When it comes to building and design, choosing the right materials can make all the difference. Homeowners, builders, and DIYers alike want products that look beautiful, last for decades, and are safe for their families and the environment. At Mountain Milling Co., that’s exactly what we provide through our passion for Eastern Red Cedar.

Why Cedar Stands Out

Eastern Red Cedar is more than just another wood. It’s naturally resistant to insects and decay, making it perfect for everything from siding and soffits to interior accents like ceilings and walls. Its rich color, aromatic scent, and distinctive grain bring warmth and character that manufactured materials can’t match. Plus, cedar’s sustainability makes it an eco-friendly choice for today’s homes.

Our Commitment at Mountain Milling Co.

We’re a family-owned sawmill and lumber yard based in Mountain Home, Arkansas, specializing in custom-milled Eastern Red Cedar products. From tongue & groove boards and shiplap siding to live-edge slabs and custom projects, we take pride in crafting lumber that inspires creativity and supports our clients’ visions—whether it’s a new barndominium, a rustic cabin, or a backyard pergola.

But we’re more than just a mill. Our goal is to be a trusted partner. That’s why we share expert insights, project inspiration, and hands-on support to help you get the most from your materials.

Building Your Next Project With Us

At Mountain Milling Co., we believe the right materials don’t just build structures—they build memories. Our cedar has been featured in homes, shops, barns, patios, and even community spaces throughout Arkansas and beyond. Every project is an opportunity to showcase the strength, beauty, and versatility of natural wood.

✨ Whether you’re a contractor planning your next build, a DIYer taking on a weekend project, or a homeowner dreaming up your forever home, we’d love to be part of your journey.
