About Workman Forestry, LLC
Workman Forestry, LLC is a tree care and arborist consulting firm in Gainesville, Florida. Tom Workman, its owner and founder, started the business in 2010. Its main work is tree trimming, tree removal, and arborist advice. Its services also include timber sales, site prep and planting, prescribed burning, fire lines, mowing, mulching, boundary clearing, and permitting help. It serves residential, commercial, and government customers in Gainesville and surrounding areas, and it covers Alachua, Baker, Bay, Bradford, Brevard, Broward, Charlotte, Columbia, Gilchrist, Levy, Marion, Putnam, and Union counties. The staff holds ISA Certified Arborist, ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ), and Florida ISA Prescription Pruning Qualification credentials, and the firm lists a Florida Certified Burner credential. The arborist does tree inspections and formal risk assessments that give "a documented basis for decisions." She can also help owners with permitting requirements and with questions about who owns a tree. Live oaks get particular attention, and the firm advises pruning them every 3 to 5 years. Free estimates are offered, and the firm carries insurance. For removals, crews use bucket trucks or lightweight aerial lifts, lay ground protection mats to limit ruts in the yard, and chip the debris on site. Mulch delivery to the Gainesville area is also offered. Workman Forestry, LLC suits a landowner who wants a certified arborist to look at the trees on the property before any cutting decision is made, and who would like tree work and timber sales handled by the same firm.

Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise & Volume EstimateA field measurement of your standing trees — their species, sizes, and quality — that adds up to how much wood you actually have. Before you sell, so you go in knowing roughly what is out there rather than taking a buyer's word for it.What does this mean? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? → — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
