Property ownership is both a privilege and obligation. Good stewardship of the land will result in better appeal to the landowner and higher returns for future generations. William H. Lock & Associates, Inc. offers several services that enhance and maintain the value and appeal of the property.

Annual inspections of your property can prove valuable, especially if you are an absentee landowner. We will walk your property lines and inspect for neighbor encroachments. A brief inspection of the various timber stands will be conducted to note any problems. Storm damage, such as ice and/or wind, can destroy the value of an existing stand and also create an environment for insect and disease damage. Southern Pine Beetle outbreaks have been noticed in some areas in the past several years and should be monitored. Quick salvage of damaged and/or dying timber can improve the health and overall vigor of the remaining trees. Contact William H. Lock & Associates, Inc. at (336) 632-9088 or whlock@whlock.com for a free estimate on conducting an annual inspection for your property.

Boundary line maintenance is a simple step that can prevent many problems. Once your property lines have been established by a licensed surveyor, our crews can paint the boundary lines with a high grade boundary paint that should last for 3-5 years. Then, on this same 5 year cycle, the lines can be maintained for future management practices. The painted lines help show the exact location of your boundaries and help to prevent timber trespass and encroachment from neighboring landowners. Contact William H. Lock & Associates, Inc. at (336) 632-9088 or whlock@whlock.com for a free estimate on painting your property lines.
