A very large urban maple tree that was past its prime and far too valuable to go to waste.

Because of growing conditions, urban trees often have highly figured wood.

What we offer:
Welcome
By using our lumber for your building or hobby projects, you are supporting a
sustainable local business and giving an otherwise doomed tree a second life.
Also, we do not fell trees, but If you have a tree that needs to be removed please
contact us and we can recommend an arborist. If the tree is usable to us, we may
be able to work with your arborist and salvage the tree once it is down to lower your
removal bill while putting the tree to good use.
Urban Lumber Company
Urban Lumber Company specializes in salvaging urban trees from the
Eugene/Springfield area. By working with arborists, homeowners, and
municipalities, we utilize storm damaged, dead, and hazardous trees.
We process trees that were otherwise destined for the landfill or burn
pile into specialty lumber and quality wood products. We believe that
using sustainable materials is as important as shopping local and using
the resources in our own back yard. Please join us in protecting our
valuable local resources!
3 to 4 billion board feet of usable lumber is thrown away every year as one third of
our nations green waste. Like many areas, Eugene, Oregon is in the middle of
an urban forest that contains more trees than people. These trees are vital to our
economic sustainability and community's well being. Nobody likes to see trees
go away, but when it is absolutely necessary, they should go to a better place than
the landfill or burn pile.
