Branch Management Tree Service is a family-owned tree service in Beulah, North Dakota, run by Shane Haugen. It does tree removal, tree trimming, and wood and branch removal. The area it names is Oliver County, with Beulah as its base. Every job starts with a free consultation and estimate. Trees can get disease, take storm damage, grow too close to a building, or just get in the way, so the business helps you decide whether a tree should come down or be trimmed. It aims for "honest and professional services" with customer satisfaction in mind. Cleanup includes hauling away what is cut. The business holds an ISA Credential from the International Society of Arboriculture, a nationwide group that promotes the professional practice of arboriculture. It is licensed and insured, and it calls itself locally owned and operated. This business suits a Beulah-area or Oliver County landowner who needs trees around a home or yard taken down or trimmed, with the debris carried off afterward.

How much is my timber worth in Oliver 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 Oliver 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.
