Timber Harvesting
At Littleton Storm and Timber, we specialize in professional timber harvesting throughout Central Illinois and surrounding areas, depending on the value and scale of the project. Our team is committed to maximizing the value of your timber while following responsible forestry practices that ensure long-term forest health and sustainability.
Step 1: Call Us for a Timber Evaluation
The process begins when you reach out to us for an evaluation of your standing timber. Whether you own a small private woodland or a large tract of timber, we are happy to assess your trees and provide a fair and competitive quote based on current market values.
Step 2: On-Site Timber Assessment & Quote
Once we schedule a visit, our experienced foresters will walk your property and assess the species, quality, and quantity of your timber. While we purchase a variety of hardwood species, we prioritize high-value trees like:
- Black Walnut – The most valuable hardwood, highly sought after for its rich color and durability.
- White Oak – The second most valuable species, commonly used in barrels, flooring, and furniture.
- Other species such as Red Oak, Black Oak, Maple, Hickory, Hackberry, Cherry, and Ash are also valuable and considered for purchase.
After the evaluation, we provide a straightforward, no-obligation quote based on the estimated value of your timber.
Step 3: Fair Payment for Your Timber
If you decide to move forward, we pay you upfront for the agreed-upon price of your standing timber. Our pricing is based on timber quality, market demand, and accessibility of your trees. You get immediate payment with no hidden fees or surprises.
Step 4: Professional Logging & Harvesting
Once the deal is finalized, we begin the logging process using advanced equipment and skilled crews. We prioritize:
- Selective Harvesting – Removing only the agreed-upon trees to maintain forest health and future growth.
- Minimal Land Impact – Using proper techniques to reduce soil disturbance and protect surrounding vegetation.
- Efficient & Safe Operations – Our team follows industry safety standards to ensure a smooth and responsible harvest.
Step 5: Cleanup & Landowner Satisfaction
After harvesting, we ensure your property is left in good condition, with minimal disruption to the land. Our team clears away excess debris and ensures roads and access points remain usable.
