Logging and Timber Purchasing:
We purchase timber. No matter what size tract you have we are set up for it, large or small. We have a small crew that is set up for small to medium size jobs and we have a big crew that is set up to do big jobs. Usually the smaller tracts we prefer to be within 40-50 miles of the Magnolia/Tomball, Texas area. Larger tracts I will go as far north as within 75+/- of Lufkin, Texas. I will almost go anywhere in the state if it is atleast 100+ acres. We have large tractors for large tracts of timber and we have small tractors for small tracts of timber.
If you are wanting to sell your timber just call 281-CUT-TREE. I will come meet with you at your property and give you an estimate of how much your timber is worth. Depending upon the amount of money the deal is and how the ground conditions are I usually pay for the timber with a Cashier’s Check upfront.
Cutting the Timber is not Land Clearing.
Is your timber worth Money?
If you are interested in us coming in and out real fast, leaving you a big mess, and no clean up – Yes your timber is worth money.
If you want the mess cleaned up: gathering all the tops and limbs, and other miscellaneous debris left or caused by a logging job and grinding the stumps – you timber is not worth any money. It cost more money to clean up the mess than what the timber will generate to the landowner.
Here is a picture of our set. A set is the area we use to separate the logs and pulpwood and then load onto the trucks.
The main factors that affect the value of timber are:
- Volume
- Quality
- Accessibility (working room)
- Distance to the mill
There are 2 different ways of cutting trees down on a logging job:
With a chainsaw or With a Saw Head. The saw head machine will place the trees side by side so the skidder can back up to them and drag them. Instead of them falling different directions.
On an average job I need at least 30 - 60 trees to be enough volume of trees to be worth while just to show up with the equipment to cut the trees for free for the taking, unless they are in a tight working area for falling, dragging, and loading.
On an average job I need at least 80-100 +/- trees to be enough volume of trees to be worth while to move in the equipment, cut the trees, and to be able to pay money for the trees, unless they are in a tight working area for falling, dragging, and loading.
If you want clean-up work performed please refer to the Residential Land Clearing page of the site.
