J.H. Knighton Lumber Co., Inc. is a family-run sawmill in Ruther Glen, Virginia. It makes pine and hardwood lumber and sells rough-cut green lumber. The business has been family owned and operated since 1969. Besides the mill, it buys standing timber, does logging, and chips whole trees. Its work covers hardwood and pine clear-cutting, pine plantation thinnings, and whole-tree chipping. It also gives timber value estimates. The counties it names are Caroline, Hanover, King and Queen, King William, and Spotsylvania. The minimum tract is 20 acres, stated plainly on its own pages: "If you own, or know someone who owns, 20 acres or more, please give us a call." A sale starts with a call. Their forester then reaches you, and the process includes a phone interview and an on-site evaluation of your timber. After the forester meets with you and gets a timber value estimate, "we may make an offer to purchase your timber." This one suits a landowner with 20 acres or more in one of those five counties who wants a mill-based buyer that also does the logging and can say what the standing timber is worth.

Whatever you agree on, get it in writing before the logs move. Amelia Lumber Co. suits a landowner in Amelia County with softwood logs who wants them sawn without leaving the county. If that is you, call the mill and ask about a cut. From saylerscreek.com, read 17 October 2026.

Hanneman Forest Products is a family owned and operated business in Mechanicsville, Virginia. It makes bulk firewood for private homes and wholesale, colored and plain mulch, and woody biomass for paper mills and power plants. John E. Hanneman runs it with his wife Donna and their two sons. For a landowner, the useful part is what happens to the wood. Tree companies and clearing contractors bring logs and chipped trees to the Wood Yard at 9130 Barricade Lane in Mechanicsville. The yard sorts the wood. Pine goes out as logs for sawmills or as pulpwood for paper, and hardwood logs are split into firewood. The family says "We waste nothing." Getting that wood is their first concern: "Getting wood and woody debris is the number one priority." The work is centered on Hanover County, and they will deliver to most locations in the greater Richmond area. Firewood sales began in 1992, and the family has run the business since 1995. Mulch is sold from a yard in Mechanicsville and another in Rockville, with wholesale prices for landscapers and retail prices for the public. It suits a landowner near Hanover County or Richmond who has logs or cut wood to move and wants to deal with a family yard that has a long history in firewood and mulch.

Hanneman Forest Products is a family owned and operated business in Mechanicsville, Virginia, with a second mulch yard in Rockville, west of Short Pump. John E. Hanneman runs it with his wife Donna and their two sons. John holds an Environmental Science degree from UVA. The firewood side began in 1992, and the family has run the operation since 1995. Most of what comes through the gate is wood other people need to get rid of. Local tree companies bring in their chopped-up trees, which saves them a disposal fee, and several clearing contractors bring in trailer loads. The company sorts it. Pine goes out as logs for sawmills or as pulpwood for paper. Hardwood logs are split into firewood on their processors. The rest is ground into mulch, colored brown or black, and some wood goes to paper mills or power plants as biomass. "We waste nothing." Firewood is sold in bulk to private homes and wholesale. Mulch is sold wholesale to landscapers and retail to the public, and it can be delivered to most locations in the greater Richmond area. The woodyard at 9130 Barricade Lane in Mechanicsville takes in log length wood, and the business serves Goochland. Hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 4:30pm, at 804-752-4854. This suits a landowner whose trees are already cut or coming down and who wants the wood taken to a yard that uses nearly all of it. From hannemanforestproducts.com, read 17 October 2026.

Madison Wood Preservers Inc is a wood treating plant at 216 Oak Park Road in Madison, Virginia. It treats pine lumber under pressure and sells the finished product, so it is listed as a mill.

It also makes pressure treated fence posts, cut to 7, 8 and 10 feet, from 3 inches to over 8 inches across.

Its market is mainly the North East region of the United States. It has over 73 employees, and the office is open 7:30 to 5:00 Monday to Thursday and 7:30 to 4:00 on Friday.

It sells hardwood firewood, either delivered or picked up, and it also does hauling, lot clearing, and sawmilling. It runs a disposal site and offers mobile firewood processing too. If the trees are already down, this is the work it takes on. The business will come to your job site or home and "remove tree logs which were previously cut down," then haul them to mills. It handles lot clearing, and it offers custom sawmilling, with quotes given by phone. If you have logs, stumps, or brush with nowhere to take them, you can bring them to its disposal site.

This suits a landowner who already has trees cut down and needs them hauled, cleared, or sawn. From northlandingfirewood.com, read 23 October 2026.

Rock Wood Products is a sawmill in Bowling Green, Virginia. It saws logs into lumber, and the wood it works with is softwood. A landowner holding pine or other softwood trees will find that is the kind of wood it handles. The business serves Caroline County, so owners there are inside the area it covers. Owners in other counties are outside it. Its service is sawmilling, and the mill itself is in Bowling Green. Softwood is the only species it deals in, so a stand of hardwood would fall outside its work. It suits a Caroline County owner with softwood logs who wants them sawn close to home, and who would rather deal with a mill in the same county than send timber further afield.
