Timber Buyers

Grant Cedar Mill is a sawmill in Gordonsville, Tennessee, on Highway 141 twelve miles east of Lebanon. It buys Eastern Red Cedar logs and standing timber, and it is "always in need of cedar logs" to keep the mill running. This isn't a logging outfit that comes to your land. All purchasing happens at the mill, and they don't cut or haul logs themselves, so you'd need to get your cedar logs there. Logs have to be trimmed clean of limbs, at least 4 inches on the top end, and cut to either 8 foot or 16 foot lengths, no more or less than 4 inches over. Logs with rot, that are too crooked, or that come out of yards or fence rows won't be bought as saw logs. The mill buys by weight or by the International Cedar Scale measure, and it covers Smith County. Richard and Leslie Smith, Jerrell Smith, and Gerald Kelley own and run it. The business "was started over twenty years ago with little more than one contract and a prayer" and now ships lumber across the eastern half of the United States, plus exports internationally, while still producing over 10,000 board feet of wholesale lumber a day. They also sell retail cedar products straight to the public. This fits a landowner with cedar logs already down or standing timber they're ready to cut themselves and haul to the mill, not someone looking for a crew to come fell and remove trees for them.

Greg Hooper Logging is a timber buying, logging, and forestry consulting business based in Jackson, Tennessee. Greg buys timber and timberland, logs hardwood and pine of all sizes and grades, and also works as a forestry consultant. He takes on hardwood and pine jobs with a stated minimum tract size of 10 acres. When he buys timber, he can meet with you in person or evaluate the timber himself at no charge, and he gives landowners different payment options: paid in full before harvesting starts, or a percentage of the sale. He says he "purchases on a paid price in full before harvesting begins or on a percentage of the sale basis." Greg Hooper Logging carries workers compensation and general liability insurance, and all equipment is insured too. Greg is a Master Logger through the Tennessee Forestry Association. The business serves Madison County and describes its area as "serving all of West TN and surrounding areas." Greg started working for his father's logging company in 1985 and founded his own business in 1991, so he's been running it for decades. The work includes timber buying, timber marketing, logging services, and forest management, with attention to environmentally sensitive harvesting techniques. This fits a landowner with at least 10 acres of hardwood or pine in West Tennessee who wants a single business to handle buying, logging, and marketing the timber together, rather than hiring separate people for each step.

Andy Norris Logging LLC is a timber buying and logging business in Bells, Tennessee. They buy standing timber and work throughout West Tennessee. Andy Norris Logging LLC's name has been on the business since 1992, and the Norris family has been in timber in the area since the 1850s, "a family legacy of five generations." They describe themselves among the "timber dealers in the marketplace," which they say gives them an edge on price. If you reach out, the process starts simple: they come out to survey your property and tell you the cash potential of your standing timber before anything moves forward. No tree species or tract size are named, so landowners with any size or type of woodlot in their area may want to just call and ask. This fits a West Tennessee landowner who wants to deal with a family name that's been doing this a long time, and who wants a straightforward call and survey before any commitment.

Stephens Hardwood, LLC runs a sawmill in Huntsville, Tennessee, at 146 Straight Fork Church Rd. They buy logs and mill them into rough cut graded lumber, and they also run a stave mill in Pine Knot, KY, making white oak staves and headings for the bourbon industry. For logs, they're currently buying White Oak, Poplar, Hard Maple, Soft Maple, Chestnut Oak, Red Oak, Cherry, Hickory, Basswood, and Ash. They serve Scott County. The sawmill side traces back to 2013, when Stephens Hardwood purchased Strunk Bros. Inc., a mill that had already been running for 30-plus years. In 2018 they built a new mill at the current Huntsville site, and they say it's a "state of the art saw mill." They also note they have their "own trucking fleet to ensure prompt deliveries," though customers can arrange their own pickup instead. Some of their crew have been on the job 20-plus years. This listing doesn't give a stated minimum acreage for timber sales. This is a mill and log buyer, not a service built around walking small private tracts, so landowners with a handful of acres of mixed hardwood species on the land may want to ask directly whether a small sale is worth their time before assuming it fits. This suits someone with oak, maple, poplar, cherry, hickory, basswood, or ash to sell as logs, especially in or near Scott County, rather than someone wanting a forester to walk the whole property first.

Tennessee Land & Timber Buyers buys standing hardwood timber directly from landowners, based out of Jackson, Tennessee. They serve Hardeman County, with a wider reach across Western and Middle Tennessee as well as parts of Northern Mississippi, Northern Alabama, Eastern Arkansas, Southeastern Missouri, and Southwestern Kentucky. Their focus is hardwoods: oak, hickory, maple, walnut, cypress, ash, poplar, cherry, and sweet gum. They do not buy pine. Work includes buying standing timber outright and timber appraisal, with offers described as "We'll Buy Your Vacant Land & Standing Timber Fast, For Cash." The process starts with a short form about your property, then they review county data and comparable sales before sending an offer, usually within 48 hours. If you accept, you sign a simple purchase agreement and get paid, with no fees, commissions, or closing costs taken out. For timber purchases specifically, they typically ask for a 10 acre minimum, though they say they may consider smaller tracts if the timber quality is good. Payment can come as an upfront price once the timber is harvested, or as a share of the proceeds from the sale. This fits a landowner who wants a straightforward cash offer on standing hardwood without listing the property or handling the sale themselves.

Vanleer Hardwoods Inc is based in Vanleer, Tennessee. They work as a sawmill, buy timber, and offer forestry consulting, and they serve Dickson County. The sawmill itself is temporarily closed right now, but the timber buying and consulting side still runs. Their main offer is timberland cruising and estimates. They ask landowners, "Do you own 50 or more acres of property with 40%+ timberland?" and if your land fits that, they'll look at what your timber may be worth and how it's priced, then put together options for your goals. So the minimum here is plain and stated: 50 acres, with at least 40 percent of that in timberland. This one suits a landowner with a larger tract, 50 acres or more and mostly wooded, who wants a straight read on value and pricing options before deciding anything, rather than someone with a smaller few-acre parcel.
