About Hayes Land Services, LLC
Hayes Land Services, LLC is based in Edmond, Oklahoma, and works with landowners across Oklahoma and neighboring states. This isn't a logging outfit buying your timber. It's a consulting business built around land management, wildlife habitat, and wildfire work, led by someone with a background in forestry, wildlife habitat management, and wildland fire. The work covers land management plans, wildlife habitat consulting, prescribed burns, habitat management, and hunting property consulting, plus wildfire mitigation. On the wildlife side they talk about deer and turkeys, and about pushing back eastern redcedar where it's taken over. If you hire them for a hunting property consultation, the process runs in steps: they evaluate your vegetation, timber structure, water, access, and what's limiting your deer and turkey habitat, then lay out what's holding the property back, then hand you prioritized, practical recommendations you can actually afford to carry out. They describe their approach as "practical, science-based recommendations" built on local knowledge of Oklahoma land, and say the aim is to "make the land healthier, more productive, and more enjoyable to own and manage." They work with new owners who don't know where to start, families on land passed down for generations, and rural owners worried about wildfire risk. This fits a landowner who wants a management plan or a second opinion on habitat and wildfire risk, not someone looking for a buyer to cut and haul timber off the property.

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? → — not listed
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? → — not listed
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? → — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
