Santa Cruz Sustainable Sawmill

About Santa Cruz Sustainable Sawmill

Santa Cruz Sustainable Sawmill is a locally owned sawmill based in Santa Cruz, California. They've been at it over a decade, running mobile milling along with custom lumber and live-edge slabs. Their work covers custom lumber cut to dimension, on-site milling, surfacing and re-saw work, custom woodwork, and live-edge slabs. They cut from a variety of wood species, using wood that's fallen or sustainably harvested, "from our yard or yours." For standing timber they do what they call "select, non-invasive tree extrication using small scale harvesting methods with minimal impact to our native forestry," rather than a full harvest. They say they're fully insured and work with individual landowners as well as businesses, contractors, and designers. They serve Santa Cruz County, the greater Bay Area, and Monterey Bay, and they'll come to your property with mobile equipment rather than making you haul logs to a yard, though they also have a Westside Santa Cruz location if you want to see what they have in stock. This fits a landowner with a few trees down or a small selective cut who wants custom lumber or slabs out of their own wood, not someone looking to sell a whole stand of timber for harvest.
