Timber prices for Cullman County
No county publishes its own timber prices. These are Alabama's published stumpage prices, what landowners are paid for standing timber, and the best public guide to what timber in Cullman County is bringing. Your own timber can sell above or below them. Alabama publishes no free, maintained timber price series of its own, and Timber Mart-South's Alabama report is paid, so there is no Alabama-only figure to quote. The range above is not an Alabama number: it is the range a regional report gave for Tennessee, South Carolina and Alabama together in Q4 2025, and only for pine sawtimber. Treat it as a rough regional marker, not as your county's price.

Drennen Forestry Corporation is a timber buying and forestry firm based in Cullman, Alabama. It has provided a timber market and forestry services to Alabama landowners since 1982. Its market for standing timber covers 28 counties in North Alabama, North Mississippi, and Central Tennessee, and it buys both pine and hardwood. The firm's foresters and timber buyers work with you to tailor the contract terms to your goals for the land. It buys a minimum of 15 acres. You can take a lump sum with payment in advance, or sell by the unit and be paid as the timber is harvested. Its work includes clear cuts, improvement cuts, thinnings, residential cuts, and harvesting. "All contract specs are met or exceeded." Every harvest follows Alabama's Best Management Practices for Forestry, which protect soil and water. Its land management group is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, and some mill customers pay a premium for FSC certified wood. If the firm harvests your timber, it supplies seedlings and labor to replant at no charge to group members. Forest management planning, site preparation, tree planting, and invasive species control are also available to land management clients. This suits owners with at least 15 acres of pine or hardwood in the firm's buying area who want a contract shaped to their goals and a company that can help with the land after the cut.

Questions landowners ask
How many timber buyers and foresters serve Cullman County?
11 businesses are listed for Cullman County: 1 consulting forester and 10 buyers, loggers and mills. 9 of them have offices in the county.
How much is my timber worth in Cullman County?
Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Cullman County?
You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.
Do I need a forestry consultant? →Do I need a permit to cut timber in Alabama?
Alabama requires no state permit to harvest timber on your own land, but it does require a NOTICE, and the notice is state law rather than a county's own idea. Before timber is hauled out over county roads, the timber owner tells the county commission's regular office: four business days ahead where the harvest needs a new access point onto the road, two where it uses one that already exists. In exchange the statute closes the door on anything further — a county may not demand a second notice, a permit or licence, or a bond or other security as the price of using its roads. Separately, Alabama's forestry Best Management Practices are not a permit programme, but they are not merely advisory either: the Department of Environmental Management inspects forestry operations and will require BMPs where voluntary use falls short, because the water-quality law behind them is enforceable.
Permit rules in Alabama →What is timber worth in Cullman County?
No price series is published for Cullman County on its own. Alabama's latest published stumpage figures (Southern Ag Today (from Timber Mart-South), Q4 2025) put pine sawtimber at $17–$21 per ton. What your own timber brings depends on the species, the size and amount of it, and how far it is from a mill. A timber cruise by a forester settles it.
