The time it takes to harvest timber depends on several factors, including the size of the area, the density and type of trees, the terrain, and weather conditions. Generally, a typical timber harvest can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks.
Assessment and Planning: Initially, our timber buyer conducts an on-site evaluation to assess the timber and plan the harvest. This phase includes marking the trees to be harvested and determining the best access routes.
Cutting and Skidding: The actual cutting of trees and skidding (transporting logs to a landing area) is the most time-intensive part of the process. The duration depends on the number of trees and the ease of access.
Loading and Transport: Once the trees are cut and skidded to the landing area, they are loaded onto trucks for transport to the mill. This phase also depends on the volume of timber and the distance to the mill.
Throughout the process, we strive to work efficiently while minimizing disruption to your property. We will provide you with a more specific timeline after the initial assessment and planning phase, ensuring you know what to expect and can plan accordingly.
