As spring rains give way to sunny days and warm weekends, many homeowners begin thinking about ways to enhance the landscaping around their homes. There are a 
number of landscaping materials available for homeowners to choose from, but only one that combines beauty, durability, and sustainability – redwood lumber.
Redwood landscaping materials are well-known for the elegance with which they blend with outdoor surroundings. The warm red and rich cream tones of real redwood naturally enhance outdoor landscapes in a way that plastics and composite products cannot match. Beautiful redwood landscaping materials can be used to build flower beds, planter boxes, and lawn edging, to name a few.
Besides beauty, redwood landscaping materials offer natural durability against the elements. Redwood lumber is naturally resistant to insects and decay, meaning flower beds and planter boxes will last longer when built with redwood landscaping materials. Redwood also shrinks and swells less than some other building materials and is less likely to warp, split, check or cup. The durability of redwood is matched only by its versatility. Redwood is easy to saw, drill, and nail, making for nearly unlimited landscape design options.
Redwood landscaping materials made from Mendocino® redwood also come from sustainable sources. Mendocino redwood lumber is harvested from forestlands that are managed in an exemplary manner. The Forest Stewardship Council ®, the leading, independent forest certification standard in the world, has certified the forestlands of Mendocino Redwood Company since 2000. This means that by choosing the Mendocino lumber brand for redwood landscaping and other redwood projects, homeowners, contractors, and architects are actively supporting responsible forestry practices.
The Mendocino brand of redwood landscaping products is available exclusively at The Home Depot stores in California and a number of other Western states. To find out whether a store in your area sells the Mendocino redwood landscaping products, please see our easy to use Store Locator.
