Bringing the Mill to You: How Our Traveling Sawmill Works

At T-Top Timber & Homestead Co., we believe in making the most of what the land provides—and that includes turning your own trees into usable lumber, right where they stand.

Our traveling sawmill service is designed for landowners, builders, homesteaders, and anyone looking to cut down on waste, cost, and hassle. Whether you're clearing a piece of property, building a new structure, or simply want to see your timber put to good use, our portable mill brings the power and precision of a full sawmill straight to your site.

🪵 How It Works

We bring our portable sawmill directly to your location. Once on-site, we set up the equipment, assess your logs, and begin milling on the spot.

Whether you're working with pine, oak, cedar, or something in between—we can turn your logs into:

• Dimensional lumber

• Beams and posts

• Slabs for tables or counters

• Custom-cut boards for fencing, siding, or framing

We handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on your project.

📍 Traveling & On-Site Milling Services Include:

• Setup and operation of the sawmill at your location

• Log assessment and cutting to your specifications

• Custom sizing, batching, and sorting

• Clean-up and stacking assistance

• Advice on curing, storing, and using your new lumber

  
  

💰 Pricing

We offer half-day ($600) and full-day ($1,200) sawmill services.A $75 transportation fee applies per one-way trip, and a $35 blade damage fee may be added if a blade becomes damaged during milling.
