About Carlson Land Services,Inc.
Carlson Land Services,Inc. is a consulting forestry and land brokerage firm in Montgomery, Alabama. It has worked in central and south Alabama since 1986 and has three registered foresters on staff. Its main trade is real estate, with consulting forestry alongside it. To sell timber, the firm starts with a timber inventory, a cruise that measures the trees on your land. In a lump-sum sale, it marks the timber or the boundaries, sends a bid prospectus to area timber buyers, and accepts the highest bid above the minimum recommended in the inventory. The sale usually closes within 4 weeks of the bid opening, and you receive full payment before the timber is cut. In a per-unit sale, buyers bid on each product and you are paid as the trucks are weighed at the mill. The firm says it works for "the landowner, not the timber company," and it inspects the harvest until all the timber is cut. The services list also covers prescribed burning, herbicide work by air or ground, site preparation, hand or machine tree planting, timber stand improvement, insect and disease detection, boundary line work, mowing and mulching, and hazard fuel reduction near homes. Consulting covers management decisions, financial planning, and expert witness work on timber theft and boundary lines. It also offers estate appraisals and land divisions for the next generation. This suits a landowner who wants a bid-based timber sale run by foresters, or who needs estate and land planning alongside the timber. From carlsonlandservices.com, read 17 October 2026.
