Alexander County is located in western Piedmont, North Carolina, at the edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It includes approximately 102,745 acres of timberland, which is 62% of the total land area.  Most of the timberland is owned by private landowners and is a valuable timber resource that can be utilized by the forest products industry in producing both pine and hardwood lumber products.

Lumber typically refers collectively to wood that’s been processed for use as a building material or wood that has been milled and cut into boards or planks. This cutting happens in a lumber mill, and the finished product is sold at a lumberyard, like that of Church and Church Lumber.

Typically, lumber goes through many layers of production before you can purchase the hardwood you wish to use for the project you have in mind. The process starts with the landowner growing the trees, moves through the logging and transport operation to the sawmill, then to a dry kiln, and finally to a lumber yard. 

The lumber is then moved to various concentration yards closer to the markets, then to other concentration yards as it is traded until finally it reaches the local store, where it is placed on the shelves.

If you buy hardwood and pine lumber for eventual consumption, consider contacting Select Hardwoods Lumber, the best place to purchase hardwood lumber in Alexander County, NC.
