Quality Hardwoods Sourced Close to Home

South Side Lumber sources hardwoods from Bates County and neighboring counties in Missouri and Kansas. Missouri hardwoods offer dependable performance and, in many applications, perform as well as or better than lumber shipped from more distant regions.

Working with a local sawmill gives you the opportunity to discuss your lumber needs directly with the people supplying it. We take pride in helping customers choose suitable material while keeping project requirements and order volume in mind.
