Roswell, GA

Fall Line Forestry LLC is a forestry consulting and timberland management firm in Roswell, Georgia. It has served southeastern forest landowners since 1986. Consulting is its main trade, and it also buys timber. It names Atlanta metro and North Georgia forestry as its specialty and lists Fulton as its county served. It also says it works in other southeastern states, including Alabama, Florida and Virginia. The firm works with pine and hardwood, including loblolly and longleaf pine. Its services run from timber appraisals and cruising to forest management plans, selective timber marking, prescribed burning, tree planting and hunting leases. It lists Registered Foresters in Georgia and Alabama among its credentials, plus licensed real estate brokers for timberland sales and purchases. It sums up its work as "From Seedling to Sawmill, We Can Do It All." On a timber sale, the firm measures and values the timber first. It then writes out the harvest terms, such as whether trucks may cross fields in wet weather, whether buyers can build roads, cleanup, how long the cut may take and who pays for damage. It takes sealed, lump-sum bids from as many buyers as it can reach, so an owner can be paid in full before any trees are cut. A written contract closes the sale, and the firm supervises the harvest from start to finish. One job it describes is a selective harvest it prepared and supervised on a 905 acre property north of Atlanta, owned by an investment group. It suits a landowner in north Georgia who wants the timber valued and bid out, with one forester running the sale through to the last load. From fallineforestry.com, read 4 October 2026.

Atlanta, GA

Atlanta Wood Foundation is a sawmill in Atlanta, Georgia, run as a nonprofit. It exists to "save trees from the landfill" and reduce urban waste, so much of its work is salvaging trees from town. The warehouse is at 1081 Memorial Drive SE, Atlanta, GA 30316. It is open to the public Thursday from 9:30 to 2, and Friday through Sunday from 9 to 2. The mill works with black walnut, Siberian elm and water oak, and its listing also includes yellow pine and hardwoods. A Wood-Mizer mill takes logs up to 36 inches across at $135 an hour plus $50 per blade. A Lucas Mill takes logs up to 72 inches, and that price is quoted for each job. Logs must be brought to the warehouse because the mill does not travel. There is no kiln drying. The shop also does CNC surfacing at $15 per square foot, planer surfacing at $10 per square foot, and custom woodworking such as mantles, tables and shelves. Finished slabs are sold through the online store and picked up at the warehouse. Fulton County is the county it serves. This suits a landowner in Fulton County with urban trees who would rather see the wood milled and used than hauled to the dump, and who can bring the logs in personally.

Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers and foresters serve Fulton County?

6 businesses are listed for Fulton County: 3 consulting foresters and 3 buyers, loggers and mills. 4 of them have offices in the county.

How much is my timber worth in Fulton 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. University of Georgia Extension publishes an annual timber situation and outlook report with recent quarterly figures, which tells you what the market is doing, not what your tract holds. 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 Fulton 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 permit to cut timber in Georgia?

Georgia has no statewide permit for cutting timber on your own land, and state law forbids a county to require one or to charge a fee for a timber harvest notification. What a county may require is the notification itself: where its ordinance calls for one, the harvester files it before entering the property if possible and no later than 24 hours after entering, and the county may ask for a bond of up to $5,000 against damage to its roads. Not every county has an ordinance, so check with yours before work starts. Georgia's Best Management Practices are not a permit programme, but following them is how a harvest stays clear of the water-quality law that is enforceable.

What is timber worth in Fulton County?

No price series is published for Fulton County on its own. Georgia's latest published stumpage figures (University of Georgia Extension, Q3 2025) put mixed hardwood sawtimber at $26–$32 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.
