About Dargan, King, and Knight LLC
Dargan, King, and Knight LLC is a forestry consulting firm based in Darlington, South Carolina. They work as timberland brokers too, handling both the timber and the land itself for owners who need one or the other, or both. Their work covers the full range: forest management plans and mapping, reforestation, timber stand improvement, timber appraisal, timber cruise and volume estimates, timber sale and contract administration, insect, disease and fire protection, prescribed burning, forest real estate, recreation management, forest taxation, utilization and marketing, wildlife management, and stewardship plans. On the timber side they've handled species like pine sawlogs, red oak, cherrybark oak, and cypress, and they also plant longleaf seedlings as part of reforestation work. They hold a N.C. Registered Forester license, #1561. They serve Anson, Bladen, Brunswick, Columbus, Hoke, Richmond, Robeson, and Scotland counties. There's no stated minimum acreage, but the smallest job shown on their pages is a tract called the O'Bryan Tract, listed at approximately 128 acres. That suggests their work tends toward larger tracts rather than small home lots. Their own words on a timber sale: they say they are "confident that we generate the most timber sale revenue possible for the landowner, while ensuring a quality logging job," and that the goal is for "each tree to reach its highest potential value market." This firm fits a landowner with a sizable tract, especially one who also wants help with the land itself, through sale, appraisal, or long-term management, not just a one-time timber cut.

Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? →
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise & Volume EstimateA field measurement of your standing trees — their species, sizes, and quality — that adds up to how much wood you actually have. Before you sell, so you go in knowing roughly what is out there rather than taking a buyer's word for it.What does this mean? →
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? →
runs the sale and handles the contract
