Here is a brief overview of our timber buying process:

  1. Contact us at (614) 336–9758 or via our online contact form to schedule a time for us to visit your property and assess the quantity, quality, and condition of your trees.
  2. After discussing your desires and goals for your wood stand, we will provide a comprehensive report of all findings, along with a no-hassle no-obligation proposal, and competitive estimate.

    We are especially interested in walnut and white oak, but other trees of value may include:

  • Cherry
  • Aspen
  • White cedar
  • Hard maple
  • Soft maple
  • Ash
  • Red oak
  • Among others!
  1. If you accept the estimate, First Choice Hardwoods will proceed with the agreed upon logging, taking care to minimally impact the land, reduce erosion, and leave things better and healthier than we found them.

We buy all our standing timber via a lump sum sale, which means we don’t touch a single tree until after we pay you in full, so you don’t have to wonder if you’ll ever see a profit.
