Timber Works is currently paying some of the highest prices we have ever paid for standing Ash tree standing value timber!
Ash in Diminishing Supply
You may or may not know this: The Ash population in North America is in drastic decline. An invasive insect, the Emerald Ash Borer, is to blame.
Standing Ash Prices on the Rise
Similarly, this Asian bug overwinters in the cambium of all North American ash trees. Consequently, the borer tunnels into the tree’s cambium layer, which cuts off the flow of water and nutrients between the roots and canopy.

In the same way, Ohio’s Ash population has been hit hard. Many stands in Northern and Central Ohio, for instance, have seen complete die-offs in recent years, making this situation particularly tragic. However, timber owners now have a unique opportunity. They can sell their standing Ash at prices much higher than historic averages—even after the trees have died.
Act Fast to Get the Most from Your Trees
If your trees are still producing leaves, their value likely hasn’t been significantly affected. Once the canopy dies completely, decay begins. Salvaging commercial value from dead Ash trees then becomes a race against time.
Removing ash trees from your woods offers several benefits. First, you can gain financial value by selling the trees before they deteriorate too much. Furthermore, clearing dead ash trees improves safety by preventing falling limbs and debris, which could otherwise harm landowners, pets, and visitors. Therefore, taking action to remove these trees is essential not only for ecological reasons but also for public safety. Removing these unsightly trees also creates space. Other species can grow and fill the gaps left by the Ash die-off.

We are selling ash trees and are interested in the prices
I have an ash tree that is down possibly 20in round and 40 feet long firewood or is it good for logs????
Typically we don’t buy individual trees. It’s just too expensive to bring our equipment and extract it.
