About Dargan, King, and Knight, LLC
Dargan, King, and Knight, LLC is a forestry consulting firm in Darlington, South Carolina, with its office on Cashua Street. It takes on timber sales and appraisals, reforestation, herbicide application, road and ditch building, prescribed burning, and wildlife management. It also handles endangered species work, forest certification, carbon sequestration, conservation easements, taxation, pine straw sales, and real estate sales and divisions. Its members have served as expert witnesses in court. The firm says it generates the most timber sale revenue possible for the landowner while ensuring a quality logging job. Its goal is for "each tree to reach its highest potential value market." Buyers accept its pole marking, so poles can be sold even when a sale area has very few. The species it names include pine sawlogs, red oak, cherrybark oak, and cypress. The smallest job its pages show is about 128 acres, the O'Bryan Tract near Florence, which was offered as a land sale. That comes from the smallest job shown, not from a stated minimum. The firm lists 26 counties, including Darlington, Florence, Dillon, Horry, Charleston, and Aiken. Tim Dargan is a South Carolina Registered Forester, licensed real estate broker, and certified prescribed fire manager. Tracy Knight is a registered forester in South and North Carolina. Charlie King and Tracy Knight are licensed commercial chemical applicators in both states. It suits a landowner with pine or hardwood timber who wants help with the sale, or who is also weighing a land sale, a conservation easement, or longleaf work.
