Our Roots                                         

In 1968, Ralph Taylor founded the Hardwood company, Ralph Taylor Lumber, in Memphis, TN, the Hardwood capital of the world. Starting out as a broker, Ralph grew the company, invited family into the business and watched the company expand its services and products. Through the dedication and hard work of family, owners and employees, RTL has become a fully integrated state of the art Hardwood lumber co. with locations in Southern MS and Idaho and two saw mills in Clarendon, AR. Under the operation of 2nd and 3rd generation knowledgeable lumbermen, RTL maintains their reputation through out the industry world-wide: providing excellent sales and hardwood lumber.
