HISTORY OF EBYLAND LLC
The history of Ebyland LLC is embedded in the history of our previous owner Eby Sawmill.
Eby Sawmill began in 1988 as a small sawmill owned by two brothers and their dad. They built it on their dad’s farm and began to saw lumber. About a year later, they bought a wood grinder to grind their slabwood into mulch. From that day forward, we have been in the mulch business. Some of our older customers remember driving clear out to Beans Cove and being loaded with a Massey Ferguson loader tractor. Then we upgraded to a Bobcat skid loader. The sawmill continued to grow and produce more byproduct which was ground into mulch. And the mulch business expanded with it. Soon we began to offer mushroom soil as well.
In December of 1998, the sawmill burnt to the ground. We moved the sawmill to another site on the farm and rebuilt that spring. By the end of March, we were able to saw our first board due to an outpouring of help because of the disaster. We are very grateful to this day for all the help we received. The mulch yard moved to the new location and was there for several years until it was decided that we needed a location closer to Cumberland, MD to better serve our customers.
We opened up the landscape center at our current location in the spring of 2002. Older folks will remember the Bauer’s Garden Center that was there before us. Many changes have happened here as well. The old bank barn caught on fire in March 2003 and burned to the ground. We fixed up what was left into our office today.
We have expanded from a little mulch yard to a landscape center that offers a full array of products. We offer many choices of mulch, soils, decorative gravel, hardscaping, water gardening, patio & lawn furniture, outdoor fire pits, bbq grills and more.
Today, Ebyland LLC is owned by Keith & Sylvia Eby. January 2018, Keith & Sylvia purchased the business from Eby Sawmill. We continue to focus on providing quality products to our community with personalized customer care. Our staff is knowledgeable and friendly. We welcome you to come experience Ebyland!
