3 Ways to Upgrade Your SoCal Backyard with Lumber

05/16/2011

One of the most enjoyable areas of your property is the backyard, especially in Southern California.  Unfortunately, some people have long abandoned their plans for a dream backyard, believing it to be too difficult or expensive. However, it’s not difficult to upgrade with lumber and have the backyard you deserve.

Here are three ways to upgrade your backyard with lumber, making it a space you can enjoy all year long, in rain or shine.

  1. Patio Cover – A patio cover is a simple and inexpensive way to add value to your home and make your days on the patio more enjoyable.  There’s no shortage of sunny days in Southern California, and a patio cover is the best way to keep you cool, protect your deck, and shield your eyes from the sun.  Redwood  and Western Red Cedar are  particularly popular  choices  for your patio cover because of  their weather resistant qualities and beautiful appearance.
  2. Garden Box – Want your garden to stand out?  A garden box will bring excitement to your garden area and provide a great atmosphere for your backyard.  Your  vegetables will be protected and serve as a  colorful addition to your landscape, and you’ll never have to worry about the neighbor accidentally mowing over your  garden .
  3. Fencing – Not only will a new fence offer you privacy, security, and peace of mind, but it will add curb appeal to your home.  The first impression of your home can be immensely improved by lumber fencing, which is versatile and elegant.  Whether you’re interested in gothic privacy, shadowbox, or a spaced picket design, you won’t be disappointed with the results.

At J & W Lumber, we have been upgrading backyards with lumber since 1957 and we’ll gladly add the patio cover, garden box, or fencing you need.  If you have questions about lumber and its many uses in your home, visit our website today.
