Producing premium green hardwood lumber and buying timber across Alabama for nearly 50 years. Competitive prices. Honest dealings. Family service.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Mr. Keller — then a logger — grew frustrated with the log prices offered by Mead Hardwoods, the only sawmill in town. After several conversations about fair pricing, he took matters into his own hands: he bought the land on which our mill now stands, began offloading logs and holding monthly log sales, and built from there.
What started as a log yard grew into a small circle mill, and finally to the size we are today — shipping several trailer loads of wood products every day to local, regional, national, and international customers.
"I would rather make a friendship that lasts a lifetime than a business deal that is over in one day."
— Mr. Keller, Founder
Growth aside, we remain a small, family-owned company with a family feel and mentality. Nothing makes us happier than serving people with their wood product needs — and if we can't sell you something, we simply enjoy meeting and fellowshipping with new people.

At Keller Lumber, we don't think of ourselves as timber buyers — because buying timber is such a small part of the overall process we call Land Management. We are one of the largest landowners in the region, managing tens of thousands of acres, and we bring that experience to every property we touch.
We understand what it takes to make a piece of property the best it can be — not just for a single harvest, but for generations to come. Our team is led by professionals committed to the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) standards.
Selective and clear-cut harvesting managed for long-term forest health.
Extraction of rock and aggregate resources from your property.
Species-appropriate replanting to restore and improve your timberland.
Food plots, road clearing, and habitat improvement for hunting leases.
Our team includes some of the best foresters in the industry — Auburn graduates who view themselves as land managers, not just timber buyers. We strive to abide by the standards of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI).
