L2 Sawmill is a portable sawmill business in Flint, Texas, run by Lance. He sets his mill up on your land and saws your logs into lumber there, so the logs never have to be hauled to a mill. In his words, "I'll come to your place and saw your logs into lumber for you." The business also buys logs now and then and sells some lumber. The mill handles red oak, white oak, post oak, eastern red cedar, southern yellow pine, pecan, hickory, walnut, black cherry, elm, sweetgum, sycamore, birch, cypress, ash and maple. Oak, cedar and pine are the most common. Logs need to be at least 10 inches across the small end, stacked with the small ends together on firm, level ground that the mill can reach. On a mobile job you supply one or two helpers and, on most jobs, a tractor or skid steer. Other services include live-edge slabs, kiln drying of up to 3,500 board feet, and moulder-planer work. Mobile sawing is billed by the hour, not by the board foot. The area covered is East Texas, with Smith County named. A job starts with you sending pictures of the logs. Lance may come out to look at them, and then you agree on a cut list and sign a work agreement before a date is set. Payment in full is due on the spot once the job is complete. The business does not do saw on shares, take down trees or haul logs. It carries general liability, commercial vehicle and workers compensation insurance, and Lance holds a Class A CDL. Most milling runs October through May, since he slows down in the summer heat. This suits a landowner with a pile of logs from their own place who wants them sawn on site and can supply the help and machinery. It does not suit someone who wants a timber sale with the logging done for them. From l2sawmill.com, read 18 October 2026.
B&N Logging LLC is a pine and hardwood logging company in Livingston, Texas, in Polk County. It has been logging in Polk County and the surrounding East Texas counties since 1992. The company buys pine and hardwood tracts of timber from private landowners, harvests the trees, and hauls the wood to local mills. It also does dozer, motorgrading and trackhoe work, including land clearing, road maintenance, driveways, ponds, and site prep, and it runs a pine replanting service for landowners. Its work covers Angelina, Liberty, Montgomery, Polk, San Jacinto, Trinity, Tyler and Walker counties. A sale can be made in one of two ways. You can take an up-front lump sum for your timber, or you can be paid by the ton, with payment each week as the wood is hauled to the mill. The owner, Billy Rowe, advises landowners on whether to thin the stand, clear-cut it, or let it grow a few more years. The business carries general liability and workers' comp insurance. Billy and his foreman are Pro-Loggers, and the company is a member of the Texas Logging Council and the Texas Pro-Logger Program. They take extra care to avoid wasting any wood. Replanting is usually done in January and February. This suits a landowner with pine or hardwood tracts in East Texas who wants a choice between a lump sum and weekly payments by the ton, and who may need road, pond or site work done before or after the cut.

Texas Timber Company LLC buys timber and land across East Texas, working from an office in Diana. Besides buying timber, it does logging, land clearing and site work, and forestry consulting. Its services include first thinning, second thinning, select harvest, clear cut and real estate aesthetic harvest, along with mulching, land management and timber management plans.

Quotes and assessments are free. The team is Prologger Certified and fully insured, and it says it has 50 years of experience collectively. The company describes its approach as "a hassle-free process." For logging contracts, Texas Timber Company LLC needs at least 10 acres of high quality timber. Its small crew handles smaller tracts of mature timber, typically 5 to 20 acres, such as a select harvest in Diana that kept a property under a timber exemption. Mulching is quoted by the acre, day rate or hourly, and the company works within at least a 100 mile radius of Longview, including Upshur County and Gregg County. This suits an East Texas landowner with at least 10 acres of good timber who wants one firm to buy it, cut it and help plan what comes next. From texastimberco.com, read 8 October 2026.

A sister company handles road work, pad construction, and pond construction. Their pond work runs from a 2-acre pond to a 30-acre lake, by their account. They work in Rusk County. This suits a landowner in Rusk County who wants one crew to handle logging, clearing, planting, and pond work on the same property. From cooktimbercompany.com, read 18 October 2026.
Second Chance Sawmill is a sawmill in Stephenville, Texas, in Erath County. It turns old or downed trees into live edge slabs and furniture grade lumber, and it buys logs too. The owners put their purpose this way: "Giving old or downed trees new life." It buys and cuts most Texas native trees and names pecan, cedar, blackjack oak, black walnut, cypress, elm and mesquite. It does not buy oak unless it is blackjack oak. Logs can be up to 54 inches wide and 7 to 12 feet long, with 8 to 10 feet preferred. Trees should be fairly straight, with a slight curve at most, and the trunk cannot be hollow. Small branches and leaves must come off before the log is brought to the mill. The price paid depends on size, species and rarity. The mill says it does not haggle on price: "We do not haggle with pricing." When stock is full, buying stops and there is a waitlist. A lumber share works differently. You bring the tree, they cut it, and you keep half while they keep half. Milling is billed by the hour, at $75 on the TimberKing for smaller logs and $125 on the Woodmizer for logs over 15 inches, each with a two-hour minimum. Hitting metal in a log adds a fee. Toby Beyer owns the business, and Sam and Ben Heizer became partners in January 2024. It suits a landowner with a few straight, downed or aging trees of the species listed who wants them milled or sold as logs, and who is ready to work within posted rules rather than negotiate price.

Questions landowners ask
How many timber buyers are there in Texas?

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".
