Easley, SC

Dans Tree Care is a tree business in Easley, South Carolina, at 215 Slickum Rd. It has served Upstate South Carolina since 2005 and lists the Greater Greenville area and beyond as its service area. Its main trade is tree care: inspections, pruning, cabling, precision felling, removing trees over a house, pool, or power lines, and storm clean-up with emergency service 24 hours a day. The business says it climbs without spikes and works without bringing heavy machinery into the yard. For a landowner with timber, the sawmill is the part to look at. The business runs its own band sawmill and mills logs into lumber to your specs, including straight-edged and live-edged boards, beams, and slabs up to about 24 inches wide. It can also cut veneer strips down to about 1/8 inch. Species it usually keeps on hand include oak (red and white), yellow poplar, yellow and white pine, eastern red cedar, sweetgum, red maple, black walnut, black cherry, and American holly. If you bring your own logs, it will mill them, and in most cases it can pick them up for an extra fee. On tree removals, it says "we can also often sell your logs to lower your expenses." The business is fully insured and gives free estimates. It suits a landowner who needs a tree removed near a structure or wants logs turned into lumber or slabs, and who would rather deal with one business for both the felling and the milling.

DCW Hardwoods is a portable milling business based in Little River, South Carolina. Portable milling means the sawmill comes to your land, so logs do not have to be hauled off to a fixed yard first.

A portable mill suits a landowner who would rather not truck logs far and who wants to see the work done on their own ground. The business handles hardwood, so the species match is clear from the start. This one suits a Horry County landowner who wants a portable miller for hardwood. Put the same questions to each business on your list: what species they cut, and how the job runs from the first tree to the last board. From dcwhardwoods.com, read 16 October 2026.

It also says it enjoys sawing live edge slabs and will advise you on getting the best slabs from each log. This suits a landowner who wants a mill brought to the woods, is comfortable with hourly billing, and has poplar or hardwood logs to turn into lumber on site.

Walterboro, SC

Nature's Manor is a sawmill, vacuum kiln and woodshop in Walterboro, South Carolina, at 7979 Jefferies Hwy. It serves Colleton County and runs its own family sawmill. The shop mills freshly cut lumber to fit a project, dries it in a vacuum kiln, and turns it into live edge tables and shelves, custom signs and engraved pieces cut on a 5' x 12' CNC machine. The shop describes its work as "From tree to furniture and all things in-between". Everything is done in house, so the wood stays under one roof from the first cut to the finished piece. The kiln drying is meant to keep the wood's natural beauty and strength, and each piece is customized to what the customer needs. It suits someone who wants one shop to handle sawing, drying and finished work, or someone who wants custom live edge furniture or signs made from local wood.

It works with softwood and hardwood, including pine, walnut, white oak and poplar. It takes logs from 12 inches to 55 inches across at the small end, and 4 feet long or longer. The business offers "custom milling for the public," at $150 an hour for logs up to 30 inches across, with a one hour minimum.

Charleston, SC

Carolina Sawyers is a portable milling business in Charleston, South Carolina, run by Ted Bullock. Ted brings a mobile saw mill to your land and cuts your fallen trees to the sizes and dimensions you need. He mills on a Cooks AC-36 and can handle logs up to 36 inches in diameter and 21 feet long. The work is finished on site, so you leave with usable green lumber. If the logs are already down and you'd rather not have the mill on the place, Carolina Sawyers will pick them up and take them to its own site. There is also custom work. If you want a particular species or dimension, Ted will help you find the right piece. Dimensional lumber and slabs are offered for sale, and you call for the current inventory. Ted's background is in boats and wood. He sailed and maintained wooden boats, built them as Barrier Island Boat Builders, and first took up milling through work on the Spirit of Charleston tall ship in 2006. He has milled logs for friends and family too. Pricing is by the hour or by the day, plus travel and setup charges, and prices are quoted on request. The pages name pecan, and the listing covers softwood and hardwood. Ted says he believes in the "handshake" method of doing business. Carolina Sawyers suits a Charleston-area owner with felled trees who wants them milled on the spot into framing, fencing, out-buildings or decks, and who is happy to agree the job by handshake.

Questions landowners ask

How many portable & custom milling are there in South Carolina?

57 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the South Carolina Forestry Commission consulting forester list, covering 27 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.
