Whether you’ve owned your land for years or just acquired wooded acreage, understanding the potential value of your timber can open the door to significant income. In this guide, we’ll explain how timber value is calculated, what factors affect it, and how Sprinkle Logging helps you get paid — fairly and quickly.

What Affects the Value of Timber?

Not all trees — or properties — are created equal. Timber value depends on a combination of tree quality, species, location, and timing. Here are the main factors we consider:

1. Tree Species
Different types of wood have different market values. High-value species include:

  • White & Red Oak – High-demand hardwoods
  • Walnut – One of the most valuable timbers
  • Pine – Fast-growing and highly useful for structural lumber
  • Hickory, Cherry, Ash – All bring strong prices when in good condition

2. Tree Size and Quality
The larger and straighter the tree, the more it’s worth. A single large oak may bring in more than several smaller trees of lesser quality.

3. Quantity
The more marketable timber you have, the better the payout. We often work with properties ranging from a few acres to over 100.

4. Market Demand
Timber prices fluctuate with supply and demand. Fortunately, species like oak and other hardwoods are always in steady demand in Arkansas and the surrounding region.



How Sprinkle Logging Determines Value

At Sprinkle Logging, we don’t guess — we walk your property in person. During your free timber evaluation, we:

  • Identify species, estimate volumes, and check quality
  • Walk key areas and look at stand health
  • Note equipment access and terrain conditions
  • Give you a clear, no-pressure offer based on real market pricing

This entire process is free, with no obligation to sell.



💰 What Kind of Payout Can I Expect?

Every property is different — the value depends on factors like tree type, size, volume, and accessibility.

Instead of guessing, the best way to find out what your timber might be worth is to schedule a free assessment. We’ll walk the land with you, explain the process, and give you a clear idea of what you could earn — with no pressure or obligation.
