Landscaping Materials

Railroad Ties

When you want to build a retaining wall with a rustic appeal, used railroad ties create a solid framework. They are available in two grades (#1 and Premium) and come in 8′ and 6′ lengths.

These are best for non-structural landscape projects for decorative planting. They should not be used near edible plants, fruits, or vegetables as the wood has been treated with chemicals to prevent rotting.

Pecky Cedar

Our pecky landscape timbers have the natural decay resistance of Incense Cedar. These timbers are durable and perfectly suited for your next landscaping or garden project.

And, unlike pressure-treated or injected timbers, they are completely free of man-made chemicals, which makes them a great choice for vegetable beds.

Pressure Treated Lumber

We offer ground contact (.40-.60 ACQ) rated pressure-treated Douglas Fir and Hem Fir materials. We stock lumber that ranges from landscape grade 6×6 to construction grade 2×12.

These wood types are also highly resistant to insects and decay, and are a cost-effective alternative for your retaining wall needs. This lumber is in stock every day and is available in the following sizes: 2×4, 2×6, 2×8, 2×12, 4×4, 4×6, 4×8, 6×6, 6×8, 6X12.

They can also be used for decorative purposes for your landscaping project when building a walkway or garden bed. The long-lasting durability and versatility of lodge poles allow for several uses depending on your desired design.

Redwood

Redwood is a naturally beautiful, untreated choice for retaining wall materials. This long-lasting material is available in several grades and textures. Plus, for homeowners already drawn to redwood for use with other outdoor projects, choosing the same material for landscaping delivers a streamlined look.

J&W’s most affordable landscape grade redwood is a merch grade heart redwood that is mostly made up of decay-resistant heartwood, which makes it a great product for retaining walls and garden boxes.

Redwood Bender Board

Redwood Bender Board is a great edging product that is easy to work with and can bend to most garden shapes. J&W Lumber stocks redwood bender boards in several widths, thicknesses, and lengths, which can pretty much guarantee we have the board you need to get the job done!

We also have Redwood Stakes available that can also be used for edging projects. The strength, sustainability, and appearance of the wood make either option an optimal one when building out your landscaping layout.

Epic Bend-a-Board (plastic bender board)

Bend-a-Boards are available in 1×4, 2×4, or 20′ lengths. It’s versatile and easy to install for non-structural uses.

Plus, since the materials are not wood-based, they won’t rot or splinter. Also, the flexibility of the material allows you to get creative with edging for all types and sizes of landscape projects.

Power Poles

The placement of your outdoor plants is important. You want to make sure they’re situated where they can receive enough sun, water, and shade, and there’s easy access to sprinkler systems and lighting as the plan calls for.

Need a way to get temporary or permanent power sent to a structure? J&W Lumber can special order these as needed.
