CEDAR PRIVACY FENCES
IPE HARDWOOD DECKS
ROUGH CEDAR PERGOLAS
Fences help define our outdoor living space and give us privacy
in our crowded suburban neighborhoods. Our cedar privacy
fences are build exceptionally strong with 16’ alternating runners,
not 8’ and with galvanized screws, not nails. If you find a cheaper
bid from our competitor, it probably is being constructed with ring
shank nails that will fail over time. Our fence will probably be the
one still be standing after the big storm!

Our gates are reinforced with extra construction
brackets keep it square and eliminate gate sag
over time. This will be the first thing to malfunction
on our competitors fences. This comes standard
will not find any other fence company include this
in their estimates so make sure you compare
apples to apples if getting estimates.
If you plan to be in your home for awhile and want
the best quality and durability, go with us!

Cedar will patina to a natural silver-grey with no chemical coating. Applying a stain or
preservative to Cedar lumber is not recommended unless you plan on repeating the
process every year or two. By doing this you have just created a high maintenance
project. In contract, we promote everything that is low maintenance. We usually
design our fences to be sleek and simple and serve as a functional element of the
landscape. We prefer your landscape plants be the center of your focus.

We are specialists in the installation of the world’s most durable hardwood; Brazilian
Ipe or ironwood. This amazing wood is wonderful “Green” building product due to its
ultra low maintenance properties, 50+ year lifespan and sustainable reforestation.
IPE has natural decay resistance superior to that of cedar or redwood and does not
contain dangerous chemical preservatives. IPE is incredibly tight grained, dense
and strong; a 1x6 IPE deck board will easily span 24” o.c.
IPE is more cost effective than you may think. IPE decking costs about the same as
equivalent grades of cedar, redwood and most composite deck materials. The most
inexpensive deck is ACQ Pine. However, the beauty, refined look and amazing
durability of Brazilian Ipe is the lowest cost and most rewarding in the long run.

We construct most ipe decks with "Ipe Clip" hidden fasteners.
This keeps the surface smooth and blemmish free and is up
to 3x stronger than other fastening methods. If you find a
cheaper bid from our competitor, it probably is being
constructed with nails or low quality screws that rust and fail
over time.
Ipe lumber will age to a natural silver gray patina, and outlast
all other woods with no chemical coating. When allowed to
patina, ipe will not rot because of its own natural decay
defenses. It will remain smooth and splinter free even after 25
to 50 years. If you desire to keep the rich brown colours that
exist in a new installation, you will need to apply an oil-based
finish. This is totally optional and does not effect longevity; it
only protects color.
This is as close to a zero maintenance as possible. We
challenge you to find a picture or article about "ipe wood rot"
on the internet; we never have.

Most ipe wood comes from tropical rain forests in South America; we only
buy from sources that are procured in a legal and environmentally
responsible manner. We pride ourselves on the fact that our responsible
forestry efforts save thousands of acres from being destroyed for farm
land. Only a few logs are cut per acre which allows forest to regenerate
and be logged again in 10 to 15 years. This puts a value on the forest,
saving them from being slashed and burnt for agricultural and cattle land.
By buying tropical timbers from a reputable company that practices good
forestry, you are helping to save the forest by putting a value on the timber
so that the land is not burnt. It may seem unbelievable that someone
would burn forest that contained valuable timber, but the fact is that for a
cattle farmer it is more profitable than to go through the bureaucracy of
obtaining the necessary environmental surveys and obtaining the slew of
permits needed to harvest/mill/&export even a few trees per acre. For

A rough cedar pergola will add that “outdoor room” to your house for a fraction of the cost of a
room addition! What a perfect way to shade your deck without waiting for a shade tree to
grow! Pergolas also create the perfect place for a backyard vineyard. The structure makes it
easy to grow and harvest grapes.
