Introduction
If you’ve never sold timber before, the process can feel overwhelming. What’s my land worth? How do I know who to trust? Will the logging crew tear up my property?
At Sprinkle Logging, we’ve helped landowners of all ages navigate the process for the first time — and we’re here to walk you through it. In this guide, you’ll learn exactly what to expect and how to protect your land while getting paid fairly for your trees.

Step 1: Free Timber Evaluation
Every project begins with a no-obligation walkthrough of your land.
- We identify tree species, assess size and volume, and check overall timber quality.
- We inspect terrain and access paths to determine the best equipment.
- We answer all your questions face-to-face.
You’ll receive a fair-market quote based on your specific timber — not a generic estimate.
✅ There’s no cost and no commitment to move forward.
Step 2: Clear Agreement
Once you approve the quote, we sign a written agreement covering:
- What trees will be harvested (selective or customized cut to your needs)
- When the work will take place
- Where our team will access the land
- Payment details and timeline
This protects both parties. You’ll know exactly what to expect — and we won’t cut a single tree without your approval.
Step 3: Clean, Professional Harvesting
With the agreement in place, our team brings in the equipment and gets to work.
- Skidders, loaders, and trucks are used by trained operators
- Only agreed upon trees are removed
- Your driveways, fences, and other structures are protected
- We avoid unnecessary damage and clean up after ourselves
Most jobs take anywhere froma few days to a few weeks, depending on the size of the land and weather conditions.
✅ Step 4: You Get Paid
We provideweekly payments throughout the project, so you’re not waiting until everything is finished.
- You’ll receiveclear, written receipts for everything we harvest
- No hidden deductions or surprise fees
- We keep it simple, transparent, and respectful — you get paid as we go, and we make sure you're always in the loop.
