Stability & Longevity

With its unique natural preservative, cedar is an outstanding building material for fences, decks, pergolas,, landscaping, interior and exterior features. Any application where the use of a stable and reliable wood building material is desired, will benefit greatly from cedars natural properties.

Real Natural Beauty

Because of its real natural beauty, cedar is often used to create dramatic entryways, exterior post and timber features, trim effects, and accents. Choosing cedar ensures that the special details of your home withstand the test of time.

Earth Friendly

Renewable by nature, grown through sustainable forestry and fully reclaimable, cedar wood carries a light footprint—much lower than any other construction materials.

Trees sequester carbon and produce oxygen; wood products further extend this cycle by storing the carbon dioxide for decades.

Healthy & Sustainable

Wood structures are healthier for occupants and require less energy to build and operate. The recent trend in biophelic design is helping us rediscover many attributes of wood as a positive contributor to healing and mental wellness. Wood’s tonal range and pronounced grain help
re-connect people to nature.
