You know your woods have good trees, but you do not know how many, what kinds, or how big. Without numbers, it is hard to plan or answer questions from buyers. Guessing can cost you. Toms Tree Services offers timber cruising in Marquette to give you a closer count.
When Do You Need Timber Cruising?
Timber cruising means walking the woods in a set pattern and measuring sample trees to estimate what is standing across the property.
It helps before a timber sale, when making a plan for your woods, or when you want to track how your trees are growing.
We record tree types, sizes, heights and condition, and note access and problem areas like storm or pest damage.
A cruise is an estimate based on samples. It does not count every tree. For formal or legal needs, ask who needs it what they require.
Toms Tree Services does not buy timber, and we do not log or harvest.
In the U.P., dense woods, wet spring ground and heavy lake-effect snow affect when a cruise can be done. Fall, after the leaves drop, is often a good time to see trees clearly.
We help 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 woods.
Then we come out and look. We talk about why you need the cruise and how much detail you want. Then we walk the woods in a set pattern, measure sample trees, and go over the results with you.
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 Timber Cruising Cost?
The cost depends on how many acres, how thick the woods are, how many sample points are needed, the ground and access. Distance also matters.
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.
