About Palmetto Pulpwood & Timber

Palmetto Pulpwood & Timber is a timber brokerage company in Florence, South Carolina. Its main trade is buying timber, and it also does logging, forestry consulting, and real estate. Local mills require landowners to sell through a brokerage, and as the company puts it, Palmetto Pulpwood is "the middle man between the mills and our landowners." It says its goal is to sell wood to the local mills at the highest price possible. The company offers forest land management, which means working out what the owner wants from the land, along with management plans for a nominal fee. Its thinning options include row thinning, operator select thinning, and residential thinning that leaves 10 to 15 trees per acre. It also does final harvesting for owners ready to cut their whole stand. Where the understory is heavy with sweet gums and Turkey oaks, it chips the small wood so the tract is clean for replanting. For swamps and wet low ground that a conventional crew cannot reach, it offers shovel logging. It also offers FSC certification of forest land. The company was formed in January 2001 by David G. Freeman and H. Kevin Davis. It is a member of the SC Timber Producers Association, the American Pulpwood Association, the SC Forestry Association, and the Society of American Foresters, and one of its buyers is a Registered Forester. A free timber estimate and evaluation of your land is available by calling (843) 669-1799. This suits a landowner who wants a broker to sell the wood and also wants help managing the land, or who has wet ground or heavy understory to deal with.
