What We Do

Timber Buying & Consultations

We purchase standing timber directly from landowners. Whether you own pine, hardwood, or mixed tracts, our team offers free timber consultations to help you understand the value of your timber and determine if now is the right time to cut. With decades of market experience, we provide clear guidance and ensure you receive a fair, competitive price for your timber.

Logging & Harvesting

Once a purchase is agreed on, we handle every step of the harvest. Our logging crews use select cut, thinning, or clear-cut methods based on your goals and property needs. From start to finish, we focus on efficiency, safety, and sustainability—leaving your land in better condition for future growth.

Our Process

Here’s what you can expect when you contact Premier Land and Timber about a timber sale.

  1. Request a timber appraisal. Tell us the county, the approximate acreage, and what you have in mind. Include your map and parcel number if you have it. If you’re unsure what to cut, we can discuss that in the woods.
  2. Walk the tract with Blake or Barry. We look at the species, size, and quality of the timber and discuss your goals. This is a good time to point out trees you want to keep, creek crossings, gates, or areas you want the crew to avoid.
  3. Review the offer. We explain the proposed cut, the price and how payment would work, access for trucks, and the expected timing. You can review the timber agreement and ask questions before deciding whether to sell.
  4. Prepare for the crew. Once the agreement is signed, we coordinate timber permits, mark the agreed harvest limits, and review the tract map and access routes with Shane Cape’s D&S Logging crew.
  5. Follow the harvest through completion. Blake checks the tract while the crew is working. When cutting is complete, we review the harvested area and answer any questions you have about the work.
