“Big Creek Lumber is unique among lumber yards in that our redwood comes directly from our own forests and sawmill, which means we are able to offer you a consistently high-quality product at a more competitive price than our competitors.”

Big Creek Lumber is a family-owned and operated lumber company that has been serving Central California since 1946. We operate a logging operation, forestry department, wholesale division, sawmill and five retail lumber yards. Come to Big Creek Lumber to get what you need for all your home improvement projects. Big or small, we’ve got what you need to get the job done:

We Deliver to You

Let us take care of getting the lumber to you. Our delivery area extends throughout central and northern California to get you the lumber you need. Our trucks are equipped with Beavertails and Piggybacks which allow for deliveries with ease. The Beavertail trucks gently lower lumber using our “Beavertail” system. This system, designed by our Co-Founder Bud McCrary fifty years ago, works by using a pivoting system on the back four feet of the truck bed to roll the material off the truck and gently lower it on the ground. Our Piggybacks are trucks which carry a forklift with them to unload at the job site.

Practicing Sustainable Forestry

We take great pride in our long history of superior forest stewardship. Our company utilizes a framework of progressive and conservative forest management practices, like selective harvest, to cultivate viable redwood forests that will remain productive and enjoyable for future generations. Big Creek Lumber is the first wood-products company operating within a redwood forest to have company lands awarded the “Well Managed Forest” certification by the Forest Stewardship Council®.
