CEDAR IS OUR BUSINESS!!
(AND HAS BEEN FOR OVER 80 YEARS!)

STEPHENS CEDAR YARD

Texas’ oldest and largest cedar yard!
Since 1939, we have been supplying the highest quality and largest selection of mountain cedar fence posts, decorative timbers, and specialty products in Texas.

Got Cedar? We need it! 
We specialize in low-impact land clearing, using hand crews to harvest timber and repurpose it. Landowners can reclaim valuable acreage at a greatly reduced cost, and by recycling up to 75% of the material, there is less impact to the environment.

Need Cedar? We got it!
From fence posts and staves, to timbers and porch columns, we have the largest inventory of any cedar yard around. Our grade and quality far exceeds the industry standard, making us the obvious choice for the discerning rancher or contractor.

Create beautiful fences, structures, and ranch improvements!
Cedar is an environmentally-friendly, organic choice for fencing material and home accents. It will outlast all other outdoor post and column material by decades. Add a touch of Hill Country charm to your home, ranch, or property.
