Turning Yesterday’s Trees into Tomorrow’s Homes
LumberByLance was born from a simple idea: nothing beautiful
should be wasted.

Stop Burning the trees on your land.

Burning lumber instead of processing it releases significant air pollu9on (black carbon, soot, dioxins and PAHS) harming health, and causes soil degradation. We Bring a Portable Sawmill to Cut Lumber on Site for Land Developers.

LumberByLance helps land developers convert hardwood from their own property into kiln-dried flooring, cabinet lumber, beams, slabs, and architectural features creating homes that feel authentic, distinctive, and valuable as soon as they hit the market.

Why This Changes Your Margins

Cleared hardwood is often burned, hauled away, or mulched — destroying valuable building material.

Every piece of hardwood removed during clearing represents either a cost or an opportunity. Most developments treat hardwood as disposal. We treat it as inventory that can be integrated into the homes to add value.
By reclaiming usable trees from your own land, you gain access to custom building material that would normally cost significantly more to source through traditional lumber channels. Create homes that feel distinct, intentional, and premium without inflating your build budget.

You’re not adding cost, you’re converting waste into product. LumberByLance can produce hardwood at the land clearing site for less than $1.50 a foot for all tree species

Instead, we:

  • We mill usable hardwood (oak, cherry, maple, etc.) for interior use.
  • Prepare custom flooring, beams, mantels, slabs, and furniture grade lumber.
  • We will build your cabinets
  • Deliver installa=on-ready lumber at a frac=on of retail cost

You reduce sourcing costs while increasing perceived home value.
LumberByLance is All inclusive, we kill it, mill it, Kiln it and (planar)mill it.
Homes That Stand Out and Sell Faster Built with quality =mber from your land. People respond emo=onally to real wood, especially when it comes from the land
where their house was built. Homes built with wood sourced from the property itself feel grounded, real, and personal and that difference shows in photography, showings, and word-of-mouth referrals. When a buyer hears that their floors, beams, or mantel came from the land beneath the home, the property instantly carries a story no competing development can duplicate.

Homes built with on-site hardwood:

  • Differenate your builds from competitors, the ultimate green thing you can do.
  • Are more sen=mental and unique
  • Create a story buyers remember

Kiln drying ensures these features remain stable long aPer closing.

Unique Value from Tree Root Balls

The tree root ball oPen produces some of the most visually striking grain available swirling, drama=c, and impossible to replicate.

When suitable, we can mill and kiln-dry tree bulbs into:

  • Statement slabs
  • Feature walls
  • Tables
  • Countertops
  • Architectural accents

Material that is normally buried or burned becomes a signature upgrade.

How It Works

  1. Iden=fy hardwood during clearing
  2. We evaluate usable material
  3. Logs are milled and kiln-dried
  4. Lumber is prepared for installation
  5. Features are integrated into builds

We work alongside clearing schedules.
