Idapine Mills is a sawmill in Meridian, Idaho. It also does logging. The mill takes in timber harvested from private, public, and BLM land, and turns it into finished lumber. The work here is milling and wholesale lumber production rather than buying standing timber straight off a few acres. They cut Ponderosa Pine, Lodgepole Pine, Douglas Fir (both KDHT and ESLP), and White Fir, turning out a range of sizes and grades, from Select Struc down through Common grades, plus stud and web stock. Services include private labeling, bar coding, custom grading, custom packaging, and precision cut stud trims. Lumber moves out by rail on Union Pacific or by truck. The company describes itself as "Idaho Grown Family Owned," with the crew from woods contractors to millwrights made up of multi-generations of father and son teams, the Krogh family among them. It says it has been "Manufacturing Quality Forest Products for 3 Generations." Timber passes through the mill's own inspection stages as well as Idaho state regulations before it ships. The listed service area is Ada County, Idaho, with lumber sold more broadly across the Pacific Northwest. This fits a landowner, logger, or contractor already selling logs and looking for a mill to take delivery and produce graded, packaged lumber, rather than someone needing a forester to walk their woodlot and arrange a first-time standing timber sale.

Live Edge SlabsKiln Dried WoodSlab Flattening

Les Bois Milling is a sawmill in Boise, Idaho, serving Ada County. It mills trees that come down in the Boise area into live edge slabs, kiln dried wood, and offers slab flattening for customers who want a flat, ready-to-use board. The owner, Zane Everman, launched Les Bois Milling in the spring, working with community forestry programs, tree care professionals and the public so trees don't end up at the landfill. Species they've worked with include Silver Maple, Scots Pine, Russian Olive, Black Walnut, Ash, Oak, American Chestnut, Elm, Spruce and Sequoia. They say they "specialize in live edge slabs from trees collected and milled right here in the City of Trees," and keep things close to home: the farthest a tree has come from is Nampa. Once milled, wood goes into their own kiln to dry slowly, which they say prevents warping and cracking, and large slabs can be flattened on site. Their inventory app, AncesTREE, tracks where a given piece of wood came from, including the tree's age and moisture content. This fits a landowner near Boise or Nampa who has a single tree coming down on their property and wants it turned into slabs or lumber rather than hauled to the landfill, not someone selling standing timber off acreage.

Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers and foresters serve Ada County?

7 businesses are listed for Ada County: 0 consulting foresters and 7 buyers, loggers and mills. 6 of them have offices in the county.

How much is my timber worth in Ada 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 Ada 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.

What is timber worth in Ada County?

No price series is published for Ada County on its own. Idaho's latest published stumpage figures (Idaho State Tax Commission harvest values, 2026) put cedar at $741–$893 per thousand board feet. 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.
