Here We Grow Again!

For the first few years out here, we continued our service business in Houston and Austin. Here it is 13 years later and we are proud to call Columbus, Texas our home. We have expanded our business during that time and now have a variety of products and innovations available at our new location off of Business 71 just North of Columbus. We offer custom tree houses and play set design and construction, do-it-yourself swing set kits, Ready to play swing sets, custom wooden pergolas, and a variety of natural lumber products  available in bulk quantities including douglas fir, redwood and western red cedar for all of your decking remodeling, or home project needs.

If you live in the Colorado Valley area, Colorado County, Austin County, Fayette County, Washington County, and counties bordering our area in the fine State of Texas, stop by or call to support a small locally owned family business.

  •         Durability: Redwood is known for its natural resistance to decay and insects. This makes it a durable choice for outdoor projects such as decks, fences, and garden furniture.
  •         Weather Resistance: Redwood has natural oils that make it resistant to weathering, moisture, and harsh environmental conditions. This makes it suitable for outdoor applications where exposure to the elements is a concern.
  •         Aesthetics: Redwood has a rich, attractive appearance with a natural reddish-brown color. Many people appreciate the natural beauty of Redwood, making it a popular choice for projects where aesthetics are important.
  •         Workability: Redwood is relatively easy to work with, making it a good choice for DIY projects. It can be easily cut, shaped, and finished to achieve the desired look.
  •         Sustainability: Redwood is often sourced from sustainably managed forests, making it an environmentally friendly choice for those who prioritize sustainability in their projects.
  •         Versatility: Redwood is versatile and can be used for a wide range of projects, including outdoor furniture, decking, siding, and more. Its versatility makes it a go-to option for many different applications.
  •         Longevity: Due to its natural resistance to decay and insects, Redwood has a longer lifespan compared to some other types of wood. This can be a cost-effective choice in the long run as it may require less maintenance and replacement.
