Longmont, CO

United Wood Products, Inc. is a sawmill in Longmont, Colorado. They serve Boulder County. They are a mill that manufactures wood materials rather than a logging or buying outfit, so this is a place to think about if you want logs turned into usable wood rather than someone to come harvest your trees. Their product list includes aspen logs, along with firewood, rough lumber, log rail systems, rounds, poles, posts, fencing, bedding and mulch, and tongue and groove stock. They say plainly, "we are unable to list the pricing since raw material supplies and freight are not consistent," so you would need to call or email with a take off list to get a quote. If you want something delivered, they ask that you "provide your address and tell us if it is going to a business, residence or jobsite." There is no stated minimum tract size, so it is not clear how small a job they would take on. This fits a landowner who already has logs or timber and wants them milled into lumber, rails, posts, firewood, or similar products, not someone looking for help getting trees harvested in the first place.

Custom Wood MillingKiln DryingFlattening, Planing, and SandingStraight-Line Ripping and Glue-UpsEpoxy Planing & Sanding

Urban Forest Mill is a sawmill in Longmont, Colorado. They take logs from trees that come down, often because of development, age, or disease, and mill them into lumber and slabs for builders, designers, and woodworkers along Colorado's Front Range. The work they take on includes custom wood milling, kiln drying, flattening, planing, and sanding, straight-line ripping and glue-ups, and epoxy planing and sanding. They work in live edge slabs as well as lumber and slabs more generally. In their own words, "we take trees from our community or from individuals and turn them into beautiful lumber and slabs so they can be preserved for decades to come." They also note that "even the most beautiful piece of wood has to be truly dry and flat before it can be transformed into your vision," which is the thinking behind their kiln drying and flattening steps. They serve Boulder County. This fits a landowner in Boulder County who has one or a few urban or yard trees coming down, not a woodlot or acreage of standing timber, and who wants those logs turned into usable lumber or slabs rather than chipped or hauled off.

Custom Milling

JKC Woods, LLC is a sawmill in Longmont, Colorado that does custom milling for landowners in Boulder County. This is a mill business, not a timber buyer, so they work with logs you already have down rather than buying or harvesting standing timber. They mill Siberian Elm and Black Walnut, and the custom milling rate is $100 per hour, plus $15 each time the saw hits metal in a log. They say that works out to about $1 per board foot when sawing four quarter boards. They lay out a process for getting logs ready for them: fell the tree one day, buck and seal the logs the next, then mill on the third, though they note good results from logs milled more than two years after cutting. They describe themselves as wanting to be an "affordable, customer service oriented, milling option" for Boulder County. This fits a landowner who already has logs on the ground, maybe from clearing a lot or storm damage, and wants someone local in Boulder County to turn Elm or Walnut into usable lumber rather than someone to deal with standing timber.

How much is my timber worth in Boulder 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.

Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Boulder 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.
