Selling Timber in Saginaw County, MI

Thurston Logging and Tree Service is a family owned business based in St. Charles, Michigan, started in 2014 and run by owner Travis Thurston. It works both sides of the tree: logging and timber buying, plus general tree care such as removal, trimming, and emergency storm work. It covers Saginaw County, naming St. Charles, Chesaning, Hemlock, Burt, Saginaw, Midland, Merrill, Wheeler, Auburn, Oakley, Henderson, Bridgeport, Birch Run, Breckenridge, Carrollton, Brant, and Freeland. For standing timber, it buys walnut, white oak, red oak, hard maple, soft maple, cherry, and hickory. The process is plain: you describe your property and what trees you think you have, a crew comes out for a site visit, trees get looked at for species, trunk size, form, and how easy the ground is for equipment, and a direct bid usually follows the same visit or soon after, with no auction and no middlemen. If you accept, a harvest date is set around your schedule and ground conditions, and the crew handles all the cutting and hauling. On acreage, it says a five-acre parcel with a handful of large, healthy hardwoods is worth evaluating, so size alone doesn't rule a property out. It describes itself as paying "top dollar for your trees" and keeping the deal free of middlemen or an auction process. This fits a Saginaw County landowner with a modest woodlot of good hardwoods who wants one local contact to both look at standing timber and handle any tree work that comes with it.
