Founded by a University of Georgia graduate with a degree in Landscape Architecture, our reputation as naturalist designers has grown through decades of responsive customer service and industry expertise. We expanded into log home construction in 1979 to meet eco-conscious demand, later pioneering urban timber recycling after hurricane devastation impacted our family tree farm. Our state-of-the-art facility features advanced milling equipment, including Wood-Mizer bandsaws and drying kilns, enabling us to deliver premium reclaimed and specialty lumber.With 85% of our stock sourced from urban timber and local farms, we specialize in hard-to-find species and custom solutions for architects, contractors, and artisans. Our commitment to quality extends to wide plank flooring, timber framing, and structural trusses, backed by rigorous grading and drying processes. Decades of hands-on experience ensure every project receives expert guidance and exceptional value. We serve diverse industries including construction, furniture making, and historic restoration, maintaining Georgia-based operations since our founding. Our team combines technical precision with deep ecological awareness to transform raw materials into functional art.
