Johnson Hardwood & Tree Care
About Johnson Hardwood & Tree Care
Johnson Hardwood & Tree Care runs a sawmill and woodshop just outside Albert City, Iowa, in Buena Vista County. Chris Johnson operates it, with one employee and his wife helping out with the business side. The work here centers on milling: custom sawing of logs into lumber, locally sourced lumber in stock, and live-edge slabs, including large slabs up to 76 inches thick for tables, desks, and other furniture. They also build handcrafted cabinetry and furniture if you want a finished piece rather than just boards. Species they work with include Ash, Maple, Elm, and Walnut, and they'll take other species on request. Chris has a degree in Forestry and is a licensed pesticide applicator, and the business also treats ash trees for Emerald Ash Borer and handles other tree health issues, so this isn't just a mill, it's tree care too. If you've got a log from a tree that means something to you, personally or sentimentally, they'll mill it or turn it into a custom piece. This is a small, hands-on operation. As Chris puts it, "When you call, message, or stop by, you'll be working directly with me." There's no sales layer between you and the person doing the work. This fits a landowner in or near Buena Vista County who wants a specific log or a stand of hardwood milled into lumber or furniture, not a large-scale timber sale, and who'd rather deal with one person directly than a bigger crew.
