Doe Hall Creek Timber Company, LLC is a natural resource management and consulting company based in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. It works with industrial, private non-industrial, non-profit, institutional and government landowners in the Southeastern United States. It names Charleston County among the areas it serves. For a timber sale, the company starts with pre-harvest planning, lays the sale out on the ground, and makes a harvest map. It then either sends out bid invitations or negotiates with select wood buyers. While cutting goes on, it monitors the work, handles stumpage payments, and checks the timber settlements. Timber cruising gives the volume and type of standing timber, with value estimates based on current average stumpage prices for the region. Management plans are written documents, and every one needs at least one site visit. The company also does prescribed burning, site preparation, reforestation, and real estate sales and acquisition. It oversees property line work, firelines, roads and food plots, and it calls itself a "one-stop-shop for landowners." Richard L. Morrison started the business in the spring of 2008.

Mill on Wheels is a mobile sawmill in Ellenboro, North Carolina, in the foothills of Western North Carolina. Rather than hauling logs to a mill, they "bring the saw mill to YOU," cut the logs into lumber on your land, and stack the boards there. They say they have done this for over 10 years. They mill oak, cedar and pine to custom dimensions, including live edge and bookmatched lumber. Logs up to 32 inches across and 18 1/2 feet long can go through the mill. The lumber is stickered and stacked for airflow, and Chris Carroll, who holds Woodmizer's Million Boardfoot designation, will tell you how to keep it from molding. The business also does clearing and site prep, debris hauling and cleanup, and project consulting. A job starts with a consultation about your trees. If the mill needs to see the site first, that visit costs $180, which comes off your first invoice if you hire them. You get a written estimate by email, then pay a deposit to hold your place in the queue. They usually stay booked three to four weeks out, and weather affects the schedule. They work in Western NC, the Piedmont area of NC, Upstate SC and Eastern TN, and have done jobs as far off as Charleston, SC. This suits a landowner with oak, cedar or pine who wants the logs milled where they lie and lives in one of those areas. From millonwheels.com, read 3 October 2026.
