harvest or buy timber. An inventory is about understanding your woods.
In the U.P., woodlands change after Lake Superior wind storms, heavy lake-effect snow and ice, pests and age. Wet spring ground limits access, so fall and early winter are common times to walk the woods.
We do forest inventories for homeowners and property owners in Marquette, Negaunee, Ishpeming, Gwinn and across Marquette County, and will travel farther for the right job.
How the Job Works, Step by Step
It starts with you. Call 906-236-9567 or send the form with your name, phone number and address. Lucas will call you back to set a time to look at your woodland.
Then we come out and look. We talk about your goals and look at a map of the property with you. Then we walk the woods, set sample plots, and measure tree types, sizes and condition. We go over the results with you in plain words.
After that, you get a free estimate. There is no trip fee for the visit and no pressure. You can start with part of the plan or all of it. If you go ahead, we set up the work with you and clean up when we finish.
How Much Does Forest Inventory Cost?
The cost depends on how many acres, how thick the woods are, how many sample plots are needed, ground conditions and access. Distance and how much detail you want also matter.
The estimate is free, and there is no trip fee. When we give you the estimate, we go over what each part of the work covers. That way you can pick what fits your trees and your budget, and change the plan later if your needs change.
