This forester has an office right here in Yamhill County. A forester works for you, not for the buyer.
A-1 Logging Inc is a logging contractor in Yamhill, Oregon. Larry Heesacker started the business back in 1985 with a chainsaw and a pick-up truck, and his family still runs it today. They handle complete logging jobs, thinning, clear-cutting, land clearing and leveling, road building, and reforestation after a harvest. They work in timber, logs, and pulp, and they say they have "close relationships with mills all over the region" to help find buyers for your logs, plus export contacts for straight logs and connections to pulp mills if your timber is lower grade. Larry holds a Master Woodland Management certification, earned in 2002. There's no stated minimum acreage, but one landowner they worked with describes a 5 acre lot that needed thinning and a home site cleared, so small jobs are something they've done. They also say they can clear-cut hundreds of acres, so the range runs wide. They're based in Yamhill and list Yamhill County as their service area, within the Pacific Northwest more broadly. This fits a Yamhill County landowner with a small lot needing thinning or a house site cleared, as much as one with a large stand ready for a full harvest. From a1logging.com, read 4 October 2026.

Lowes Resaw & Specialty Cuts Llc is a mill in Dayton, Oregon. It has a Google Maps business listing in that category. A listing here is not an endorsement.
Monroe Oak Inc is a sawmill in Sheridan, Oregon, serving Yamhill County. It works only in Oregon White Oak, cutting that one species into products for industry rather than buying standing timber from a landowner. The work itself is specific: oak cribbing, dunnage, wedges, keel blocks, equipment trailer and lowboy decking, and kiln drying. It started in 1979 when the founder took a leave from teaching and bought a small Bellsaw sawmill to cut oak cribbing for moving new semi-truck tractors to dealerships, after growing frustrated with oak being treated as a "garbage" species. The business has been "providing Custom Oak Products to Industry" ever since, and today is run by the founder's sons. Kiln dried oak boards are also produced, mainly for flooring, cabinetry, and furniture, though these are limited since demand tends to outstrip supply. There's no stated minimum acreage, and no acreage-based jobs shown to infer one from either, since this isn't a timber-buying operation built around landowner sales. This fits a landowner who has Oregon White Oak on their property and wants to know where that wood might end up as cribbing, dunnage, or kiln dried boards, not someone looking for a standing timber sale or a logging crew.

Maverick Sawmill Services is a father son (and dog) team in Newberg, Oregon, serving Yamhill County. Its milling is done at a Sherwood location, where it can mill logs from 4 to 108 inches in diameter. It works with black walnut, which it specializes in, and with a variety of other species, and it turns logs into live edge slabs. Beyond milling, it dries wood in a vacuum kiln, which it says dries wood 5 to 10 times faster. It also surfaces boards and preps projects, and it builds handcrafted furniture, especially live edge dining tables. It sells finished slabs and ships them. If you have a dying or problem tree, it will bring licensed tree specialists and equipment to drop and remove it from your property. It is not a timber buyer or a logger for landowners, so it will not buy your standing timber or log your woods. It suits a landowner with a black walnut tree that is dying or down, who wants it made into slabs, lumber or a table rather than sold as standing timber. It is a good fit for the owner who wants the tree taken down and worked up in one place. From mavericksawmill.com, read 4 October 2026.
Questions landowners ask
How many timber buyers and foresters serve Yamhill County?
9 businesses are listed for Yamhill County: 1 consulting forester and 8 buyers, loggers and mills. 5 of them have offices in the county.
How much is my timber worth in Yamhill 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 Yamhill 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.
Do I need a forestry consultant? →What is timber worth in Yamhill County?
