Kentucky Timber Buyers

About Kentucky Timber Buyers

Kentucky Timber Buyers, based in Flemingsburg, Kentucky, buys standing hardwood timber for its own sawmill. They are not brokers or middlemen, which they say lets them pay top dollar for your trees. They handle timber evaluations, price proposals, select cutting, and clear cutting on request. The species they buy is hardwood timber, specifically marketable sized trees. Their process is straightforward: half the agreed value is paid when you sign on to sell, and the other half before the first tree comes down, so landowners aren't left waiting on payment after the trees are already gone. Their loggers are Amish, and the business describes them as caring about natural habitat and wildlife. The crews are insured and Licensed Master Loggers in the State of Kentucky. They've been buying timber for over 20 years. Rather than a stated acreage minimum, their cutoff is set in trees and size: they look to buy "40 trees or more" that measure at least 18 inches across at the base, and they note plainly that they can't help with small quantities on residential lots. So this isn't the outfit for a handful of trees in a yard, but for a real stand of mature hardwood. They serve Fleming County along with a run of other Kentucky counties: Bath, Bourbon, Bracken, Campbell, Clark, Fayette, Grant, Harrison, Kenton, Mason, Montgomery, Nicholas, Pendleton, Robertson, and Scott. This fits a landowner with a sizeable stand of mature hardwood who wants a direct buyer, not a broker, and who values getting paid before the cutting starts rather than after.
