Outdoor rooms are different from ordinary rooms. They serve as an intermezzo between home and nature. Redwood decks are living rooms. Breakfast rooms. Exercise rooms. Rooms for sunbathing. Rooms for gatherings of friends and family. Rooms for quiet times with a good book. Redwood performance characteristics include resistance to shrinking, warping and checking in addition to durability. This means redwood projects age beautifully. Decks, fences and shelters made with redwood simply look better ten, fifteen and twenty years? after construction.
Quality landscape architecture requires building materials that are beautiful and long lasting. Materials need to withstand environmental elements yet retain their symmetry and aesthetic purpose. Redwood has a well-earned reputation for meeting these requirements. Equally important, there are cost-effective redwood grades to specify for every project, whether it is a public plaza or a residential garden.
