Redwood is a wood like no other and decks built of redwood are unique in their beauty and long-lasting service. There’s a grade of redwood lumber for any part of any deck—luxury decks, economical decks, simple decks and decks that push the limits of the definition.

The care taken in planning, choosing materials, double-checking measurements and adding personal finishing touches will go a long way in making your deck project look professional.
