Timber prices for Pike 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 Pike 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.

These 2 foresters have offices right here in Pike County. A forester works for you, not for the buyer.
Deloney & Gandy Timber Inc is a timber buying business based in Troy, Alabama. Buying timber is its main trade. It also runs a logging operation and offers forestry consulting, with thinning, final harvest, forestland management and harvest services. The business has operated since 2014. Its service area is Central and South Alabama. Its pages describe work from Talladega to Baldwin and from Wilcox to Russell, and Pike County is among the counties it serves. One of its foresters is a registered forester with the Alabama State Board of Foresters. The company belongs to the Alabama Forestry Foundation and states a mission of being fair to everyone it deals with. The buyers evaluate the land and the wood, then suggest a course of action, with "no pressure to sell." When a landowner decides to sell, the buyer writes a sales contract with flexible timing for the harvest. Price depends on market trends, distance to mills, wood type, age and quality. During the cut, a buyer watches the feller-buncher operator along property lines, and dozers and motor graders build roads and loading decks. A final inspection closes the job, to confirm the contract terms are met and the landowner is satisfied. This suits a landowner in Central or South Alabama who wants a buyer to look over the timber and leave the harvest choice to the owner. From deloneygandytimber.com, read 17 October 2026.

Questions landowners ask
How many timber buyers and foresters serve Pike County?
10 businesses are listed for Pike County: 2 consulting foresters and 8 buyers, loggers and mills. 9 of them have offices in the county.
How much is my timber worth in Pike 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 Pike 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 Pike County?
No price series is published for Pike 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.
