To Sell Trees for Lumber Illinois Looks to Us
You can’t just count on any buyer to take timber off your hands. Only licensed timber buyers can reliably buy and sell your trees for a fair market price. That’s where Walnut Timber Buyers comes to help! When you need to sell trees for lumber, Illinois landowners know we’re the most reliable logging company around.
Our family owned business has been helping to harvest and sell timber for the past 30 years. With a crew of experienced loggers, we know walnut trees and white oaks better than anyone else. We help determine the best trees to get the highest value, and help you sell them to interested parties.
Why Go Through Licensed Timber Buyers?
The Timber Buyer Licensing Act was approved by the Illinois General Assembly in 1969. According to the law, all acts of buying or selling timber must go through a licensed timber buyer. But more than that, the law set out to defend landowners from shady timber buyers.
Back before a license was needed, anyone could buy and sell timber. This lack of organization bred theft of timber from landowners. Trees where being cut down without permission, and people had no proper recourse. While the law has now changed that practice for the better, other logging companies have found different ways to take advantage of landowners.
Often, we find the timber prices you’re quoted from other logging companies are vastly underbid, costing you thousands in lost revenue. At Walnut Timber Buyers, we only give you the maximum value for your trees and won’t try to haggle you down.
The Way it Works
When you sell trees for lumber, Illinois locals get a tailored process from Walnut Timber Buyers that is simple, effective and profitable.
- We come to your property and assess the state of your trees, determining which are the best to harvest.
- After marking the trees to collect, we carefully cut them down, ensuring none fall onto neighboring property or into a creek or stream.
- Once cut, we haul the lumber on roads and grades we create to make as little of a footprint on your property as possible.
- Next, we find the maximum value for the timber you’re selling and offer it to you at that rate.
- Finally, we take the logs off your land once you receive full payment.
