Western Cedar

Cedar is naturally resistant to decay and insect damage. Its unique “grown-in-the-wood” preservative oil means that no further chemical treatment is needed, unless the lumber is in direct contact with the ground. Nature favors Cedar. With less than half the swelling and shrinking tendency of other domestic softwoods, it lies flat, stays straight, retains fasteners and provides a firm base for paints and stains. So your Cedar projects age gracefully through decades of Western weather.

But Cedar isn’t just these sturdy virtues. It’s also downright beautiful, with a rich grain, texture and color that compliment any architectural style, from traditional to postmodern. Build with today’s Cedar and enjoy the lasting prestige that imitators can only hint at.

Redwood Tree

To someone who has never seen one, a Redwood must seem to be something from a tall tale. Averaging eight feet to as much as twenty feet in diameter, and some as tall as three hundred seventy five feet. That is a tree taller than the Statue of Liberty, from base of the pedestal to the tip of the torch. A tree larger around and through than a Greyhound bus. Absolutely the largest living thing on earth. A typical Redwood forest contains more bio mass per square foot than ANY other area on earth, and that includes the Amazonian rain forests.
