We won’t let great hardwoods go to waste.

California Urban Lumber mills and sells lumber from trees cut by local municipalities or tree service companies in Northern California.  All trees were removed when necessitated by natural mortality, disease or insect damage, new construction, root damage to sidewalks or foundations, wild fire control and storm damage. We never buy rainforest lumber.

Currently there is a strong movement throughout the United States to better utilize urban lumber to keep it from going to waste. California Urban Lumber is proud to mill local, urban timber into high quality lumber, from over 25 different species.

We provide beautiful, local, and often rare wood for contractors, cabinet makers, artisans and furniture makers.  As an example: In 2008, JFC Construction, Inc. in Martinez, CA used over fifteen thousand board feet of lumber milled by Cal Urban Lumber in the Alviso Adobe Community Park project in Pleasanton, CA.

California Urban Lumber is devoted to reducing our carbon footprint by decreasing the need to transport wood from distant forests. We also air dry our lumber versus kiln drying, reducing the consumption of fossil fuels.
