King Mesquite Sawmill & Lumber is a sawmill, lumber and furniture business in Tucson, Arizona, at 614 S. Cherry Avenue. They serve Pima County. They don't take trees down themselves, but if your tree is still standing they say to "call us for advice on how to maximize it's value before cutting it down," and they can point you to tree services for the felling. Once you have logs, they offer a "full milling service for any type of lumber," and though the name is King Mesquite, they say they can mill "any type of wood you may have." They can pick up logs at your location, with rates depending on distance, number of logs, volume, and accessibility, or you can bring the logs to their yard yourself. From there they'll mill to your specifications and turn wood into lumber, or into finished pieces like mantels, countertops, tables, desks and shelves, with planing, squaring, jointing, sanding, filling and finish work done in their own shop. Milling runs $100 per hour on the mill plus $50 per blade, with a one hour minimum. They take cash, check, Zelle, or card with a 4% processing fee, and ask for a 50% deposit on special orders. Their yard is open Tuesday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., with weekend visits by appointment. This fits a landowner in Pima County with a tree down or logs ready to go, who wants them milled into usable lumber or a custom piece rather than sold as standing timber.

How much is my timber worth in Pima County?
Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Pima County?
You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.
