KNOW YOUR WOOD: Redwood
What is Redwood?
This legendary hardwood is a softer wood option that is naturally reddish in color, but can have variants of gold and deep auburn. Every redwood board is unique and it’s own natural work of art created by nature that simply cannot be matched by manufactured alternatives. One look at a fence, gate, deck, patio or pergola made of redwood and it will speak for itself. It is durable, and naturally has absorbent qualities which allow it to hold up better than other woods in humid or wet environments. Installations using redwood shrink and swell much less than other woods so they are less likely to warp, split or crack. This tried and true favorite among homeowners and contractors is renewable, recyclable and biodegradable.
