Redwood: A Naturally Elegant Solution for Your Outdoor Space

Few materials match the visual warmth and character of redwood. With its rich color variations and fine, straight grain, redwood provides a natural, high-end finish that enhances any project. It also works well with stains and sealers, allowing you to customize the look to suit your home’s style.

Beyond its aesthetic qualities, redwood is lightweight, easy to handle, and naturally resistant to decay and insects—making it an excellent choice for both experienced DIYers and those just getting started.

Project Inspiration: Build Beautifully with Redwood Lumber

Create a Lasting Outdoor Deck

Redwood’s natural resistance to warping and moisture makes it ideal for decks that not only look great, but stand the test of time. It stays cool underfoot, perfect for warm Bay Area summers.

Design Your Own Raised Garden Beds

Redwood from Humboldt Redwood Company is untreated and safe for growing vegetables and herbs. Its clean lines and organic tones bring structure and elegance to any yard or patio.

Add Dimension with a Pergola or Trellis

Introduce shade and architectural interest with a redwood pergola or garden trellis. These additions not only create functional outdoor spaces but also increase the overall value and appeal of your property.

Build a Fence That Blends Privacy and Style

Redwood’s strength and graceful weathering make it an outstanding option for fencing. Choose from smooth or rough finishes to match your desired look, from contemporary to classic.

  • Fastening tips: Use stainless steel or coated fasteners to prevent discoloration and ensure longevity.
