About Dallas Cedar Lumber Company
50 Years of Family Tradition & Cedar Excellence Across DFW
Our Story
From a small family lumber yard to DFW's premier cedar specialist — five decades of dedication, quality, and community.
1976
Metro Lumber is Founded
Alex Pizette’s grandfather establishes Metro Lumber in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, planting the roots of what would become a multi-generational family business built on hard work, integrity, and a passion for quality wood products.
2008
Cedar Becomes the Focus
Recognizing the unmatched beauty, durability, and demand for Western Red Cedar in the Texas market, the business strategically refocuses. Dallas Cedar Lumber Company is born, specializing in premium cedar for DFW homeowners and contractors.
2014
Alex Pizette Takes the Helm
Alex Pizette carries the family legacy forward, taking ownership of Dallas Cedar. Under his leadership, a second Arlington location is added and the product line expands to include Accoya® modified wood.

Our Commitment to Quality & Community
Cedar Expertise You Can Trust
At Dallas Cedar, we don’t just sell lumber — we guide every customer toward the right solution for their project. Our team has hands-on knowledge of cedar grades, moisture content, dimensional stability, and the specific performance characteristics that matter for DFW’s hot summers and occasionally freezing winters.
Whether you’re a homeowner planning a backyard deck or a commercial contractor needing volume cedar siding, we bring the same care and expertise to every order. We stock premium Western Red Cedar in a wide range of dimensions, and we offer custom milling for projects that need a specific profile or size.
As an Accoya® Approved Manufacturing Partner, we also provide access to the world’s most advanced modified wood — a material that outperforms cedar in demanding applications and carries an industry-leading warranty.
Serving DFW for Generations
Dallas Cedar’s roots go deep in the DFW community. We’ve watched neighborhoods grow, watched backyards transform, and we’ve been proud to supply the cedar that made it happen. From humble beginnings as Metro Lumber in 1976, we’ve grown into a two-location operation serving customers from Dallas and Garland to Arlington, Plano, Richardson, Rockwall, and beyond.
We believe the DFW market deserves a lumber supplier that actually cares — one that offers fair pricing, honest advice, and the kind of personalized service you simply can’t get from a national chain. That’s been our philosophy since day one.
We’re also proud to support the DC Outdoor Living sister brand, extending our family of quality cedar products and outdoor living solutions across North Texas and beyond.
DFW's Best Prices on Premium Cedar Lumber
We offer competitive wholesale and retail pricing on Western Red Cedar, Accoya®, and specialty building materials — with no big-box markups and no compromises on quality.
