Arthur Bowman purchased his first sawmill for $150 in 1926, and sawed hemlock for barns for farmers as a side business to his own farm on Route 11 in Castle Creek, New York. During the depression years, he delivered firewood and potatoes to Binghamton, New York. His son Melvin joined in a partnership with his dad in 1955 and then bought out the business in 1969.
Melvin bought the first automatic mill and upgraded with an in-feed deck and log turner. A.D. Bowman & Son Lumber Co., Inc. was incorporated in 1974. A third generation, Joel Bowman, started working here part time at the age of 14 and has been managing the company since 2002. A new sawmill was constructed at the present site in 1978-79 with room to grow.

Services
Our mulch is all-natural with no additives or colorants and sets off your plants and/or flowers beautifully. It holds moisture for your plants, helps prevent weed growth, and maintains a balanced soil temperature. Our grinder produces a fine, even consistency for easy spreading. The "regular mulch" is heavier and does not break down as quickly as the reground mulch.
