Your Full-Service Lumberyard — 33 Minutes from Parkers Prairie
Parkers Prairie sits in Otter Tail County, about 30 miles east of Ashby on Highway 29. We work with homeowners and contractors across Parkers Prairie, Urbank, Miltona, Eagle Bend, and Clarissa — from new home builds and pole barns to lake cabin remodels and weekend projects. Whether you’re framing a house, re-roofing a garage, or putting up a shouse on a rural lot, we have the materials in stock and we deliver to your site.
What Building Looks Like in the Parkers Prairie Area
The Parkers Prairie area is a mix of small-town residential, farm country, and lake property scattered across eastern Otter Tail County. New homes on acreage, pole barns and shops for ag operations, shouses that combine living space with a shop, and cabin projects on the lakes south of town — that’s the building we see from contractors and homeowners in this area. It’s rural work, which means job sites that often don’t have a forklift waiting. Our trucks carry Piggyback forklifts so we can unload anywhere.
Why Parkers Prairie Builders Choose Lakeside
We do sprint buys — large-volume purchasing on the building materials every project needs. Framing lumber, treated lumber, OSB, plywood, roofing, insulation, drywall, concrete products, fasteners. We buy deep so these items are always on the shelf when you need them — not on backorder, not arriving next week.
For contractors running jobs in the Parkers Prairie area, that means you’re not losing a day to a materials shortage. For homeowners, it means you can get everything for your project in one trip to our showroom in Ashby — 33 minutes on Highway 29.
What We Offer
Building Materials — Framing lumber, treated lumber (green, brown, and gray), OSB, plywood, engineered wood, windows, doors, roofing (asphalt shingles and steel), siding (LP SmartSide, vinyl, steel), decking (Trex, TimberTech, treated, cedar), insulation, drywall, concrete products, fasteners, and more. If it goes into a building, we probably have it in stock.
Design and Drafting — Our in-house drafter Jamie produces permit-ready drawings and 3D renderings using Chief Architect. Whether you’re planning a new home, a garage, or a pole barn, Jamie can draw it and we can estimate it — all under one roof.
Complete Estimates — Every estimate from Lakeside includes everything your project needs. Not a partial list that leaves you scrambling for missing items mid-build — a complete, line-by-line materials package.
Delivery to Parkers Prairie — We deliver directly to your job site in the Parkers Prairie area with our full fleet: a flatbed dump truck for most deliveries, a straight truck with a Piggyback forklift for heavy loads, and a semi with a Piggyback for the biggest jobs. No waiting around for someone else to bring equipment.
What Our Parkers Prairie Customers Say
This lumber yard is the best! Staff is super friendly and the technology of them being able to virtually walk you through your house you are going to build before you build it with all their amazing lumber was a life saver. We noticed things we wanted changed that we never would have realized until it would have been too late. They made the deliveries whenever we needed more materials and never slowed our progress down. We built our house three years ago and we still feel the love every time we visit them! We would never choose anyone else and recommend them to everyone we know.
