Hardwood Industry Leader
The growth of our family-owned corporation results from our ability to produce the best quality American hardwoods and respond quickly and efficiently to our customers’ needs.

T&S Hardwoods’ premium Appalachian hardwoods are harvested in the high elevation forest of the Southern Appalachian Mountains. The exceptional trees that flourish in the area’s cool, wet climate has brought T&S Hardwoods world acclaim. Our Appalachian hardwoods can be found where uncompromised quality is demanded.

Our Southern hardwoods are harvested from the rolling hills of the Piedmont Region and from the flood plains of inland rivers. The rapid timber growth in these forests produces excellent lengths and widths in all grades of our Southern lumber.
