You are thinking about selling timber from your land, but you have never done it before. You are not sure which trees to sell, what they are worth, or how to talk to buyers. It is easy to feel lost. Toms Tree Services helps owners through the timber sales process in Marquette.
When Do You Need Timber Sales?
Timber sales help is for owners who want to sell timber from their own land and want help with the steps.
To be clear: Toms Tree Services does not buy timber, and we do not log or harvest. The buyer is a separate company that you choose.
Our part is the prep work. That can include marking the trees to sell or keep, cruising the woods to estimate what is there, and putting together tree and value information you can share with buyers.
Having this information lets you compare offers and ask better questions. For contracts and legal terms, talk with a lawyer or other qualified advisor.
In the U.P., Lake Superior wind storms, heavy lake-effect snow and pests affect timber quality. Wet spring ground limits when logging crews can work, so plan ahead.
Selling in a rush can mean taking the wrong trees or less than you could have.
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 your goals for the land and the sale, then walk the woods together. We explain the steps, like marking and cruising, and plan the prep work you want.
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 Sales Cost?
The cost depends on how many acres, how many trees to mark, how much cruising is needed, how thick the woods are 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.
