Sawmills and pulp mills purchase harvested timber. Some mills have in-house timber buying divisions, letting landowners sell direct — cutting out the middleman.

Turner's Sawmill and Woodworks LLC is a portable sawmill and woodworking business in Emmitsburg, Maryland. It's a family owned and operated company, set up in Northern Frederick County on the same ground where the owner's grandfather and his brothers once ran a sawmill. The work is on-site bandsaw and chainsaw milling, brought to your property. The bandsaw rig handles logs up to 35 inches across and just over 16 feet long. The chainsaw mill can take logs up to 56 inches in diameter, any length, which suits spots in the woods or a backyard no vehicle can reach. They also offer skid loader work for moving logs and stumps, blade sharpening and setting, custom engraving, and custom woodwork like tables and charcuterie boards. They say "no job is too small." There's no stated minimum acreage, but the services point to a business set up for individual logs and single-property jobs rather than large harvests. They serve Frederick County, Maryland. This fits a landowner with a few trees down or a small stand who wants lumber cut on-site, not someone looking to sell a large standing timber harvest. From turnersawmill.com, read 8 October 2026.
Garman Brothers Inc is a mill in Crownsville, Maryland. It has a Google Maps business listing in that category. It is also listed as a timber buyer. A listing here is not an endorsement.
Frank Thomas Sawmill is a family-owned mill in Fallston, Harford County, Maryland. It was "started in 1933 during the Great Depression" and still runs out of the same address on Fallston Road. This isn't a business that buys standing timber or comes out to log your land. Instead, you bring your own logs to the mill and they do the cutting. They saw oak and poplar into green lumber, and will take a walnut or oak log from a home hobbyist's project just as readily as a farmer's fence boards or a construction company's trailer-floor stock. They can handle a log up to 24 inches in diameter and 20 feet long, and say "we will cut your logs into the size boards you desire." Beyond sawing, they offer planing, face jointing up to 16 inches wide, and power sanding, plus retail sales of kiln dried domestic and exotic lumber for furniture makers and cabinet shops. They serve local homeowners, farms, construction companies, cabinet shops, and county, state, and federal agencies, with work concentrated in Harford County. There's no mention of them buying timber or logs off your land, so this isn't the stop if you're looking to sell standing trees. It suits a landowner who has already had trees cut, or who is clearing some logs themselves, and wants those logs turned into usable boards, flooring stock, or mantels rather than sold as stumpage.

Second Chance Hardwoods is a sawmill in Elkton, Maryland, run by Chris Kendall. It serves Cecil County and sits near where Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware meet. The business custom saws logs into slabs and lumber to any specification on what it calls "this massive band saw mill," built over 18 years ago. The mill can turn out planks up to 55 inches wide and 27 feet long. It works with figured black walnut, maple (ambrosia, birds eye, spalted), sycamore, oak (red, white and black), figured ash, figured cherry, figured beech, elm, poplar and cypress, among other hardwoods. If you have a log to mill, it needs to be over 30 inches across, and you bring it to the mill in Elkton. Second Chance Hardwoods also keeps air-dried hardwood lumber on hand in three large pole barns, offering "top-quality, fine hardwoods at reasonable prices" to furniture makers, home builders, cabinet makers and do-it-yourselfers. This fits a landowner who already has large logs down and wants them custom sawn into slabs or lumber, rather than someone looking to sell standing timber or have trees logged off their land.

Bella Madero is a sawmill and custom lumber business in Davidsonville, Maryland, serving Anne Arundel County. It is not a timber buyer, so it won't come onto your land to purchase standing timber. Instead it works with wood you bring to it, or wood taken off a lot it clears, turning logs into lumber for your own projects. The business cuts a "variety of wood species" and offers custom lumber services alongside land clearing, lot preparation, and stone driveway restoration and repair. If you have a tree with history behind it, the fact that "people regularly come to us to utilize trees with great sentimental value" may matter to you. They say they take time up front to walk through your options before the project starts, since some cuts are quick and others take longer to get right. Bella Madero is family owned and run, and is a disabled veteran owned small business. It was started in 2021 when the owner bought a sawmill, after years of helping produce lumber for furniture work as a young man. This fits a landowner in Anne Arundel County who has specific trees, maybe ones that mean something, and wants them milled into usable lumber rather than sold off as a timber harvest. It also suits someone who needs a lot cleared or a stone driveway fixed alongside that milling work. From bellamadero.com, read 8 October 2026.

Louis J Grasmick Lumber Co Inc is a lumber mill and building materials supplier in Baltimore, Maryland, at 6715 Quad Avenue. It has supplied building materials across the Eastern Seaboard of the United States for more than half a century. In the register it is found under Baltimore city. It calls itself a "family owned firm now in its third generation." It sources building materials from manufacturers and supplies firms across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, serving local, national, and international markets. It notes it has "supplied lumber that ultimately arrived on The Moon," a sign of the scale of its trade. No species or standing-timber work are named here. What is named is milled lumber and building materials, moving from mill to market rather than tree to buyer. This fits a landowner who needs milled lumber or building materials delivered, not one looking for someone to walk the woods and make an offer on standing timber.

