Western Red Cedar
Nothing compares to the aroma, texture, and performance of Western Red Cedar. At R.A. Green Lumber, we consider this species the “crown jewel” of exterior wood. Celebrated for its natural oils that act as a built-in preservative, Western Red Cedar is the premier choice for siding, decking, and outdoor structures. It stands up to the harshest environments—from coastal salt air to mountain snow—without the need for heavy chemical treatments. If you are looking for a material that combines sustainable luxury with lifetime performance, our Western Red Cedar is the answer.
Why Quality Builds Start with Western Red Cedar:
Western Red Cedar is world-renowned for its “dimensional stability.” This is a technical way of saying it doesn’t shrink, swell, or warp nearly as much as other wood species when exposed to moisture and temperature swings. This makes it the perfect candidate for intricate siding patterns and high-traffic decking where tight joints and flat surfaces are required. Beyond its physical performance, it offers a natural R-value (insulation) that keeps homes cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, making it an environmentally conscious choice.
Visually, Western Red Cedar is breathtaking. Its color palette ranges from mellow ambers to deep reddish-browns, often within the same board. Whether left to weather into a classic silvery-grey patina or finished with a clear coat to preserve its vibrant hues, it adds an immediate “premium” feel to any project. At R.A. Green, we source our cedar from sustainably managed forests, ensuring that this incredible resource is available for generations to come.
We see our Cedar used in the most demanding architectural designs—shingle siding on Cape Cod homes, modern slat walls in California, and heavy timber gazebos in the Rockies. It is a wood that tells a story of quality and taste. When you specify R.A. Green Western Red Cedar, you aren’t just choosing a building material; you are choosing a natural legacy of durability. It is the gold standard for those who refuse to compromise on the exterior beauty and longevity of their home.
