Town and Country Sawmill is a sawmill in Middle Island, New York. They are "a Long Island based Sawmill company specializing in helping our customers to recycle their own home grown trees." If you have a tree down, this is a place to bring it rather than send it to the chipper. You can select from their inventory of logs and have something custom cut, or bring your own log and they will mill it for you. They carry logs that can be cut to order, along with live edge slabs and dimensional lumber already milled, plus cut cookies in various thicknesses. They work with lumber and sawmill services, including custom cutting, for craftspeople across Long Island, and they serve Suffolk County. Their stock changes often, so they ask people to get in touch to schedule a time to come see what they have on hand. This one is not set up for standing timber sales or logging jobs on acreage. It suits a landowner with a tree or two already down, who wants that wood turned into something usable rather than hauled away or burned, and who does not mind working by appointment around an inventory that shifts from one visit to the next.

How much is my timber worth in Suffolk 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 Suffolk 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.