Smith Forest Products is a family-owned lumber mill in Fallston, Maryland, in Harford County. It's been running since 1914, now in its fourth generation, and makes mixed hardwood lumber and wood products, including industrial lumber for things like cranes, trains, boat locks, and shipping docks. Beyond milling, the crew does tree care and land work too: stump grinding, tree planting, tree health inspections and treatments, and 24/7 emergency tree removal if something comes down on your property. They also sell mulch, firewood, pilings, stakes, and sawdust, available by pickup or local bulk delivery, and offer "custom cutting to bulk supply" for lumber orders. Their certified arborists handle the tree-side work. Their process starts with "careful selection of sustainable raw materials from the forests of Maryland" and uses what they call classic milling techniques passed down through the family. There's no stated minimum acreage for timber sales, and nothing here says they buy standing timber or manage a harvest for a landowner. This looks geared toward mill products, tree care, and site work rather than walking your woods and making an offer on the stumpage. This fits a Harford County landowner who wants firewood, mulch, stump grinding, or tree care done by a long-running local mill, not someone looking for a straight timber sale advisor.

Mayberry Run Farms is a sawmill in Taneytown, Maryland, in Carroll County. They cut lumber to order, priced by the board foot, and also build timber frame pavilions, run-ins, coops, and playhouses. As they put it, "Although we are branching our business out more in the direction of providing customers timber frame buildings, we do still in fact run a sawmill." They cut pine and oak, with cherry, walnut, hickory, and ash available by request. Work is milled to your order rather than bought standing, so this is a place for getting logs or lumber cut, not for selling timber off your land. They note that milling your own order cuts out a third party sawmill, saying "we've already saved the cost of a third party sawmill." They work out of Taneytown and serve Carroll County. This fits a landowner in Carroll County who has logs to turn into boards and beams, or who wants a timber frame building built from milled lumber, rather than someone looking to sell standing timber or have a tract logged.

Terry's Custom Milling, in Myersville, Maryland, is a sawmill for folks who have logs or downed trees and want them turned into something useful rather than left to rot. Terry first set out over 20 years ago supplying firewood from a home-built splitter, then started milling after coming across some cherry logs with no one around to saw them. The work is custom milling: you bring the wood by, or Terry picks it up, and he saws it into lumber for furniture, flooring, or decor. He also sells pre-cut hardwood and firewood, including restaurant wood for wood-fired ovens, and offers on-site firewood splitting if you've got downed trees and the means to load them. He works mainly with cherry and hardwood logs. Delivery is free within a 15 mile radius of the shop. He's listed in Frederick County and serves that area. There's no stated minimum size here, since this isn't about standing timber sales but about milling logs and trees you already have down. As Terry puts it, "there's no need to let them rot, we can mill them for you." This fits a landowner with a tree or two down, or a small lot they're clearing, who wants that wood turned into lumber or firewood rather than hauled off or burned in a pile, not someone looking to sell standing timber off acreage.

Wood Eye Wood Products is a sawmill in Smithsburg, Maryland, up in the Catoctin Mountains of Frederick County. Keith Schoonover started it in 1989, and it's still a family operation, with his wife Lori and their kids helping out from time to time. The work here is custom sawing, wide slab flitching, and quarter sawing, plus kiln drying and slab flattening. They cut ash, cherry, maple, oak, sycamore, and walnut. If a tree company is clearing land, or a homeowner has a fallen or dead tree, Keith comes out with his log truck to pick up the logs himself and hauls them back to the mill. From there the wood is sawn, air dried, then finished in a kiln that runs on a wood fired boiler burning scrap from the milling process, so nothing goes to waste. They run two band sawmills, one with a 32 foot cutting capacity and another that handles stock up to 58 inches wide. There's no stated minimum acreage or lot size here. This outfit works from individual logs and fallen trees rather than standing timber tracts, so it's really built for a landowner with just a tree or two down, not someone selling off a stand of timber. Keith describes his approach to the wood itself as wanting every finished surface to feel "like new born skin." This fits a landowner in Frederick County with a tree down or a small amount of logs to turn into lumber or slabs, more than someone looking to sell a standing timber harvest.

Questions landowners ask
How many mills are there in Maryland?
26 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the Maryland forestry register, covering 13 counties between them.
How do I choose between them?
Start local and get more than one. A business based in your county knows the mills and the ground; one registered for all one hundred counties may be three hours away. Every listing here shows how far its office is from the county you are looking at, so "will travel" is never mistaken for "is local". TimberClear has not vetted, verified or endorsed anybody on this site.
