We are specialists in the installation of the world’s most durable
exotic hardwood; Brazilian Ipe. 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.

Ipe post and footing detail
Ipe deck when newly installed with
hidden fasteners. Ipe deck treatment
is only needed if you desire to keep
the rich brown colours that exist in a
new installation. Ipe lumber will age to
a natural silver gray patina, and
outlast most woods with no chemical
coating. Applying a preservative to
Ipe lumber is not recommended. The
wood is very dense and the
chemicals do not penetrate below the
surface, and besides the ipe wood
has its own natural decay defenses,
so the process is not necessary.

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.

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! Our rough
cedar pergolas are built with frost depth footings and
hidden galvanized fasteners, lag bolts and screws.

the perfect place for a backyard vineyard. The

Cedar will patina to a natural silver-grey with no
chemical coating. Applying a stain or paint to Cedar
lumber is not recommended unless you plan on
repeating the process every couple years (Again,
gou have just created higher maintenance). We
promote everything that is low maintenance!
"Good fences make good neighbors."

completely closing you off from the adjoining yard.
To remain a "good neighbor" carefully check and
recheck the location of a boundary fence against a

structure to be appreciated, not the ugly fasteners
