Gilpatrick & Sons is a sawmill, logging outfit, and timber buyer in Richmond, Maine. They've been at it since 1973, starting out logging and selective cutting of wood lots in Central Maine, and adding the sawmill and propane side of things in 1985. If you've got a wood lot that needs thinning or a selective harvest, that's their main work alongside the milling. They cut and sell rough hemlock, pine (rough and finished), and cedar, so if your land has those species standing, they're set up to handle it. Their woodlot management and selective harvest services cover a 25 mile radius of Richmond, including Augusta, Bowdoin, Bowdoinham, Gardiner, Dresden, and Litchfield. They note they're "CPL Certified." There's no acreage minimum stated on their pages, so it's worth a call to Gilpatrick & Sons at 207-737-2090 to ask whether your particular lot fits what they take on. This one suits a landowner in or near Richmond, Maine who wants someone doing both the logging and the milling under one roof, especially if hemlock, pine, or cedar are what's growing on the property.

How much is my timber worth in Sagadahoc 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.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Sagadahoc 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.
