Lumber yard

Some lumber yards offer retail sales to consumers, and some of these may also provide services such as the use of planers, saws and other large machines.

Generally, timber yards are locations where raw logs and other wood or forest products are processed and stored.

Lumber yards may also sell wood-plastic composites, such as Trex, any other type of construction material or supplies, and general hardware store items.
