Do you have trees on your property that you want to use for flooring, building materials or other projects but not sure how the process works?

Are you wondering if it’s even cost effective to utilize your own trees for lumber? I have the solutions you’re looking for.
WHAT WE DO
Mobile Saw Milling
We bring our saw mill to your site, mill your logs into the dimensions you specify, and stack the lumber for optimal air drying. Chris will advise you on estimated time your lumber will be ready for use or to transport to the dry kiln.
Land Management
We provide selective tree cutting, lot clearing and debris clean up. We cut trails in forested areas for hunting or recreation. We also can transport materials like gravel, mulch or rock either from the supplier to your location or from your location to another location.
Consulting
Have a project in mind whether it’s saw mill or land management related and want to know how much a project will cost or if it’s financially beneficial? Book a consultation. Chris can give you an estimate.
HOW OUR MILLING PROCESS WORKS
We Bring Our Mill to Your Site
After you hire us and we secure a deposit, we schedule a day to start milling. Chris and his team brings the saw mill to your site, sets up and produces lumber per your specifications (dimensions, quarter-sawn, live-edge etc).
In North Carolina, our mobile saw mill services the Charlotte, Fort Mill, Asheville, Morganton areas plus all areas in between. In South Carolina, we service the Landrum, Spartanburg, Greenville, Simpsonville and areas in between. If you would like to bring your logs to our location, please call. We do this by appointment only.

Save Hours in Research Time and Avoid Costly Mistakes with a Consultation
My 28+ years experience in the home construction, woodworking and sawmill industries gives me the unique expertise to help landowners like you utilize trees from your property to build or update your home.
By investing in an on-site consultation, you save hours researching what type of trees you have or what they can be used for. You avoid the expense of keeping trees that yield little to no useable lumber or -worse-lose money by paying a tree company to haul off your most valuable logs (which they profit from by selling to a sawmill). I provide valuable insights on the type of trees you have, what they’re best used for and how to get the most bang for your buck. I walk you through the process from start to finish so you know exactly what steps to take when.
