Testimonials

“I couldn’t be happier with the job that they did. I’ve had 200 acres in my family for years and Dustin came out and made me feel comfortable through the whole process and was constantly in communication with me from beginning to end.” -Bryan Kish

“it almost defies belief what a fantastic job he did of clean-cutting the fields. I don’t know how much extra time, energy, wear and tear it took for the work he did but it is light-years beyond anything I have seen done before.” -Michael Jeffcoat

“Southern Pines Land and Timber did a fantastic job. I am located in Georgia and have no knowledge about the timber management business. I was contacted by Ben Whittenton about the timber on our family’s property. His communication and guidance through the process was amazing. I was happy with the amount received and I will definitely be using Southern Timber again.” -John Clark

“These guys really know what they're doing. I used Southern Pines & Timber to harvest some land and I was amazed with how clean they left the property. Communication skills were also top notch. I will definitely be using them again!” -Peyton Reeves

“I had 200 acres harvested by this company. This was a stressful time for me and they made the process simple. NO DOUBT these guys are experts at what they do.” -Jesse Halenkamp

Clearcuts

A method of regenerating a forest where all or most mature timber is harvested from a stand with a management plan in place to regenerate. This creates an even-aged stand with natural or artificially regenerated trees to the landowners specifications.

1st Thinning

Thinnings, in addition to being an income producing venture for the landowner, are designed to improve the health and value of existing timber stands. Without thinnings, defective trees and genetically inferior trees will die off naturally. The 1st thinning allows the landowner to capitalize on this natural thinning process and accelerate remaining tree growth and quality. 1st thinnings usually take place when the stand reaches 12-15 years in maturity.

2nd Thinning

The 2nd, and likely last thinning a property needs before a harvest occurs is 5-7 years after the 1st thinning. This final thin allows only the highest grade trees to remain in your stand, creating peak stand conditions and ensuring a profitable harvest.

Reforestation - Year 1

This is a tract one full year after reforestation. After your timber harvest, we encourage you to replant your timberlands. This reduces soil erosion, reduces your carbon footprint, increases the amount of nutrients in your soil, and generates more profit long term.
