Sawmill Services in Texarkana, AR
Cranford Tree Service and Land Management brings portable sawmill services to your property, turning logs into lumber instead of waste.
What Our Sawmill Services Cover
Our sawmill services give Texarkana area property owners a way to make use of the trees on their land instead of losing them to a burn pile or a landfill. We bring portable sawmill services directly to your property, so there's no need to load and haul heavy logs anywhere.
Log milling services work best on hardwoods and pines that are still sound: oak, pecan, cypress, and pine are common around this region and mill into solid, workable lumber. Whether the logs came from a storm-damaged tree, a routine removal, or land you're clearing for a new project, we can assess the wood on-site and let you know what it's good for.
Custom lumber milling means the boards come out cut to the dimensions your project actually needs, not whatever a big-box store happens to stock. That's especially useful if you're planning a gazebo, a shed, fencing, or furniture and want lumber with a story behind it.
Our Sawmill Process, From Log to Lumber
Milling lumber on-site takes the right equipment and a clear plan, especially when logs are large or the mill has to work around existing structures. Here's how we handle it from start to finish.
-
Step 1: On-Site Assessment
We look at each log's species, length, diameter, and condition to determine whether it's worth milling and what kind of lumber it will produce. This step also flags any rot, metal, or damage that could affect the cut.
-
Step 2: Portable Sawmill Setup
We bring our portable sawmill to your property and position it near the logs, so there's no need to transport heavy timber off-site. This keeps the job efficient and avoids extra handling that can damage the wood.
-
Step 3: Milling to Your Specifications
We cut each log into boards, beams, or slabs based on your project needs, whether that's framing lumber for a gazebo or custom slabs for furniture. We keep waste to a minimum and stack finished lumber as it comes off the mill.
-
Step 4: Stacking, Drying, and Cleanup
Finished lumber gets stacked and stickered so it can air dry properly before use. We clear sawdust, bark, and any leftover wood debris removal from the site so your yard is left clean, not cluttered.

Karen Roberts 2 years agoFriend shared my name and address and I got a call, Brice had already been by to look and gave me a VERY good fair deal to clean up a partially downed tree someone else did not complete cutting and clean up. He came that very day and worked hard to finish cutting down, clean up that project AND some other trimmings from some trees in my back yard. I was very happy but he insisted to stay even longer and rake and blow all loose leaves and debris before he would let me pay him. When he finished my front lawn looked like nothing had ever happened!! Please support this honest and fair business!. We as a community need to keep him!

Cody 2 years agoBrice and his crew cut down three big pine trees in front of my house for me. They did a great job! I've got two more trees in my backyard that need to come down. I'm definitely calling them back when I get ready to do it.

James Ponce de Leon 3 years agoI was in terribe shape after a lightening strike hit a 100' tall pine in my backyard, splitting it to the ground and catching it on fire. The tree was only 65 feet from my house and was at risk of falling onto it. I called Cranford Land Management and Brice came by within the hour. The job was qouted and I called the next day to give them the go ahead. They were at my house the next morning to put the tree on the ground so it would not fall onto my house. It was raining heavily that week, so they came back several times to clear out the debri when it was dry enough so they woulld not tear up my grass in the yard. The friendly, highly professional work was excellent. Now I have them doing work on my land cutting trails. I will never call anyone else.

Caitlyn Trim 6 years agoBrice was a pleasure to hire. He worked us into his schedule so he could get our tree down before a big storm was supposed to hit, in order to save our home if it fell. Pricing was very fair and he was quick and efficient. Would highly recommend.
