We Buy Trees For Lumber Near You is the standing timber buying side of Beiler's Sawmill, an Amish-owned and operated lumber mill in Quarryville, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It buys standing timber and logs from landowners, and it also mills hardwood lumber and offers logging and forestry services. It has been in business for over 40 years. It wants hardwood: walnut, white oak, red oak, poplar, ash, maple and cherry. It does not buy pine, fir or other softwoods, dead trees, or trees that are already cut. The trees it looks for are generally mature, at least 50 years old and 12 inches or more across at chest height. Its main clients sell more than 50 trees, though it will consider fewer walnut or white oak. It pays a premium for those two species from within 100 miles of Lancaster County. A sale starts with a phone call or a form. A forestry team visits your woodlot, surveys the size and quality of the trees, and makes an offer. If you accept, its loggers cut and haul the trees off your land, and you are paid after the trees are hauled away. The process usually takes a few weeks from the first visit to payment. Its forestry work also includes timber management, horse/mule logging and vegetation management, with selective harvesting aimed at "long-term forest health." This suits a landowner with a stand of 50 or more mature hardwoods, especially walnut or white oak, within reach of Lancaster County, who would rather have a crew handle the cutting and hauling than manage it alone.

Questions landowners ask
How many independent loggers are there in New Jersey?

How do I choose between them?
Start local and get more than one. A business based in your county knows the mills and the ground; one registered for all one hundred counties may be three hours away. Every listing here shows how far its office is from the county you are looking at, so "will travel" is never mistaken for "is local".
