Lumber Yard

Hi, I was talking to a friend recently and trying to say that I went to the lumber yard. Somehow my "tienda de madera" didn't seem quite right. Is there an word/expression for "Lumber Yard"? And is there a distinction between the small neighborhood lumber yard that I knew growing up, or the big-box lumber yards like Home Depot of today. They seem like different beasts, but in English both are still called lumber yards. Thanks so much. -mn
