Redwood Lumber Products
Redwood is an aesthetically pleasing, long lasting natural material sought after for its superiority among other natural materials. This iconic tree has a well-known reputation for withstanding the environmental elements while retaining symmetry and aesthetic purpose. Redwood comes in cost effective grades for every project whether it is a public plaza or residential garden.

Common Uses for Redwood
Redwood siding, redwood paneling, redwood trim, redwood cabinetry, redwood molding, redwood fascia, redwood soffits, and redwood millwork. Also fine redwood decks, redwood hot tub surrounds, redwood saunas, redwood garden structures, redwood industrial storage and redwood processing tanks.

Qualities Not Found in Other Woods
Performance is not just durability. Redwood is renowned for multiple characteristics such as dimensional stability, strength, and longevity. The natural beauty of the wood comes from the warm, gorgeous colors created within the growth of the tree. Redwood projects age beautifully. Decks, fences and shelters made with redwood simply look fantastic ten, fifteen and twenty years after construction.

Redwood Forests
Lumber-producing redwood forests have proven to be well managed and sustainable. Harvested lands are always replanted and resources from water to wildlife habitat are conserved and protected. Roughly 90 percent of managed redwood forestlands have been certified sustainable by the Forest Stewardship Council or Sustainable Forestry Initiative, and all redwood forests are subject to California's strict environmental regulations.

There are more than 1.7 million acres of redwood forests thriving in California about the same number of acres as we had before the Gold Rush, with about 400,000 acres held in public parks and reserves. Towering redwoods (redwood is the tallest tree in the world) and spectacular old-growth groves are typically found at the mouths of rivers and where centuries of periodic flooding deposited layers of nutrient-rich soils. Virtually all old-growth trees are protected from harvest, and forestry companies invest millions of dollars to enhance water quality throughout the redwood region.

Redwood lumber comes from privately owned, second- and third-generation forests that have raised sustainable forestry to new heights. With active management, forest-regeneration and continued conservation, there will be more redwood trees in the near future than there are today.

Redwood Grades
For durability and resistance against insects and decay, redwood is graded by its color. Reddish-brown heartwood from the inner portion of the tree contains extractives that render it resistant to decay. The cream-colored sapwood that develops in the outer growth layer of the tree does not possess the heartwood’s resistance to decay and insects. As a rule of thumb, all heartwood grades of redwood will have the word “Heart” in the grade name.
